Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

Hesperidin enhances intestinal barrier function in Caco‐2 cell monolayers via AMPK‐mediated tight junction‐related proteins

FEBS Open Bio, 2023
The intestinal epithelium is a single‐cell layer on the mucosal surface that absorbs food‐derived nutrients and functions as a barrier that protects mucosal integrity.

Effect of ischemia on the canine large bowel: A comparison with the small intestine [PDF]

, 1996
Mucosal injury caused by ischemia and reperfusion has been well documented with the small intestine, but little is known about the colon. In the present study, the effect of warm and cold ischemia on the canine colon was studied and compared to that on ...

Spatial Patterning of Modular Gelatin‐Peroxide Microspheres in Melt‐Electrowritten Scaffolds Provides Controlled Oxygen Generation and Mitigates Hypoxia and Cytotoxicity

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bioassembly approach is described using photo‐crosslinked gelatin‐based microgels containing calcium peroxide (CaO2) to generate oxygen (O2) and enhance cell survival in hypoxic conditions (1% O2). Bioassembly enables spatial patterning of individual CaO2‐laden and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)‐laden microgels and allows for decoupling and mitigating ...

Ileal Mucosal and Fecal Pancreatitis Associated Protein Levels Reflect Severity of Salmonella Inflection in Rats [PDF]

, 2010
Background Microbial infections induce ileal pancreatitis-associated protein/regenerating gene III (PAP/RegIII) mRNA expression. Despite increasing interest, little is known about the PAP/RegIII protein.

SLAMF7 regulates goblet cell mucus production and negatively impacts gut homeostasis and commensalism

Gut Microbes
Crosstalk between the intestinal mucosal barrier and the gut microbiota contributes to maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Accumulating evidence suggests that diverse mechanisms are involved in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Any disturbance in these
