ATRA mechanically reprograms pancreatic stellate cells to suppress matrix remodelling and inhibit cancer cell invasion [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a dismal survival rate. Persistent activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) can perturb the biomechanical homoeostasis of the tumour microenvironment to favour cancer ...

Bioactive glass-ceramic scaffolds from novel 'inorganic gel casting' and sinter-crystallization [PDF]
Highly porous wollastonite-diopside glass-ceramics have been successfully obtained by a new gel-casting technique. The gelation of an aqueous slurry of glass powders was not achieved according to the polymerization of an organic monomer, but as the ...

Mechanisms of Baroreceptor Activation
The determinants of the nerve activity generated at the baroreceptor endings have been examined. 1) In the isolated carotid sinus, the placement of activated bovine aortic endothelial cells decreased baroreceptor activity (BRA) in a reversible manner. Both endothelin and nitric oxide (NO) suppress BRA, whereas prostacyclin (PGI2) increases activity. 2)
