Chamber‐Specific Decellularized Extracellular Matrices Differentially Modulate Cardiomyocyte Subtypes to Drive Engineered Heart Tissue Development and Function

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Chamber‐specific decellularized extracellular matrices (ECMs) were developed, preserving native proteomic profiles of ventricular and atrial myocardium. These innate biochemical cues differentially modulate cardiomyocyte subtypes to drive engineered heart tissue development and function, highlighting the importance of incorporating regional ECM cues in

Simvastatin Restores Uteroplacental Hemodynamics and Trophoblast Function in Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome in a Placenta‐on‐a‐Chip Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Simvastatin mitigates placental hypoperfusion in OAPS by ameliorating abnormal uteromaternal hemodynamics and enhancing trophoblast invasion via optimized endothelial cell interactions under pathological shear stress, as evidenced by results from a placenta‐on‐a‐chip platform.

New Dynamic Muscle Fatigue Model to Limit Musculo-Skeletal Disorder [PDF]

, 2016
International audienceMuscle fatigue is one of the reason leads to Musculo-Skeletal Disorder(MSD). Automation in today's industries makes human effort very less, but still there are many industries in which human have to do complex and repetitive tasks ...

Dynamic Modulation of the Microenvironment Promotes Functional Maturation of Engineered Tissues

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered tissues lack the dynamic microenvironment of native tissues. A biocompatible, diffusible small molecule to dynamically modulate tissue microenvironments during maturation is used. Timing‐dependent modulation yields distinct outcomes, producing thicker, more native‐like blood vessels, stronger and more mature cardiac tissues, and optimized ...

Differences in lower limb co-contraction calculations vary clinical interpretation of aquatic treadmill walking in typically developing and children with cerebral palsy

Frontiers in Neurology
ObjectiveThe purposes of this study were to (1) investigate muscle co-contraction during aquatic (Wet) and conventional (Dry) treadmill walking at various speeds in typically developing (TD) and children with cerebral palsy (CP) and (2) explore how the ...

Requirements for contractility in disordered cytoskeletal bundles

, 2012
Actomyosin contractility is essential for biological force generation, and is well understood in highly organized structures such as striated muscle. Additionally, actomyosin bundles devoid of this organization are known to contract both in vivo and in ...

Copolymers of Poly(Butylene Trans‐1,4‐Cyclohexanedicarboxylate)/Pripol as New Biomaterial Platform for Small Diameter Vascular Graft

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospun tubular scaffolds from novel PBCE‐based copolyesters and blends were designed as candidates for small‐diameter vascular grafts. They combine defect‐free architecture, blood‐compatible surfaces, and mechanical properties comparable to native vessels.

Temperature-dependent tonic contraction of smooth muscle in Antarctic fishes Notothenia neglecta and Chaenocephalus aceratus - Role of calcium ions and responses to acetylcholine [PDF]

, 2000
The isolated intestinal smooth muscle of Antarctic fishes Notothenia neglecta and the icefish Chaenocephalus aceratus displayed a sustained tonic contraction depending upon the temperature of the nutritive bath.

Melt Electrowriting High Resolution Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...
