Effect of hypokinesia on contractile function of cardiac muscle [PDF]

Rats were subjected to hypokinesia for two months and the contractile function of isolated papillary muscle was studied. Hypokinesia reduced significantly the isotonic contraction rate which depended on the ATPase activity of the myofibrils; it also ...

Tapered Pillar Design for High‐Precision Force Readout in Miniaturized Engineered Heart Tissues From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered heart tissues (EHTs) are a valuable approach in capturing human cardiac physiology and drug responses in vitro. Here, a novel tapered pillar design is developed in an EHT platform to confine tissues in a predefined position‐ at the middle of the pillar height.

Therapeutic Implants: Mechanobiologic Enhancement of Osteogenic, Angiogenic, and Myogenic Responses in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on 3D‐Printed Titanium Truss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates a synergistic effect between 3D‐printed surface features and mechanical micro‐strain in enhancing the osteogenic, angiogenic, and myogenic responses of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Load‐induced mechanotransduction, facilitated by the implant's architectural design, significantly amplifies hMSC differentiation.

3D‐Printed Multidimensional Bionic Mg‐MC/PLGA Composite for Tailored Repair of Segmental Long Bone Defects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops 3D‐printed Mg‐MC/PLGA scaffolds with varying Mg concentrations (0–20%). The 5% Mg scaffold shows optimal cytocompatibility, osteogenic activity in vitro, and significantly enhances bone regeneration in rabbits, improving bone volume and mechanical strength.

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...
