A Microphysiological Interface of Skeletal Myobundles and Inflamed Adipose Tissue for Recapitulating Muscle Dysfunction in an Obese Microenvironment

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A human cell‐based microphysiological system integrates engineered muscle tissues with an inflamed adipose–macrophage niche to model obese microenvironment‐induced muscle dysfunction. Muscle contraction is quantified by pillar deflection coupled with computational stiffness estimation. Secretome and transcriptomic profiling reveal inflammation‐mediated

Growth Hormone‐Loaded 3D Printed Silk Fibroin‐Cellulose Dressings for Ischemic Wounds

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed wound dressings combining carboxymethyl cellulose, silk fibroin, and growth hormone accelerate healing in diabetic ulcers. These bioactive, customizable dressings enhance angiogenesis, cellular proliferation, and immune modulation. Proteomic analysis reveals activation of regenerative pathways and reduced fibrosis, highlighting their ...

Magnetic Bioprinting and Actuation of Stretchable Muscle Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Human and murine myoblasts labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles are magnetically bioprinted into wrench‐shaped tissues, which are then anchored between two magnetic needles. Mechanical stretching of these tissues enhances both their maturation and functional performance. Abstract Engineering tissues with precise, long‐lasting shapes and the capability

Relaxing action of adrenergic β2-agonists on guinea-pig skinned tracheal muscle

open access: yesAllergology International, 1999
Although adrenergic β2-agonist-induced smooth muscle relaxation has been attributed to increased intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP), a relaxation response has been observed at low β2-agonist concentrations that do not cause increased cAMP To elucidate the ...

Compression‐Tension‐Asymmetry and Stiffness Nonlinearity of Collagen‐Matrigel Composite Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐assembled collagen hydrogel matrices are widely used in tissue engineering applications. These matrices stiffen and contract laterally under tension due to fiber alignment and soften and collapse under compression due to fiber buckling. It is demonstrated that filler materials, such as Matrigel, linearize the mechanical behavior of collagen ...

Feasibility of calculating rocuronium dosage by skeletal muscle weight in patients with obesity

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
This study aimed to investigate the dose–response relationship of rocuronium administered based on skeletal muscle weight and to assess the feasibility of calculating rocuronium dosage by skeletal muscle weight in short surgeries for patients with ...

Reactivation of contraction in detergent-lysed teleost retinal cones. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Teleost retinal cones contract in the light and elongate in the dark. In the green sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus, the necklike myoid region of the cone contracts from as much as 120 micrometers (midnight dark-adapted) to 6 micrometers in fully light-adapted
