Xeno‐Free Biocompatible Peptide‐Based Bioinks Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofibers for 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A xeno‐free bioink combining self‐assembled peptides and cellulose nanofibers is developed for 3D printing. The bioink forms a non‐cross‐linked 3D scaffold, mimicking the extracellular matrix and supporting over 95% cell viability. This approach offers enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical stability, advancing 3D printing for personalized medicine ...

Diastolic Ventricular Interaction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background Exercise‐induced pulmonary hypertension is common in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We hypothesized that this could result in pericardial constraint and diastolic ventricular interaction in some patients during ...

Low NT-proBNP levels in overweight and obese patients do not rule out a diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome that presents clinicians with a diagnostic challenge. The use of natriuretic peptides to exclude a diagnosis of HFpEF has been proposed.

Right ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral-to-pulmonary artery systolic pressure ratio: a non-invasive metric of pulmonary arterial compliance differs across the spectrum of pulmonary hypertension. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC), invasively assessed by the ratio of stroke volume to pulmonary arterial (PA) pulse pressure, is a sensitive marker of right ventricular (RV)-PA coupling that differs across the spectrum of pulmonary hypertension (PH ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Granular Hydrogels as Modular Biomaterials: From Structural Design to Biological Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Granular hydrogels are now emerging as promising biomaterials due to their inherent microporousity, injectability, and modularity. They have shown improvements in cell viability and migration, cellular/tissue infiltration, host tissue integration, mitigated foreign body response, and tissue regeneration.

Improving Postdischarge Outcomes in Acute Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The global burden that acute heart failure (AHF) carries has remained unchanged over the past several decades (1). European registries (2–5) showed that 1-year outcome rates remain unacceptably high (Table 1) and confirm that hospitalization for AHF ...
