Translation From Mice to Men: Are Dogs a Dodgy Intermediate? [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Medical Journal Hepatology, 2014
Alternatives for liver transplantation in severe liver disease are urgently needed in view of the limited availability of donor livers. The use of embryonic stem cells (ES) or hepatic progenitor cells (HPC) has been investigated in mice models of acute ...

Mathematical modeling supports substantial mouse neural progenitor cell death

open access: yesNeural Development, 2009
Background Existing quantitative models of mouse cerebral cortical development are not fully constrained by experimental data. Results Here, we use simple difference equations to model neural progenitor cell fate decisions, incorporating intermediate ...

Mechanically and Chemically Defined PEG Hydrogels Improve Reproducibility in Human Cardioid Development

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐degradable polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐based hydrogels are developed to investigate the influence of mechanical and biochemical cues on cardioid development. Matrix stiffness and cell adhesion motifs significantly regulate cardioid formation, chamber morphogenesis, contractile function, and cardioid transcriptome.

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Flow Cytometric Determination of Circulating Progenitor Cells in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Systematic Review

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by progressive narrowing and obliteration of distal, pre‐capillary pulmonary vessels. Yet, noninvasive biomarkers that reflect this disease‐defining process are lacking.

The integrin α9β1 on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells: involvement in cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation

open access: yesHaematologica, 2009
Background Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells can interact with their microenvironment via integrins which are adhesion receptors consisting of α and β subunits.

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

Glucocorticoids Alter Bone Microvascular Barrier via MAPK/Connexin43 Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
Osteoporosis induced by Glucocorticoids (GCs) is a common complication of long‐term GC use in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, often leading to an increased fracture risk. A 3D bicellular endo‐osteo microfluidic platform is developed to explore pathogenic mechanisms underlying GCs‐induced osteoporosis, highlighting a novel MAPK ...
