Metabolism of proteoglycans in tendon

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2009
Tendons are dense, fibrous connective tissues that are responsible for transmitting mechanical forces from skeletal muscle to bone. From a clinical perspective, tendinopathy (defined as a syndrome of tendon pain, tenderness and swelling that affects function) is very common, both within the sporting arena and in the workplace.

Perfusable Brain Microvascular Network‐On‐Chip Model to Study Flavivirus NS1‐Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a microfluidic brain microvascular network‐on‐chip (BMVasChip) to investigate endothelial barrier dysfunction caused by flavivirus non‐structural protein 1 (NS1), including virus‐ and time‐dependent vascular damage, leakiness, and dysfunction.

Tendinopathy—from basic science to treatment [PDF]

, 2008
Chronic tendon pathology (tendinopathy), although common, is difficult to treat. Tendons possess a highly organized fibrillar matrix, consisting of type I collagen and various 'minor' collagens, proteoglycans and glycoproteins.

Bioengineering a Patient‐Derived Vascularized Lung Tumor‐on‐Chip Model to Decipher Immunomodulation by the Endothelium

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Most in vitro cancer models lack cellular diversity, functional complexity, and clinical relevance. This work highlights the generation of an innovative dynamic tetraculture with autologous patient‐derived cells within a vascularized tumor‐on‐chip, as well as the recapitulation of endothelial anergy features induced by the tumor microenvironment ...

Healthy but not osteoarthritic human meniscus-derived matrix scaffolds promote meniscus repair

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Meniscus tissue is commonly injured due to sports-related injuries and age-related degeneration and approximately 50% of individuals with a meniscus tear will develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

3D‐Printed Scaffolds Promote Enhanced Spinal Organoid Formation for Use in Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed organoid scaffolds with microscale channels are developed to enhance spinal cord injury recovery by guiding region‐specific spinal neural progenitor cells. These scaffolds promote axonal growth, cell maturation, and neuronal network formation.
