A compartmentalized joint‐on‐chip (JoC) platform is here developed, modelling the interactions between cartilage and synovium in osteoarthritis (OA). Using independent culture and mechanical/biochemical stimulation, the JoC revealed how inflammation and mechanical damage drive mutual tissue changes.

Life Factors and Melanoma: From the Macroscopic State to the Molecular Mechanism
Melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer, arises from dynamic interactions between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. This review explores how age, gender, obesity, diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, UV exposure, circadian rhythms, and medications influence melanoma risk and progression.

Endorepellin remodels the endothelial transcriptome toward a pro-autophagic and pro-mitophagic gene signature. [PDF]
Regulation of autophagy by proteolytically cleaved fragments of heparan sulfate proteoglycans is a novel and current research focus in tumor biology. Endorepellin is the C-terminal angiostatic fragment of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan and ...

Cationic Peptoids for Systemic In Vivo Cartilage‐Targeting
Systemically‐dosed Cy5‐labeled cationic peptoid probe (NlysO)7 (yellow) binds to the cartilage's glycosaminoglycan content in vivo across the entire body of a neonatal mouse imaged by light sheet fluorescence microscopy, revealing fluorescence uptake in generic cartilage as well as the developing and ossifying bones.

Solving the binding problem: cellular adhesive molecules and their control of the cortical quantum entangled network [PDF]
Quantum entanglement is shown to be the only acceptable physical solution to the binding problem. The biological basis of interneuronal entanglement is described in the frames of the beta-neurexin-neuroligin model developed by Georgiev (2002) and is ...

Physiological pH transitions modulate protein corona dynamics on nanoparticles, altering their cellular uptake and inflammatory responses. Acidic pHs enhance protein adsorption, induce structural changes, and promote cellular uptake. Simultaneously, inflammatory responses are reduced due to altered protein composition, including decreased ...

Control of cell division in the adult brain by heparan sulfates in fractones and vascular basement membranes [PDF]
Regulation of cell division in adult tissues and organs requires the coordination of growth factors at the surface of potentially-dividing cells in specific anatomic loci named germinal niches.
