Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D bone scaffold with osteogenic properties and capable of hardening in vivo is developed. The scaffold is implanted in a ductile state, and a phase transformation of the ceramic induces the stiffening and strengthening of the scaffold in vivo. Abstract Calcium phosphate 3D printing has revolutionized customized bone grafting.

Proteoglycans involved in bidirectional communication between mast cells and hippocampal neurons
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019 Background Mast cells (MCs) in the brain can respond to environmental cues and relay signals to neurons that may directly influence neuronal electrical activity, calcium signaling, and neurotransmission.

Self-diffusion of polymers in cartilage as studied by pulsed field gradient NMR [PDF]
, 2002 Pulsed field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to investigate the self-diffusion behaviour of polymers in cartilage. Polyethylene glycol and dextran with different molecular weights and in different concentrations were used as ...

Healthy but not osteoarthritic human meniscus-derived matrix scaffolds promote meniscus repair
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyMeniscus 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).

Heparinase selectively sheds heparan sulphate from the endothelial glycocalyx [PDF]
, 2008 A healthy vascular endothelium is coated by the endothelial glycocalyx. Its main constituents are transmembrane syndecans and bound heparan sulphates. This structure maintains the physiological endothelial permeability barrier and prevents leukocyte and ...
