A Versatile Microfluidic Extrusion‐Based Hydrogel Platform for Self‐Organization and Long‐Term Maintenance of Engineered 3D Lymphatic Endothelium

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Microfluidic coaxial extrusion generates size‐controlled 3D lymphatic tubes from primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells in a defined four‐component matrix. These engineered vessels self‐organize into stable lymphatic endothelium, maintain selective macromolecular permeability for 30 days, and enable direct comparison with blood endothelial ...

Standardized Effect Measures Informing Next‐Generation Strategies for Mechanical Stimulation in Cartilage Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This systematic review quantitatively compares conventional mechanical stimulation strategies in cartilage tissue engineering across 85 heterogeneous in vitro studies. Applying standardized effect measures, meta‐analysis reveals that combined compression and shear loading optimally promotes cartilage matrix development.

Engineering of Secondary Metabolism

open access: yesAnnual Review of Genetics, 2015
Secondary (specialized) metabolites, produced by bacteria, fungi, plants, and other organisms, exhibit enormous structural variation, and consequently display a wide range of biological activities. Secondary metabolism improves and modulates the phenotype of the host producer.

Biochemistry of Secondary Metabolism in Plants

2023
Through secondary or specialized metabolites plants adapt to their environment. A myriad of different compounds plays a significant role in the plant–environment interaction. These compounds help plants in attracting pollinators or deterring herbivores, in their protection from pathogen microorganisms, or in protection from various abiotic stresses ...

Secondary metabolism in the lichen symbiosis

Chemical Society Reviews, 2018
Lichens, which are defined by a symbiosis between a mycobiont (fungal partner) and a photobiont (photoautotrophic partner), are in fact complex assemblages of microorganisms that constitute a largely untapped source of bioactive secondary metabolites.

Fungal secondary metabolism

Current Biology
Fungi are prolific producers of secondary metabolites, a diverse group of low-molecular-weight compounds that are not directly involved in growth, development, or reproduction but play critical roles when fungi interact with their environment. Secondary metabolites serve a wide array of ecological functions, including defense from abiotic stresses ...

Transcriptional regulation of secondary metabolism

Functional Plant Biology, 2003
Plants produce secondary metabolites during development and in response to environmental stimuli such as light or pathogen attack. Transcriptional regulation provides the most important control point for the secondary metabolic pathways studied to date. In this article we review the data on the transcription factors that modulate this regulation.
