Microenvironmental Reprogramming by 3D Anisotropic Cardiac Extracellular Matrix Induces Nuclear Remodeling and Epigenetic Maturation of Chemically Induced Cardiomyocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

The effect of serum, glucocorticoids, gender and gestational age on the inactivation, synthesis and secretion of surfactant phospholipids by cultured foetal rat type II pneumocytes

, 2010
Type II pneumocytes are responsible for the synthesis and secretion of pulmonary surfactant, which lines the alveoli of the lungs. Its presence as a monolayer at the airliquid interface in the alveoli diminishes surface tension, thus reducing the ...

Mechanoluminescent HOF Nanotransducers Enabled Sono‐Optogenetics in Parkinsonian Rats

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a mechanoluminescent system utilizing porous hydrogen‐bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) as a toolkit for focused ultrasound‐triggered, non‐invasive light delivery to the deep brain in rats. This approach enables the specific activation of PV‐GPe neurons in dopamine‐depleted Parkinson's disease rat models, resulting in a comparable alleviation

Serum uric acid and albumin levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate: Oxidative stress considerations

, 2012
Uric acid has both antioxidant and oxidant properties, is excreted by the kidney and is associated with development of kidney disease. Albumin, another antioxidant is also excreted by the kidney in some renal diseases.

Microfabricated Anisotropic Myobundles for the Scalable Production of Cardiac Tissue Grafts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling the anisotropy of cardiac tissue remains an outstanding challenge in the field of cardiac tissue engineering. Here, we introduce an approach to generate anisotropic cardiac myobundles using cell‐adhesive, synthetic, electrospun fibers and stem cell‐derived cardiac fibroblasts.
