Electrical Stimulation Directs Formation of Perfused Vasculature in Engineered Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrical stimulation (ESTIM) enhances vasculature formation in engineered human tissues. In 3D endothelial‐fibroblast constructs, conditioning with ESTIM promotes the formation of dense and highly branched networks that rapidly anastomose with mouse vasculature when implanted in vivo. Vessels formed under ESTIM are importantly functionally perfusable.

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.

Scalp electroacupuncture targeting trigeminal nerve activation alleviates post‐traumatic stress disorder–induced depression and neuroinflammation in mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Scalp electroacupuncture (SA) through activation of the trigeminal pathway exerts anti‐inflammatory, antidepressant, and anxiolytic effects in an animal model of post‐traumatic stress disorder induced by single prolonged stress. This suggests that SA is involved in neuroinflammation and changes in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor protein through the ...

A novel mouse model of endometriosis: Simulating the recurrent hemorrhagic microenvironment of clinical lesions

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
To address the limitations of existing models, this study innovatively established a mouse model of endometriosis (EMs) capable of mimicking cyclic bleeding. Our results confirmed that this model recapitulates the complete pathological progression from ectopic lesion establishment to systemic responses, exhibiting superior clinical relevance compared ...
