Interleukin‐1β Stimulates Matrix Metalloproteinase 10 Secretion: A Possible Mechanism in Trophoblast‐Dependent Spiral Artery Remodeling

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 9, 15 May 2025.
Summary of the pathway intermediates involved in the secretion of MMP10 by endothelial cells in response to stimulation with trophoblast conditioned medium and interleukin‐1β. ABSTRACT Maternal uterine spiral arteries (SpA) undergo significant structural changes in early pregnancy, resulting in increased blood flow to the developing fetus.

Biologically‐Inspired Melt Electrowriting for the Generation of Highly Biomimetic Functional Myocardium

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Uterine Natural Killer Cells: A Rising Star in Human Pregnancy Regulation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are an immune subset located in the uterus. uNK cells have distinct tissue-specific characteristics compared to their counterparts in peripheral blood and lymphoid organs.

A possible new approach in the prediction of late gestational hypertension: The role of the fetal aortic intima-media thickness [PDF]

, 2017
The aim was to determine the predictive role of combined screening for late-onset gestational hypertension by fetal ultrasound measurements, third trimester uterine arteries (UtAs) Doppler imaging, and maternal history.

Biohybrid Vascular Graft Made of Textile‐Reinforced Elastin‐Like Recombinamers and Its Preservation via Drying Processes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Clinical translation of biohybrid medical implants requires the previous implementation of drying schemes that can facilitate their sterilization and storage. This study addresses that critical aspect and elucidates the impact of drying on biohybrid vascular grafts, highlighting the need for implant‐specific drying strategies to ensure safety ...

Nonlinear Mechanics of Remodeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
In this paper we present a large-deformation formulation of the mechanics of remodeling. Remodeling is anelasticity with an internal constraint -- material evolutions that are mass and volume preserving. In this special class of material evolutions the explicit time dependence of the energy function is via a remodeling tensor (or a set of remodeling ...

Mouse models for preeclampsia: disruption of redox-regulated signaling [PDF]

, 2009
The concept that oxidative stress contributes to the development of human preeclampsia has never been tested in genetically-defined animal models. Homozygous deletion of catechol-Omethyl transferase (Comt-/-) in pregnant mice leads to human preeclampsia ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Acute Atherosis Lesions at the Fetal-Maternal Border: Current Knowledge and Implications for Maternal Cardiovascular Health

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Decidua basalis, the endometrium of pregnancy, is an important interface between maternal and fetal tissues, made up of both maternal and fetal cells. Acute atherosis is a uteroplacental spiral artery lesion. These patchy arterial wall lesions containing
