SAveRUNNER: a network-based algorithm for drug repurposing and its application to COVID-19 [PDF]
The novelty of new human coronavirus COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 and the lack of effective drugs and vaccines gave rise to a wide variety of strategies employed to fight this worldwide pandemic. Many of these strategies rely on the repositioning of existing drugs that could shorten the time and reduce the cost compared to de novo drug discovery. In this study,

Putative Mechanisms Underlying High Inhibitory Activities of Bimodular DNA Aptamers to Thrombin
Nucleic acid aptamers are prospective molecular recognizing elements. Similar to antibodies, aptamers are capable of providing specific recognition due to their spatial structure.

Mathematical modelling indicates that lower activity of the haemostatic system in neonates is primarily due to lower prothrombin concentration [PDF]
Haemostasis is governed by a highly complex system of interacting proteins. Due to the central role of thrombin, thrombin generation and specifically the thrombin generation curve (TGC) is commonly used as an indicator of haemostatic activity. Functional characteristics of the haemostatic system in neonates and children are significantly different ...

Investigating biomechanical determinants of endothelial permeability in a modified hollow fibre bioreactor [PDF]
Effects of mechanical stress on the permeability of vascular endothelium are important to normal physiology and may be critical in the development of atherosclerosis, where they can account for the patchy arterial distribution of the disease. Such properties are frequently investigated in vitro.

Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Flow‐Induced Vascular Remodeling on‐Chip: Implications for Anti‐VEGF Therapy
Flow‐induced vascular remodeling plays a critical role in network stabilization and function. Using a vasculature‐on‐chip system, this study reveals how physiological VEGF levels and flow affect vascular remodeling and provides insights into tumor vessel normalization.
