Extracellular Vesicles in Cardiac Regeneration: Potential Applications for Tissues-on-a-Chip

Trends in Biotechnology, 2021
Strategies to regenerate cardiac tissue postinjury are limited and heart transplantation remains the only 'cure' for a failing heart. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-bound cell secretions important in intercellular signaling, have been shown to play a crucial role in regulating heart function.

·Reconstituting Organ-Level Periodontal Soft Tissue on a Chip

2021 21st International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (Transducers), 2021
Periodontitis, as the most common chronic inflammatory disease which causes oral dysfunction, is also closely related to atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, ischemic stroke and other small vessel brain diseases. Now, we describe a biomimetic microsystem that reconstitutes the critical functional epithelium-capillary interface of the human Periodontal

Blood brain barrier: A tissue engineered microfluidic chip

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2020
With the increasing concern of neurological diseases, the improvised therapy for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease is crucial. Yet, the efficacious delivery of drug across blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains a formidable challenge. BBB acts as a gate keeper to prevent the ingress of harmful foreign agents into the brain.

Musculoskeletal tissues-on-a-chip: role of natural polymers in reproducing tissue-specific microenvironments

Biofabrication, 2022
Abstract Over the past years, 3D in vitro models have been widely employed in the regenerative medicine field. Among them, organ-on-a-chip technology has the potential to elucidate cellular mechanism exploiting multichannel microfluidic devices to establish 3D co-culture ...

Molecular dynamics of orientation controlled muscle tissue on a chip

2015 International Symposium on Micro-NanoMechatronics and Human Science (MHS), 2015
In this paper, we clarify the relationship between myoblast orientation and myogenesis by pattering myoblasts and analyzing gene expression of self-assembling muscle tissue over time. Previous studies have shown that it is possible to pattern muscle cells by culturing cells on chemically or physically patterned surfaces.

Comprehensive analysis of DNA-methylation in mammalian tissues using MeDIP-chip

Methods, 2011
Genome-wide mapping of epigenetic changes is essential for understanding the mechanisms involved in gene regulation during cell differentiation and embryonic development. DNA-methylation is one of these key epigenetic marks that is directly linked to gene expression is.

Engineering anisotropic human stem cell-derived three-dimensional cardiac tissue on-a-chip

Biomaterials, 2020
Despite significant efforts in the study of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), they persist as the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Considerable research into human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) has highlighted their immense potential in the development of in vitro human cardiac tissues for broad mechanistic, therapeutic ...
