Real-Time Pleural Elastography: Potential Usefulness in Nonintubated Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery
Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021 Pleural adhesions are a major challenge in standard and nonintubated video-assisted thoracic surgery. The currently available imaging techniques help to assess the presence and extent of pleural adhesions, but do not provide information on tissue ...

Reversal of aging-induced increases in aortic stiffness by targeting cytoskeletal protein-protein interfaces [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The proximal aorta normally functions as a critical shock absorber that protects small downstream vessels from damage by pressure and flow pulsatility generated by the heart during systole.

Investigation of the limits of nanoscale filopodial interactions [PDF]
, 2014 Mesenchymal stem cells are sensitive to changes in feature height, order and spacing. We had previously noted that there was an inverse relationship between osteoinductive potential and feature height on 15-, 55- and 90 nm-high titania nanopillars, with ...

Apical Cell-Cell Adhesions Reconcile Symmetry and Asymmetry in Zebrafish Neurulation
iScience, 2018 Summary: The symmetric tissue and body plans of animals are paradoxically constructed with asymmetric cells. To understand how the yin-yang duality of symmetry and asymmetry are reconciled, we asked whether apical polarity proteins orchestrate the ...

Experimental evaluation of intra-abdominal adhesions comparing two different intraperitoneal meshes and the effect of a natural anti-inflammatory product on their formation [PDF]
Acta Cirúrgica Brasileira, 2021 Purpose: In laparoscopic incisional hernia repair, meshes with a tissue-separating barrier are positioned intraperitoneally. Despite this property, the close contact between mesh and viscera involves a risk of adhesion formation.

Battling adhesions: from understanding to prevention
BMC Biomedical Engineering, 2019 Adhesions represent a major burden in clinical practice, particularly following abdominal, intrauterine, pericardial and tendon surgical procedures. Adhesions are initiated by a disruption in the epithelial or mesothelial layer of tissue, which leads to ...

Understanding the interplay between cell force and cell adhesion processes
Engineered Regeneration, 2023 Cells, wrapped among their neighbors and surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), form cell-cell adhesions and cell-ECM adhesions. Extracellular biophysical cues exert a far-reaching influence on a sweeping of cell behaviors, including signal transduction,
