Strain stiffening universality in composite hydrogels and soft tissues [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Soft biological tissues exhibit a remarkable resilience to large mechanical loads, a property which is associated with the strain stiffening capability of the biopolymer networks that structurally support the tissues. Yet, recent studies have shown that composite systems such as tissues and blood clots exhibit mechanical properties that contradict ...

Microscopic biophysical model of self-organization in tissue due to feedback between cell- and macroscopic-scale forces [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Research 2, 043217 (2020), 2019 We develop a microscopic biophysical model for self-organization and reshaping of artificial tissue, that is co-driven by microscopic active forces between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), and macroscopic forces that develop within the tissue, finding close agreement with experiment.

Tissue Engineering of Skin Regeneration and Hair Growth [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Many people suffering from skin disorders such as chronic wounds, non-healing ulcers, and diabetic ulcers need skin repair and regeneration. Aside from the diseases listed above, the industry needed a skin rejuvenation system and regeneration for cosmetic purposes.

Readout of fluorescence functional signals through highly scattering tissue [PDF]
Nature Photonics (2020), 2019 Fluorescence is a powerful mean to probe information processing in the mammalian brain. However, neuronal tissues are highly heterogeneous and thus opaque to light. A wide set of non-invasive or invasive techniques for scattered light rejection, optical sectioning or localized excitation, have been developed, but non-invasive optical recording of ...

Tumor microenvironment (Part I): Tissue integrity in a rat model of peripheral neural cancer [PDF]
Heliyon, Volume 10, Issue 13, e33932, July 15, 2024ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) and MPZ (myelin protein zero) are thought to be a factor in the integrity of nerve tissues. In this report, we attempted to trace the expression of ICAM-1, responsible for cell-to-cell adhesion, and of MPZ, the main constituent of myelin sheath, in malignant tissues of the sciatic nerve (SN) in inbred male ...

ScarGAN: Chained Generative Adversarial Networks to Simulate Pathological Tissue on Cardiovascular MR Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Medical images with specific pathologies are scarce, but a large amount of data is usually required for a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to achieve good accuracy. We consider the problem of segmenting the left ventricular (LV) myocardium on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scans of which only some of ...

Studying Therapy Effects and Disease Outcomes in Silico using Artificial Counterfactual Tissue Samples [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Understanding the interactions of different cell types inside the immune tumor microenvironment (iTME) is crucial for the development of immunotherapy treatments as well as for predicting their outcomes. Highly multiplexed tissue imaging (HMTI) technologies offer a tool which can capture cell properties of tissue samples by measuring expression of ...

Particle diffusion in extracellular hydrogels [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Hyaluronic acid is an abundant polyelectrolyte in the human body that forms extracellular hydrogels in connective tissues. It is essential for regulating tissue biomechanics and cell-cell communication, yet hyaluronan overexpression is associated with pathological situations such as cancer and multiple sclerosis.
