Pulsed vacuum arc deposition of nitrogen-doped diamond-like coatings for long-term hydrophilicity of electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The surface hydrophobicity of poly($\epsilon$-caprolactone) electrospun scaffolds prevents their interactions with cells and tissue integration. Plasma treatment of the scaffolds enhances their hydrophilicity. However, the hydrophobicity of scaffolds is restored in about 30 days.

Fabrication and in vitro characterization of three-dimensional organic/inorganic scaffolds by robocasting [PDF]
J. Biomed. Mater. Res., 83A: 434-445 (2007), 2018 A key issue for the fabrication of scaffolds for tissue engineering is the development of processing techniques flexible enough to produce materials with a wide spectrum of solubility (bioresorption rates) and mechanical properties matching those of calcified tissues.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Simultaneous elastic shape optimization for a domain splitting in bone tissue engineering [PDF]
, 2018 This paper deals with the simulateneous optimization of a subset $\mathcal{O}_0$ of some domain $\Omega$ and its complement $\mathcal{O}_1 = \Omega \setminus \overline{\mathcal{O}}_0$ both considered as separate elastic objects subject to a set of loading scenarios.

A preliminary study of acoustic propagation in thick foam tissue scaffolds composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) [PDF]
J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 269, 012019 (2011), 2010 The exclusive ability of acoustic waves to probe the structural, mechanical and fluidic properties of foams may offer novel approaches to characterise the porous scaffolds employed in tissue engineering. Motivated by this we conduct a preliminary investigation into the acoustic properties of a typical biopolymer and the feasibility of acoustic ...
