Using a Supramolecular Approach to Engineer Modular Hydrogel Platforms for Culturing Protoplasts – from General Tissue Engineering to Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

Healthy but not osteoarthritic human meniscus-derived matrix scaffolds promote meniscus repair

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Meniscus tissue is commonly injured due to sports-related injuries and age-related degeneration and approximately 50% of individuals with a meniscus tear will develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

RRP9 Promotes Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Progression through E2F1 Transcriptional Regulation of CDK1

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The study reveals that RRP9 is abnormally highly expressed in ESCC tissues and is closely associated with poor prognosis in patients. Furthermore, it is found that RRP9 promotes ESCC progression through enhancing the E2F1‐mediated transcriptional regulation of CDK1.

Biomimetic Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, 2012
AbstractBiomimetic scaffolds mimic important features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture and can be finely controlled at the nano‐ or microscale for tissue engineering. Rational design of biomimetic scaffolds is based on consideration of the ECM as a natural scaffold; the ECM provides cells with a variety of physical, chemical, and ...

The Effect of Thickness, Build Orientation, and Loading Rate on the Tensile and Compressive Properties of Selective Laser Sintering Polyamide 12 Specimens

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article examines how build orientation, thickness, and loading rate affect the tensile and compressive properties of LS‐manufactured polyamide 12 12 parts. Through over 120 experiments, it reveals strong ductility anisotropy in tension, minimal compressive sensitivity, and significant thickness and strain rate dependencies.
