Parallel 3D Bioprinting on SLIPS‐Microarrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces the first truly parallel 3D bioprinting method, enabling both the simultaneous fabrication of hundreds of cell laden hydrogel 3D structures and their HTS in individual liquid compartments. By integrating Digital Light Processing (DLP) stereolithography with functional micropatterns, the platform decouples printing time from array ...

Serum and urinary transforming growth factor beta 1 as biochemical markers in diabetic nephropathy patients

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2014
Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is considered to be one of the major cytokines involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation.

TGF-beta 1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and therapeutic intervention in diabetic nephropathy [PDF]

, 2010
Background/Aims: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal cell transformation (EMT) is the trans-differentiation of tubular epithelial cells into myofibroblasts, an event underlying progressive chronic kidney disease in diabetes, resulting in fibrosis.

LncRNA PlncRNA-1 participates in rheumatoid arthritis by regulating transforming growth factor β1

Autoimmunity, 2020
LncRNA PlncRNA-1(PlncRNA-1) participates in breast cancer by upregulating TGF-β1. It is known that TGF-β1 plays an inhibitory role in the inflammatory responses in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, PlncRNA-1 may also participate in RA.

Active Learning‐Accelerated Discovery of Fibrous Hydrogels with Tissue‐Mimetic Viscoelasticity

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Active learning accelerates the design of fibrous hydrogels that mimic the viscoelasticity of native tissues. By integrating multi‐objective optimization and closed‐loop experimentation, this approach efficiently identifies optimal formulations from thousands of possibilities and decouples elasticity and viscosity. The resulting hydrogels offer tunable

High glucose up-regulates ENaC and SGK1 expression in HCD-cells [PDF]

, 2006
Background/Aim: Diabetic nephropathy is associated with progressive renal damage, leading to impaired function and end-stage renal failure. Secondary hypertension stems from a deranged ability of cells within the kidney to resolve and appropriately ...

Effect of Efonidipine on TGF-β1–Induced Cardiac Fibrosis Through Smad2-Dependent Pathway in Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) plays a critical role in progression of cardiac fibrosis, which may involve intracellular calcium change. We examined effects of efonidipine, a dual T-type and L-type calcium channel blocker (CCB), on TGF-β1 ...
