Bioprinted Organoids: An Innovative Engine in Biomedicine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioprinted organoids refer to either the printing of stem cells into tissue shape and subsequent differentiate into organoids, or assembling induced organoids as bioinks to replicate native organ. It enables the creation of miniaturized organs with complex architectures and physiological functions, potentially enhancing reproducibility, throughput, and

Liver-specific expression of ANGPTL8 promotes Alzheimer’s disease progression through activating microglial pyroptosis

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Introduction Liver dysfunction contributes to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis, and evidence suggests that the liver is involved in amyloid β (Aβ) clearance, and regulates Aβ deposition in the brain.

Expression of mRNA for phospholipase A(2), cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases in cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and in biopsies from umbilical arteries and veins [PDF]

, 1998
Arachidonic acid (AA) is released by phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and then converted into vasoactive and inflammatory eicosanoids by cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX).

Leukemic Cells Hijack Stromal Bioelectricity to Reprogram the Bone Marrow Niche via CaV1.2‐Dependent Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Leukemic blasts induce membrane depolarization in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), contributing to a dysfunctional niche that favors leukemia progression. Here, it is demonstrated that restoring the expression of CaV1.2 calcium channel in AML‐MSCs repolarizes their membrane potential, reprogramming them toward a healthy phenotype.

Umbilical Cord Milking: A Review

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
This is a review of umbilical cord milking, a controversial technique where the umbilical cord is squeezed several times before it is clamped an cut. While not physiological or natural for newborns, the question lies as to whether it is useful in certain

Facile Single‐Nanocomposite 4D Bioprinting of Dynamic Hydrogel Constructs with Thickness‐Controlled Gradient

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel and facile thickness‐modulated 4D bioprinting approach using a smart bioink made of gelatin, GelMA, and MXene. Leveraging computational models, it creates living constructs with programmable unidirectional and bidirectional curvatures under a single UV exposure.

GRFS and CRFS in alternative donor hematopoietic cell transplantation for pediatric patients with acute leukemia. [PDF]

, 2019
We report graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) (a composite end point of survival without grade III-IV acute GVHD [aGVHD], systemic therapy-requiring chronic GVHD [cGVHD], or relapse) and cGVHD-free relapse-free survival ...

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.
