A Triboelectric‐Hydrogel System for Mechano‐Metabolic Re‐Coupling in Skin Expansion: Recharging From Energy Crisis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Progressive skin expansion creates an energy crisis that compromises regenerative capacity. A self‐powered triboelectric‐hydrogel system (TP‐PAM/G) re‐couples mechanical loading with cellular metabolism by combining motion‐generated electrical stimulation and stress redistribution.

Hybrid Biofabrication of a Hierarchically Organized Periosteum‐Inspired In Vitro Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid biofabrication strategy integrates melt electrowriting with extrusion‐based 3D bioprinting to create a hierarchically organized periosteum‐inspired in vitro platform. Spatially defined osteogenic, fibrous, and endothelial cell‐containing compartments support long‐term culture, osteogenic maturation, and CD31+ endothelial cell organization ...

Magnetoactive Hydrogels to Probe Curvature‐Directed Endothelial Cell Mechanosensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a platform to investigate local curvature as a regulator of endothelial mechanosensing independent of shear stress. Magnetoactive hydrogels enable on‐demand curvature of endothelial monolayers to reproduce tortuosity quantified by clinically established metrics.

The relationship between 1,25(OH)D levels and interleukin-32 and vascular endothelial growth factor levels in endometriosis cyst tissue: An original article

SAGE Open Medicine
Background: Endometriosis involves the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, driven by inflammatory pathways including elevated interleukin-32 and vascular endothelial growth factor.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and prostate pathology

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2010
PURPOSE: Previous studies suggest that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) circulating levels might improve identification of patients with prostate cancer but results are conflicting.

Modeling Early Metastatic Progression in Breast Cancer Using a Barrier‐Free, Perfusable Spheroid‐on‐a‐Chip Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐port, barrier‐free microfluidic device for modeling early metastatic progression. A centrally positioned tumor spheroid releases invasive cells that migrate through the surrounding matrix and intravasate into endothelialized lateral channels.

Comparative evaluation of vascular endothelial growth factor-A expression in pre-ovulatory follicular fluid in normogonadotrophic and endometriotic patients undergoing assisted reproductive techniques

Middle East Fertility Society Journal, 2014
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the differential expression of VEGF-A in pre-ovulatory follicular fluid of both normogonadotrophic and endometriotic patients undergoing ICSI and its relation to ICSI outcome.

Bone Organoids Across the Development‐to‐Remodeling Continuum: From Tissue Formation to Functional Competence and Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Mineralization alone does not establish a mature bone organoid. This Review integrates biological foundations, materials design, adaptive remodeling, and translational validation through the development‐to‐remodeling continuum (DRC). By separating biological functions from the evidence supporting them, the framework exposes critical gaps in current ...

Serum levels of angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor in severe refractory asthma

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Airway and vascular remodeling may play a prominent role in the clinical severity of severe refractory asthma (SRA). Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) is an essential mediator of angiogenesis by establishing vascular integrity, whereas angiopoietin-2 ...

Biocompatible Conjugated Electrospinning Nanofibrous Membrane With Self‐Powered Piezoelectric Capacity for Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐powered PCL/gelatin‐PVDF‐TrFE/MXene conjugated electrospun membrane integrates biocompatibility with enhanced piezoelectric responsiveness. Mechanical deformation is converted into localized electrical signals that stimulate wound‐repair cells proliferation and migration, promote angiogenesis and tissue remodeling, and accelerate full‐thickness ...
