Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

Role of smooth muscle cells in vascular calcification: implications in atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2018
Vascular calcification is associated with a significant increase in all-cause mortality and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Calcification has been determined to be an active process driven in part by vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC ...

Vascular Muscle Series Elastic Element Stiffness during Isometric Contraction [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 1974
Series elastic element stiffness was studied during isometric muscle contraction in cylindrical segments of dog common carotid artery. These vessel segments were mounted in vitro and restored to in situ length. Vessel diameter was constantly monitored with a linear displacement transducer.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

TARGETING VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELL TO IMPROVE ARTERIAL STIFFNESS

open access: yesArtery Research, 2017
Hypertension and arterial aging engage a plethora of key signaling pathways that act in concert to induce vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic changes leading to vascular degeneration and extracellular matrix (ECM) changes responsible for ...

Coagulative Granular Hydrogels with an Enzyme Catalyzed Fibrin Network for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...

Advances in Vascular Stiffness: Part II

open access: yes
The assessment of vascular stiffness is gaining significance in cardiovascular research due to the need to analyze the properties of the arterial system and perform clinical evaluations of patients. Ongoing research seeks to resolve technical and methodological challenges in measuring arterial stiffness, aiming to enhance its reliability and clinical ...

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,
