Interpenetrating Polymer Network Hydrogel Composition Alters Encapsulated MSC Spreading and In Vivo Degradation Behavior
AbstractAn interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel was developed for the three-dimensional (3D) culture of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) with the aim of independently controlling cell spreading and material modulus. Based on our previous studies, we formulated a semisynthetic material composed of two networks: a covalent network of poly(ethylene glycol)

Rheological Assessment for Determining Form Stability of Wound Dressings
AbstractThe classification of wound care products as form-stable dressings remains challenging due to the lack of objective and quantitative, material-science-based criteria. This study introduces a rheological testing framework to determine form stability of wound dressing materials. Using dynamic, oscillatory shear rheology, we evaluated the viscoelastic properties and

Three-dimensional cellular construct with impregnated silicon nanowires for intracellular optoelectronic biointerface
AbstractThree-dimensional tissue models are considered a more comprehensive replica of the in vivo microenvironment than their traditional monolayer counterparts. Therefore, tissue engineering methods have the potential to revolutionize biomedical research by allowing researchers to shift away from animal models while improving model relevance. However, while state-of-the-art

Computational insights on drug effect on intrinsic stochasticity of mouse pacemaker cell activity
AbstractIn sinoatrial node cells (SANC), stochastic Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) interacts with membrane channels, inducing their stochastic opening and closing, leading to inter-beat interval (IBI) variability (BIV). Additionally, stochastic neurotransmitter release activates cAMP/PKA signaling, influencing membrane channels and SR proteins, further

Physics-Informed Generative Model for 3D Localization Microscopy
AbstractLocalization microscopy techniques have overcome the diffraction limit, enabling nanoscale biological imaging by precisely determining the positions of individual emitters. However, the performance of deep learning methods commonly applied to these tasks often depends significantly on the quality of training data, typically generated through simulation. Creating

Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Glucose Regulation by GLUT4-Overexpressing Engineered Muscle Tissue in T2D Mice
AbstractType 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by impaired glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissues, which contributes to systemic hyperglycemia. GLUT4 is a crucial component in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and its expression as well as translocation are impaired in T2D onset. This study explored the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from

Licking Microstructure Behavior Classifies a Spectrum of Emotional States in Mice
AbstractMeasuring precise emotional tagging for taste information, with or without the use of words, is challenging. While affective taste valence and salience are core components of emotional experiences, traditional behavioral assays for taste preference, which often rely on cumulative consumption, lack the resolution to distinguish between different affective states, such
