Reciprocal cell-ECM dynamics generate supracellular fluidity underlying spontaneous follicle patterning

Karl H. Palmquist et al.

Summary: During vertebrate embryogenesis, cell collectives engage in coordinated behavior to form tissue structures of increasing complexity. The initiation of follicle patterning in avian skin is initiated by the mechanical rearrangement of extracellular matrix (ECM) by contractile cells, which further aligns the cells and transforms them into a continuum with coherent, long-range order. This ordered cell-ECM layer behaves as an active contractile fluid and spontaneously forms regular patterns, illustrating the role of mesenchymal dynamics in generating cell-level ordering and tissue-level patterning.

Ocular Barriers and Their Influence on Gene Therapy Products Delivery

Bastien Leclercq et al.

Summary: The eye is composed of tissues and cavities that are regulated to maintain their optical properties and functions. Specialized junctions between cells control the passage of drugs, while specific transporters regulate the movement of water, ions, and macromolecules. Ocular barriers limit the bioavailability of gene therapy products, but also allow for local treatment with minimal systemic side-effects. Understanding these barriers is essential for the development of efficient gene delivery systems.

Preparation and Properties of Double-Crosslinked Hydroxyapatite Composite Hydrogels

Benbo Zhao et al.

Summary: This study designed hydroxyapatite-enhanced photo-oxidized double-crosslinked hydrogels, which showed improved mechanical properties, anti-degradation properties, and reduced swelling properties. The introduction of hydroxyapatite greatly improved the mechanical properties of hydrogels without changing their stability and crosslinking network structure. These hydrogels have potential applications in tissue engineering scaffolds.

Injury-mediated stiffening persistently activates muscle stem cells through YAP and TAZ mechanotransduction

Jason S. Silver et al.

Summary: Elevated muscle stiffness enhances migration and proliferation of MuSCs by localizing YAP and TAZ to the nucleus. Ablating YAP and TAZ induces MuSC quiescence after injury and prevents myofiber hypertrophy.

Tissue-specific parameters for the design of ECM-mimetic biomaterials

Olivia R. Tonti et al.

Summary: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucial for directing cell behavior and maintaining tissue function. While advancements in technology allow for better in vitro modeling of tissue properties, tissue-specific variations in ECM composition are often overlooked. This review highlights the importance of considering the complexity of ECM in different tissues to better emulate human pathologies in in vitro models.

Recent Progress in Cartilage Lubrication

Weifeng Lin et al.

Summary: Healthy articular cartilage has very low friction coefficients, which help reduce wear and tear and cartilage degradation, maintaining the balance of chondrocyte functions. Investigating the origins of low friction in articular cartilage is crucial for alleviating disease symptoms and slowing or reversing the degradation process. Recent studies have focused on the mechanisms of joint lubrication and the development of natural and bio-inspired lubricants.

Non-Toxic Crosslinking of Electrospun Gelatin Nanofibers for Tissue Engineering and Biomedicine-A Review

Andrea Ehrmann

Summary: Electrospinning is a versatile method for preparing nanofiber mats from various polymers, including biopolymers, which have important applications in biotechnology and biomedicine. Some biopolymers are water-soluble and require crosslinking after electrospinning. This study focuses on non-toxic or low-toxic crosslinking methods, as well as blending gelatin with non-water soluble polymers to produce water-insoluble nanofibers.
