Elastin is an essential protein found in a variety of tissues where resilience and flexibility are needed, such as the skin and the heart. When aiming to engineer suitable implants, elastic fibres are needed to allow adequate tissue renewal. However, the
As shown in Fig.2a, the term mechanical interlocking refers to how adhesive hydrogels infiltrate pores and irregularities on tissue surfaces. It relates to the microscopic roughness of the tissue surface [47]. Getting suitable tissue adhesion through mechanical interlocking in healthy cartilage tissue i...

Alternatively, healthy valves can be induced using osteogenic medium. VICs and VECs are more common cell types used for in vitro CAVD modeling. These cells, isolated from healthy animals or differentiated from hiPSCs, are then treated with osteogenic or myofibrotic medium to mimic the ...
Berries and Cherries: Especially the dark versions these are a rich source of anthocyanins, and other flavonoids that boost memory function. The super berry, blueberries, may be particularly healthy for your brain as they may reduce the effect of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease...

Other acellular components of the tumor stroma, soluble cytokines and chemokines, are also central mediators of tumor–stroma crosstalk and are often described as GEM resistance modulators (Table 1). Connective tissue growth factor is overexpressed in PDAC and is currently a target for new therapies...
