Unraveling cartilage degeneration through synergistic effects of hydrostatic pressure and biomimetic temperature increase

Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo, Vijay Kumar Rana

Cartilage degeneration, typically viewed as an irreversible, vicious cycle, sees a significant reduction in two essential biophysical cues: the well-established hydrostatic pressure (HP) and the recently discovered transient temperature increase. Our study ...

Microcomputed Tomography Technique for In Vivo Three-Dimensional Fat Tissue Volume Evaluation After Polymer Injection

Harm-Anton Klok, Ioana Konz

Tissue engineering technologies are new and promising techniques in fat tissue reconstruction. However, to assess their efficacy before any clinical application, in vivo experiments are mandatory. This study assesses whether microcomputed tomography (CT) s ...

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Paul Jack Mc Laren, Jiancheng Yang, Murielle Bochud, Zhaoming Wang

Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing different numbers of variants in independent studies, we show that th ...

Living-Engineered Valves for Transcatheter Venous Valve Repair

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) represents a major global health problem with increasing prevalence and morbidity. CVI is due to an incompetence of the venous valves, which causes venous reflux and distal venous hypertension. Several studies ...

Intrinsic viscoelasticity increases temperature in knee cartilage under physiological loading

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Metabolism of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid has been shown to be temperature- dependent in cartilage explants, with optimal anabolic effects between 36 1C and 38 1C. At rest, the temperature of human knee has a value of around 33 1C. We aim to show in ...

Improving the osteogenic potential of BMP-2 with hyaluronic acid hydrogel modified with integrin-specific fibronectin fragment

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino

While human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a promising growth factor for bone regeneration, its clinical efficacy has recently shown to be below expectation. In order to improve the clinical translation of rhBMP-2, there exists strong motivation ...

Synthesis of C-linked Disaccharides and Analogues as Biomimetics of the TF Epitope

Maria Kolympadi

Glycoproteins and glycolipids are major components of the outer surface of mammalian cells. Their carbohydrate moieties, which are directed into the outer environment, serve as ligands for receptor proteins, such as lectins, pathogen proteins and antibodie ...

The 2SO Skew-Boat Conformation in L-Iduronic Acid

Kurt Schenk

Crystal clear: After two decades of controversy the elusive skew-boat conformation of L-iduronic acid (see picture) was finally ascertained at atomic resolution in a synthetic, substituted disaccharide. This highly flexible compound crystallizes in two dim ...

Pattern-Based Sensing of Sulfated Glycosaminoglycans with a Dynamic Mixture of Iron Complexes

Kay Severin

A dynamic mixture of iron complexes was used as a colorimetric sensor for sulfated glycosaminoglycans. The sensing ensemble was prepared by mixing [FeCl2(H2O)4] with dipicolylamine, the functionalized bipyridyl ligand N-(6-aminohexyl)-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyri ...

The role of the fluid phase in the viscous response of bovine periodontal ligament

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Marzio Bergomi

The mechanical response of the periodontal ligament (PDL) is complex. This tissue responds as a hyperelastic solid when pulled in tension while demonstrating a viscous behavior under compression. This intricacy is reflected in the tissue's morphology, whic ...
