Combination Therapy Using Verteporfin and Ranibizumab; Optimizing the Timing in the CAM Model

Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) using verteporfin (Visudyne(R)) with ranibizumab (Lucentis(R)) can optimize the overall treatment outcome by providing more efficacy in vessel closure, and thus reduce the need for retreatment in patients with wet age-r ...

Wound healing gene-family expression differences between fetal and foreskin cells used for bioengineered skin substitutes

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

For tissue engineering, several cell types and tissues have been proposed as starting material. Allogenic skin products available for therapeutic usage are mostly developed with cell culture and with foreskin tissue of young individuals. Fetal skin cells o ...

Solder Doped Polycaprolactone Scaffold Enables Solder Doped Polycaprolactone Scaffold Enables. Reproducible Laser Tissue Soldering

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink

During the last 40 years a focus in research was put on sutureless tissue fusion, to handle the limits of conventional suturing such as vascular wall damage due to the enetrating needle, intraluminal foreign body reactions caused by non-absorbable suture m ...

Myofibroblast communication is controlled by intercellular mechanical coupling

Jean-Jacques Meister, Boris Hinz, Sébastien Schaub, Lysianne Follonier Castella

Neoformation of intercellular adherens junctions accompanies the differentiation of fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts, a key event during development of fibrosis and in wound healing. We have previously shown that intercellular mechanical couplin ...

Drosophila Serpin-28D regulates hemolymph phenoloxidase activity and adult pigmentation

Bruno Lemaitre

In insects the enzyme phenoloxidase (PO) catalyzes melanin deposition at the wound site and around parasitoid eggs. Its proenzyme prophenoloxidase (proPO) is proteolytically cleaved to active phenoloxidase by a cascade consisting of serine proteases and in ...

Wound-healing defect of CD18(-/-) mice due to a decrease in TGF-beta1 and myofibroblast differentiation

Boris Hinz

We studied the mechanisms underlying the severely impaired wound healing associated with human leukocyte-adhesion deficiency syndrome-1 (LAD1) using a murine disease model. In CD18(-/-) mice, healing of full-thickness wounds was severely delayed during gra ...

Tunable PDMS Nanostructured Ssurfaces Through Replication of Nanoscale Topography of Diblock Copolymer Micellar Thin Films

Jürgen Brugger, Sivashankar Krishnamoorthy, Harry Heinzelmann, Raphaël Pugin

This report will focus on creation of nanostructured PDMS surfaces with tunable feature dimensions and periodicities, and the use of these surfaces to study the influence of nanotopography on cell-substrate interactions. The topography on surfaces is known ...

Transgenic mice reveal novel activities of growth hormone in wound repair, angiogenesis, and myofibroblast differentiation

Boris Hinz, Philippe Bugnon

An increasing number of patients are being treated with growth hormone (GH) for the enhancement of body growth but also as an anti-aging strategy. However, the side effects of GH have been poorly defined. In this study we determined the effect of GH on wou ...

Myofibroblast development is characterized by specific cell-cell adherens junctions

Jean-Jacques Meister, Boris Hinz, Philippe Pittet, Josiane Angèle Charlotte Smith-Clerc

Myofibroblasts of wound granulation tissue, in contrast to dermal fibroblasts, join stress fibers at sites of cadherin-type intercellular adherens junctions (AJs). However, the function of myofibroblast AJs, their molecular composition, and the mechanisms ...

Comparison of the wound-activated transformation of caulerpenyne by invasive and noninvasive Caulerpa species of the Mediterranean

Max-Planck-Institut fur Chemische Okologie, Jena, Germany. The invasive green alga, Caulerpa taxifolia, that has spread rapidly after its introduction into the Mediterranean and the North American Pacific, reacts to wounding by transforming its major metab ...
