First Advanced Bilayer Scaffolds for Tailored Skin Tissue Engineering Produced via Electrospinning and Melt Electrowriting

Biranche Tandon

In vitro skin models are validated methods for screening cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, but still have limitations. The bilayer poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffold/membrane model described here overcomes some of these deficits by integrating a solution ele ...

Rheological Properties of Ionically Crosslinked Viscoelastic 2D Films vs. Corresponding 3D Bulk Hydrogels

Esther Amstad, Gaia De Angelis

Ionically crosslinked hydrogels containing metal coordination motifs have piqued the interest of researchers in recent decades due to their self-healing and adhesive properties. In particular, catechol-functionalized bulk hydrogels have received a lot of a ...

The heparin binding domain of von Willebrand factor binds to growth factors and promotes angiogenesis in wound healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Matthias Lütolf, Yoji Tabata

During wound healing, the distribution, availability, and signaling of growth factors (GFs) are orchestrated by their binding to extracellular matrix components in the wound microenvironment. Extracellular matrix proteins have been shown to modulate angiog ...

Extracellular Matrix-Inspired Growth Factor Delivery Systems for Skin Wound Healing

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Significance: Growth factors are very promising molecules for the treatment of skin wounds. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems may derive from the fa ...

Heparin-binding domain of fibrin(ogen) binds growth factors and promotes tissue repair when incorporated within a synthetic matrix

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

By binding growth factors (GFs), the ECM tightly regulates their activity. We recently reported that the heparin-binding domain II of fibronectin acts as a promiscuous high-affinity GF-binding domain. Here we hypothesized that fibrin, the provisional ECM d ...

Proteolytic Processing Regulates Placental Growth Factor Activities

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger

Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a critical mediator of blood vessel formation, yet mechanisms of its action and regulation are incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that proteolytic processing regulates the biological activity of PlGF. Specificall ...

Engineering of Signaling Microenvironments with Fibronectin Domains to Enhance Tissue Regeneration

Conducting tissue healing and regeneration through biomaterials and morphogens is still an unrealized goal. Understand the multiple roles of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is indeed essential for the design of successful regenerative medicine strategies. D ...

Myofibroblasts work best under stress

Boris Hinz

Myofibroblasts are reparative connective tissue cells that contribute to the reconstruction of injured tissue by secreting new extracellular matrix and by exerting high contractile force. Deregulation of these activities results in tissue contracture and d ...
