Progress in Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

This paper sets out to review the current state of the art in applying self-healing/self-repair to high-performing advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials (FRPs). A significant proportion of self-healing studies have focused so far on develop ...

Local induction of lymphangiogenesis with engineered fibrin-binding VEGF-C promotes wound healing by increasing immune cell trafficking and matrix remodeling

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser

Lymphangiogenesis occurs in inflammation and wound healing, yet its functional roles in these processes are not fully understood. Consequently, clinically relevant strategies for therapeutic lymphangiogenesis remain underdeveloped, particularly using growt ...

Group Decisions Influence Emergence and Regulation of Leaders during Collective Migration of Epithelial Cells

Medhavi Vishwakarma

Collective migration is a central event involving coordinated movement of several individuals. One of the critical events during collective migration is the emergence of leading individuals, who provide directional guidance for the group movement. While on ...

Effect of mechanical damage and wound healing on the viscoelastic properties of stems of flax cultivars (Linum usitatissimum L. cv. Eden and cv. Drakkar)

Véronique Michaud, Sara Dalle Vacche, Federica Sordo

As plant fibres are increasingly used in technical textiles and their composites, underlying principles of wound healing in living plant fibres are relevant to product quality, and provide inspiration for biomimetic healing in synthetic materials. In this ...

Therapeutic Proteins Engineered for Super-Affinity to the Extracellular Matrix in Regenerative Medicine

Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Regenerative medicine aims to repair body tissues when natural mechanisms fail. Growth factors (GFs) are essential proteins that promote tissue regeneration upon injury, and as such, are very promising therapeutic drugs in regenerative medicine. Due to the ...

Microsurgery-aided in-situ force probing reveals extensibility and viscoelastic properties of individual stress fibers

Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Chiara Gabella, Benoît Vianay, Céline Jeanne Labouesse

Actin-myosin filament bundles (stress fibers) are critical for tension generation and cell shape, but their mechanical properties are difficult to access. Here we propose a novel approach to probe individual peripheral stress fibers in living cells through ...
