Fibrin gels engineered with pro-angiogenic growth factors promote engraftment of pancreatic islets in extrahepatic sites in mice

With a view toward reduction of graft loss, we explored pancreatic islet transplantation within fibrin matrices rendered pro-angiogenic by incorporation of minimal doses of vascular endothelial growth factor-A165 and platelet-derived growth factor-BB prese ...

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 ...

The Nano-Scale Mechanical Properties of the Extracellular Matrix Regulate Dermal Fibroblast Function

Boris Hinz, Jean-Jacques Meister, Josiane Angèle Charlotte Smith-Clerc, Lara Buscemi Estefanell

Changes in the mechanical properties of dermis occur during skin aging or tissue remodeling and affect the activity of resident fibroblasts. With the aim to establish elastic culture substrates that reproduce the variable softness of dermis, we determined ...

Role for MMP-9 in stress-induced downregulation of nectin-3 in hippocampal CA1 and associated behavioural alterations

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti

Chronic stress is a risk factor for the development of psychopathologies characterized by cognitive dysfunction and deregulated social behaviours. Emerging evidence suggests a role for cell adhesion molecules, including nectin-3, in the mechanisms that un ...

3D niche microarrays for systems-level analyses of cell fate

Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Katarzyna Mosiewicz, Samy Gobaa, Andrea Negro, Yuya Okawa

The behaviour of mammalian cells in a tissue is governed by the three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment and involves a dynamic interplay between biochemical and mechanical signals provided by the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell–cell interactions and solub ...

Long-term Intravital Immunofluorescence Imaging of Tissue Matrix Components with Epifluorescence and Two-photon Microscopy

Melody Swartz, Manuel Andreas Fankhauser

Besides being a physical scaffold to maintain tissue morphology, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is actively involved in regulating cell and tissue function during development and organ homeostasis. It does so by acting via biochemical, biomechanical, and b ...

Extracellular matrix components in peripheral nerve repair: how to affect neural cellular response and nerve regeneration?

Stéphanie Lacour

Peripheral nerve injury is a serious problem affecting significantly patients' life. Autografts are the "gold standard" used to repair the injury gap, however, only 50% of patients fully recover from the trauma. Artificial conduits are a valid alternative ...
