Characterization and Applications of Evoked Responses During Epidural Electrical Stimulation

This paper characterizes evoked responses during epidural electrical stimulation and shows how the ECAP component can detect lead migration and muscle activation.

Extracellular vesicle cargo metabolome changes in response to the mesenchymal stromal cell microenvironment and influences cell quiescence and activation in a human breast cancer cell model

This study shows that MSC-derived extracellular vesicles carry metabolites that maintain breast cancer cell dormancy, and their absence promotes activation under regenerative conditions.

Bioengineered niches that recreate physiological extracellular matrix organisation to support long-term haematopoietic stem cells

This study develops a bioengineered niche that maintains long-term haematopoietic stem cells by recreating physiological extracellular matrix organisation, supporting their survival and function without media supplementation.

Microbial function and genital inflammation in young South African women at high risk of HIV infection

This study uses metaproteomics to link microbial function and inflammation in the female genital tract of South African women at high HIV risk, finding that reduced cell wall organization and peptidoglycan biosynthesis are associated with high inflammation.

Nanotopography reveals metabolites that maintain the immunosuppressive phenotype of mesenchymal stem cells

This study shows nanotopography can control MSC immunomodulatory capacity by modulating intracellular tension and oxidative glycolysis, and identifies bioactive metabolites that influence MSC function.

White Spot Syndrome Virus and the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, Panulirus argus: Susceptibility and Behavioral Immunity

This study assesses the susceptibility of Caribbean spiny lobsters to WSSV and finds they can detect and avoid infected conspecifics, potentially reducing disease spread.
