This study shows that biomechanical cues like shear stress and mechanical strain influence fibroblast behavior and fibrotic remodeling in a gut-on-a-chip model, with epithelial barriers protecting against damage.

This paper demonstrates that biosponge scaffolds loaded with GDNF enhance neuromuscular junction recovery and muscle function after volumetric muscle loss in rats.

This study shows that Wnt activation in mature dermal adipocytes causes lipodystrophy and skin fibrosis, which can be reversed by stopping Wnt activation.

This study examines how chronic hyperglycemia affects human aortic smooth muscle cells, revealing changes in gene expression, protein levels, and metabolic profiles linked to cardiovascular disease.
