This study evaluates the bioactivity and biointegration of engineered salivary tissue constructs in a rat model of radiation injury.

This study examines the nonlinear rheology of laminin-111-modified hyaluronan hydrogels, finding that laminin concentration affects their mechanical behavior and strain response.

This paper establishes a xeno-free, serum-free protocol for isolating and expanding human salivary stem/progenitor cells suitable for regenerative therapy.

This paper develops APL-MPs to detect heterogeneous colorectal cancer lesions by targeting MUC1 and EPCAM, improving detection sensitivity.

This study investigates SARS-CoV-2 entry into salivary epithelial cells, finding no ACE2 expression and no spike protein binding, suggesting these cells are not major targets for infection via ACE2.

This study develops hyperpolarized silicon particles functionalized with MUC1 antibody for targeted molecular MRI of colorectal cancer, showing active tumor targeting in vivo.

This paper develops and characterizes a low-intensity vibrational bioreactor for microgravity studies on the International Space Station.

This paper develops a computational model of TGF-β-induced ERK and SMAD pathways, showing how ERK can modulate SMAD dynamics and how these changes may contribute to cancer progression.

This study shows that increased mechanical strain is not necessary for MSC response to vibration in bone marrow analogs, as lower bone volume fractions still showed reduced collagen and F-actin despite higher strains.

This study identifies a novel mechanosensory complex in osteocytes involving perlecan and α2δ1 subunit, showing that gabapentin disrupts their interaction and impairs bone mechanosensation.

This study identifies a new role for Twist1 in neural tube development and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cranial neural crest cells, showing its interaction with Irf6 and impact on cytoskeletal remodeling and facial morphology.
