The vascular and neuronal networks are structurally complex and highly branched. These networks play an important role in supplying oxygen and sending signals to the tissues and organs in the body. This study proposes procedures to prepare in vitro n...
The environment of underwater salvage is very special, and many factors such as real-time water conditions, the depth of salvage, and the complexity of underwater conditions could greatly affect the smooth progress of the salvage process. How to accu...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a highly metastatic and lethal disease. In PDA, extracellular matrix (ECM) architectures, known as tumor-associated collagen signatures (TACSs), regulate invasion and metastatic spread in both early dissemina...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The dynamic evolution of collagen fibers during wound healing is crucial for assessing repair progression, guiding clinical treatment, and drug screening. Current quantitative methods analyzing collagen spatial patterns (den...
The rapid advancement of implantable biomedical materials necessitates a comprehensive understanding of macrophage interactions to optimize implant immunocompatibility. Macrophages, key immune regulators, exhibit phenotypic plasticity by polarizing i...
Dense connective tissue, including the ligament, tendon, fascia and cornea, is formed by regularly arranged collagen fibres synthesized by fibroblasts (Fbs). The mechanism by which fibre orientation is determined remains unclear. Periodontal ligament...
Electrochemically aligned collagen (ELAC) threads fabricated by the isoelectric focusing (IF) of collagen have previously shown potential in tissue engineering and more recently in the fabrication of biohybrid robot structures. For applications in bi...
