Emerging nanomaterials for novel wound dressings: From metallic nanoparticles and MXene nanosheets to metal-organic frameworks

Gholamreza Faghani, Amir Azarniya • Heliyon (2024)

The growing need for developing reliable and efficient wound dressings has led to recent progress in designing novel materials and formulations for different kinds of wounds caused by traumas, burns, surgeries, and diabetes. In cases of ext...

Roles of Rap1 signaling in tumor cell migration and invasion

Yi-Lei Zhang, Ruo-Chen Wang, Ken Cheng, Brian Z. Ring et al. • Cancer Biology & Medicine (2017)

Ras-associated protein-1 (Rap1), a small GTPase in the Ras-related protein family, is an important regulator of basic cellular functions (e.g., formation and control of cell adhesions and junctions), cellular migration, and polarization. Th...

Identification of functional pathways for regenerative bioactivity of selected renal cells

Wei Sha, Timothy Bertram, Deepak Jain, Cory Brouwer et al. • Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2022)

Abstract Background Selected renal cells (SRC) are in Phase II clinical trials as a kidney-sourced, autologous, tubular epithelial cell-enriched cell-based therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD). In preclinical studies with rodent models ...

Correlating single-molecule rupture mechanics with cell population adhesion by yeast display

Mariana Sá Santos, Haipei Liu, Valentin Schittny, Rosario Vanella et al. • Biophysical Reports (2022)

Here, we present a method based on yeast surface display that allows for direct comparison between population-level cell adhesion strength and single-molecule receptor-ligand rupture mechanics. We developed a high-throughput yeast adhesion ...

The niche-derived glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) induces migration of mouse spermatogonial stem/progenitor cells.

Lisa Dovere, Stefania Fera, Margherita Grasso, Dante Lamberti et al. • PLoS ONE (2013)

In mammals, the biological activity of the stem/progenitor compartment sustains production of mature gametes through spermatogenesis. Spermatogonial stem cells and their progeny belong to the class of undifferentiated spermatogonia, a germ ...

Meta-surface plasmon resonance microscopy for sensitive, high-throughput, and long-term label-free analysis of cell adhesion dynamics

Mingqian Chen, Wen Li, Taoyu Hu, Jiaxiang Chang et al. • Journal of Nanobiotechnology (2025)

Abstract Quantitative, label-free monitoring of dynamic cell adhesion remains challenging. Meta-Surface Plasmon Resonance Microscopy (Meta-SPRM) is a novel platform integrating bright-field microscopy with engineered Meta-SPR nanocup arrays...
