Utilizing multiscale engineered biomaterials to examine TGF-β-mediated myofibroblastic differentiation
Simpson, A., Krissanaprasit, A., Chester, D., Koehler, C., Labean, T. H., & Brown, A. C. (2024, March 9). WOUND REPAIR AND REGENERATION.
author keywords: biomaterials; DNA origami; fibrosis; mechanotransduction; microgel; TGF-beta
TL;DR:
It is found that highly viscous materials with non-fixed TGF-β-R spacing promoted increased TGF-β signalling and myofibroblastic differentiation, likely due to the ability of cells to better cluster receptors on these surfaces.

Effects of sterilization methods on gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel properties and macrophage gene expression in vitro
BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS, 18(1).
author keywords: gelatin methacryloyl; hydrogel; sterilization; macrophage phenotype; gene expression
MeSH headings : Hydrogels; Macrophages
TL;DR:
It was found that the sterilization methods only marginally altered the hydrogel morphology, swelling behavior and elastic modulus, but significantly impacted macrophage gene expression within 48 h and over 7 d in vitro, suggesting that not only the sterility and hydrogels properties, such as material destruction and degradation caused by temperature and moisture, should be taken into consideration.
