TL;DR: The results support the view that exaggerated VGCC functionality from 2D cultured SCG cells is possibly due to differences in membrane architecture, characterized by uniquely organized caveolar lipid rafts, and the practical implication of use of 3D-cultured cells in preclinical drug discovery studies would be more effective in eliminating false positive hits and as such improve the overall yield from screening campaigns.

Exploring cellular adhesion and differentiation in a micro-/nano-hybrid polymer scaffold

Biotechnology Progress, 26(3), 838–846.

By: K. Cheng^* & W. Kisaalita ^*

author keywords: tissue engineering; scaffold; stem cell; micro-/nano-fabrication; adhesion

MeSH headings : Cell Adhesion; Cell Differentiation; Cells, Cultured; Fibroblasts / cytology; Humans; Materials Testing; Microscopy, Electron, Scanning; Microscopy, Fluorescence; Nanostructures / chemistry; Nanostructures / ultrastructure; Neurons / cytology; Porosity; Shear Strength; Stem Cells / cytology; Tissue Engineering / methods; Tissue Scaffolds / chemistry

TL;DR: This study represents a systematic comparison of cellular activities on micro‐only, nano‐only and micro/nano combined scaffolds, and demonstrates the unique advantages of the later. (via Semantic Scholar)

Heart to Heart

Circulation, 121(18), 1981–1984.

By: E. Marbán & K. Cheng^*

author keywords: Editorials; heart; regenerative medicine; stem cells

MeSH headings : Bone Marrow Cells / cytology; Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation; Humans; Myocardial Ischemia / therapy; Myocytes, Cardiac / cytology; Regeneration

TL;DR: In conclusion, injection of autologous BMCs as adjunctive treatment for convalescent myocardial infarction has proven to be remarkably safe and the overall efficacy is modest, but certain subgroups do experience clinically meaningful increments in ejection fraction. (via Semantic Scholar)
