MRI characterization of in vitro clots at 3T and 7T: A technical note

In acute ischemic stroke, the composition of the occlusive clot can be associated with the underlying pathophysiology and the response to treatment. For these reasons, it is important to characterize the clot composition from clinical scans. We examine the ...

Enabling Stroke Theranostics with Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance

Thanh Phong Kevin Lê

The severe social and economic burden of stroke is a strong motivation for the exploration of innovative medical approaches. In this context, magnetic resonance (MR) of hyperpolarized (HP) molecular agents via dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP ...

Bioprinting of Cartilaginous Auricular Constructs Utilizing an Enzymatically Crosslinkable Bioink

Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Philipp Fisch

Bioprinting of functional tissues could overcome tissue shortages and allow a more rapid response for treatments. However, despite recent progress in bioprinting, and its outstanding ability to position cells and biomaterials in a precise 3D manner, its su ...

Long-lasting fibrin matrices ensure stable and functional angiogenesis by highly tunable, sustained delivery of recombinant VEGF(164)

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Veronica Sacchi, Mikaël Martino, Kristen Lorentz, Martin Ehrbar, Elena Groppa

Clinical trials of therapeutic angiogenesis by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene delivery failed to show efficacy. Major challenges include the need to precisely control in vivo distribution of growth factor dose and duration of expression. Re ...

A high-capacity cell macroencapsulation system supporting the long-term survival of genetically engineered allogeneic cells

Patrick Aebischer, Matthias Lütolf, Bernard Schneider, Steffen Cosson, Aurélien Lathuilière

The rapid increase in the number of approved therapeutic proteins, including recombinant antibodies, for diseases necessitating chronic treatments raises the question of the overall costs imposed on healthcare systems. It is therefore important to investig ...

Proteolytic Processing Regulates Placental Growth Factor Activities

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger, Martin Ehrbar, Manuel Koch

Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a critical mediator of blood vessel formation, yet mechanisms of its action and regulation are incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that proteolytic processing regulates the biological activity of PlGF. Specificall ...

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator induces blood-brain barrier breakdown by a matrix metalloproteinase-9-independent pathway after transient focal cerebral ischemia in mouse

Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Jean-Christophe Copin

The role of the inducible matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after ischemic stroke is well accepted. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) is the only approved thrombolytic treatment of ischemic stroke but r ...

Rat bladder muscle regeneration induced by local delivery of an engineered insulin-like growth factor 1 in fibrin gels

Lirong Yang

Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...

Cell-responsive hydrogel for encapsulation of vascular cells

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The in vitro potential of a synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel as a bioactive co-encapsulation system for vascular cells and a small bioactive peptide, thymosin beta 4 (T beta 4), was examined. We ...
