Medical meshes are used as structural reinforcement both in clinical surgery and tissue engineering. However, complex loading conditions often found in such applications result in a non-homogenous stress distribution, for which the uniform reinforcement provided by the meshes is not optimal. This study aims to design a textile reinforcement with a spatially heterogeneous, load-tailored fiber architecture.

Article Synopsis
  • * A meta-analysis of gene expression data from 561 human prostate tissue samples revealed significant transcriptional changes between ERG rearrangement-positive and negative cancers, and these findings were supported by independent validation studies.
  • * The study highlights the role of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in enhancing glucose uptake in ERG rearrangement-associated prostate cancer, suggesting that metabolic changes might contribute to the selective pressure for these gene rearrangements.
