Cell Mechanics Regulates the Dynamic Anisotropic Remodeling of Fibril Matrix at Large Scale.

Research (Wash D C)

November 2023

Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences, School of Medical and Health Engineering and School of Pharmacy, Changzhou University, Changzhou, 213164, China.

Living tissues often have anisotropic and heterogeneous organizations, in which developmental processes are coordinated by cells and extracellular matrix modeling. Cells have the capability of modeling matrix in long distance; however, the biophysical mechanism is largely unknown. We investigated the dynamic remodeling of collagen I (COL) fibril matrix by cell contraction with designed patterns of cell clusters.

Objective: Pregnancies with large-for-gestational-age (LGA) fetuses are associated with increased risks of various adverse perinatal outcomes. While existing research primarily focuses on term neonates, less is known about preterm neonates. This study aims to explore the risks of adverse maternal and neonatal perinatal outcomes associated with LGA in term neonates and neonates with different degrees of prematurity, compared to appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) neonates.
