Chemokines and cytokines produced in gingival tissues exposed to microorganisms and microbial products in dental plaque lead to local inflammation and tissue damage seen in periodontal disease. Bates et al. 2018 [1] reported that hemagglutinin B (HagB)-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) responses of single cell cultures containing dendritic cells, gingival epithelial (GE) keratinocytes, or T cells were significantly different from the MMP responses of these same cells grown in multi-cell cultures. Here we report the concentrations (pg/ml) of HagB-induced IL1α, IL6, IL8, IL12(p40), GM-CSF, MIP1α, MIP1β, RANTES, TNFα, and VEGF produced by dendritic cells, GE keratinocytes, or T cells in single cell cultures, two-cell cultures, or three-cell cultures.

Enhancing the Efficacy of Radiation Therapy by Photochemical Internalization of Fibrin-Hydrogel-Delivered Bleomycin.

Background/objectives: Although the use of radiation-sensitizing agents has been shown to enhance the effect of radiation on tumor cells, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impedes these agents from reaching brain tumor sites when provided systemically. Localized methods of sensitizer delivery, utilizing hydrogels, have the potential to bypass the blood-brain barrier. This study examined the ability of photochemical internalization (PCI) of hydrogel-released bleomycin to enhance the growth-inhibiting effects of radiation on multi-cell glioma spheroids in vitro.

The increasing demand for disease modeling, preclinical drug testing, and long waiting lists for alternative organ substitutes has posed significant challenges to current limitations in organoid technology. Consequently, organoid technology has emerged as a cutting-edge tool capable of accurately recapitulating the complexity of actual organs in physiology and functionality. To bridge the gaps between basic research and pharmaceutical as well as clinical applications, efforts have been made to develop organoids from tissue-derived stem cells or pluripotent stem cells.

Cyclosporin A (CSA) is a potent immunosuppressive agent in pharmacologic studies. However, there is evidence for side effects, specifically regarding vascular dysfunction. Its mode of action inducing endothelial cell toxicity is partially unclear, and a connection with an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) is not established yet.

Department of Pathology, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
Background: Extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) can inhibit TGFβ activation, but its antifibrotic action remains largely unknown. This study aims to investigate ECM1 function and its physical interaction with the profibrotic connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in fibrosis and ductular reaction (DR).
Methods: Ecm1 knockouts or animals that ectopically expressed this gene were subjected to induction of liver fibrosis and DR by feeding 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) or α-naphthyl-isothiocyanate (ANIT).

Tissues and organs contain an extracellular matrix (ECM). In the case of blood vessels, endothelium cells are anchored to a specialized basement membrane (BM) embedded inside the interstitial matrix (IM). We introduce a multi-structural collagen-based scaffold with embedded microchannels that mimics in vivo structures within vessels.
