The degeneration or loss of skeletal muscles, which can be caused by traumatic injury or disease, impacts most aspects of human activity. Among various techniques reported to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue, controlling the external cellular environment has been proven effective in guiding muscle differentiation. In this study, we report a nano-sized graphene oxide (sGO)-modified nanopillars on microgroove hybrid polymer array (NMPA) that effectively controls skeletal muscle cell differentiation.

Controlling the adhesion of mammalian cells at the interface between materials and biological environments is a real challenge when designing materials for tissue engineering applications. The surface properties of implanted materials are known to have a significant impact on cell adhesion. Herein, two types of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) hydrogel membrane based on marine-derived polysaccharides of chitosan (CHI) and alginate (ALG) biopolymers were fabricated by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique using simple approach involving the change in assemble sequence of chitosan with different degree of deacetylation (DD).

A vaccine targeting Plasmodium vivax signifies an additional necessary tool when considering the malaria elimination/eradication goal. In this study, in vivo immunological evaluation of two novel engineered proteins of P. vivax circumsporozoite (PvCS127 and PvCS712) with two different arrangements of the repeat sequences of VK210 and VK247 was assessed.
