Development of a 3D bioprinted airway smooth muscle model for manipulating structure and measuring contraction

This paper develops a 3D bioprinted airway smooth muscle model that simulates different mechanical contexts in the lung and demonstrates its ability to measure contraction and respond to stimuli.

Skeletal muscle-derived extracellular vesicles are altered with chronic contractile activity: a dynamic light scattering analysis

This study shows chronic contractile activity reduces the size and zeta potential of skeletal muscle-derived extracellular vesicles using dynamic light scattering.

Oxidised phosphatidylcholines induce multiple functional defects in airway epithelial cells

This study shows oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPC) impair airway epithelial cell function, causing barrier dysfunction, reduced proliferation, and oxidative stress, consistent with asthma pathology.

Development of an in vitro Experimental Model for Investigating the Effect of Matrix Stiffness on Epithelial Barrier Permeability

The paper develops an in vitro model to measure epithelial barrier permeability under varying substrate stiffness and shows that stiffness affects barrier function.
