This paper presents a method to rapidly form microvessel-like networks using sacrificial alginate structures, enhancing cell survival in restricted environments.

This study shows that shear stress induces a pro-inflammatory phenotype in human monocyte-derived macrophages by altering morphology, gene expression, and cytokine secretion.

This study investigates how shear stress induces fibrosis in endocardial endothelial cells, showing it triggers EndMT signaling and gene expression changes that are more pronounced than Snail1 inhibition.

This paper isolates and characterizes porcine endocardial endothelial cells (EECs), comparing them to HUVECs and highlighting phenotypic differences that emphasize the need for relevant cell lines in cardiovascular disease modeling.

This study shows that substrate stiffness affects the adherence of EAEC bacteria to human intestinal enteroids, with softer hydrogels promoting larger bacterial aggregates.

This paper introduces a co-culture system to study host-microbe interactions under physiological hypoxia using human intestinal enteroids and anaerobic bacteria.
