Scaffold-mediated delivery of a miRNA-29b mimic mitigates excessive extracellular matrix deposition and matrix contraction in wound healing applications

Juan Carlos Palomeque Chávez, Amarachi Erugo, Marko Dobricic…·Fergal J. O’Brien

This paper develops a collagen-GAG scaffold delivering miRNA-29b to reduce fibrosis by inhibiting myofibroblast activation and ECM accumulation in wound healing.

Scaffold-mediated miRNA-155 inhibition promotes regenerative macrophage polarisation leading to anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and neurogenic responses for wound healing

Juan Carlos Palomeque Chávez, Marko Dobricic, Matthew McGrath…·Fergal J. O’Brien

This paper introduces a miRNA-155 inhibitor-activated scaffold that promotes anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and neurogenic responses in chronic wounds through macrophage polarisation and nerve regeneration.

The Nanog epigenetic remodeling complex was essential to vertebrate mesoderm evolution

Luke A. Simpson, Darren Crowley, Teri Forey…·Andrew D. Johnson

The paper shows that NANOG and NODAL interact with DPY30 to regulate H3K4me3 deposition in axolotl primitive ectoderm, conserved in humans, establishing a basal state of vertebrate pluripotency.
