AI Image Analysis and Other Emergent Technologies to Support Adipose Tissue Studies
The study highlights the growing interest in adipose tissue as an endocrine organ and its role in conditions like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Advanced technologies such as 3D cell cultures and Organ-on-a-Chip models are improving in vitro...
Glycosaminoglycans Modulate the Angiogenic Ability of Type I Collagen-Based Scaffolds by Acting on Vascular Network Remodeling and Maturation
The study explores how glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) influence the angiogenic properties of type I collagen-based scaffolds. Researchers incorporated GAGs into collagen scaffolds and used the IKOSA CAM Assay and Network Formation Assay to evaluate vascular network...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Based Analysis of In Vivo Polymers and Collagen Scaffolds Inducing Vascularization
The study evaluates the vascularization potential of two collagen-based scaffolds (2D and 3D structures) and a non-collagen scaffold implanted on the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). The researchers utilized classical stereomicroscopic imaging enhanced...
Analysis of Osteosarcoma Cell Lines and Patient Tissue Using a 3D In Vivo Tumor Model—Possible Effects of Punicalagin
In this study, researchers investigated the potential of punicalagin as a supplementary treatment for osteosarcomas, the most prevalent primary malignant bone tumors affecting children, adolescents, and young adults. Despite current therapies like surgery and...
AI-Enhanced Blood Cell Recognition and Analysis: Advancing Traditional Microscopy with the Web-Based Platform IKOSA
Traditional pathology utilizes stained blood smears viewed through microscopy, a technique still prevalent despite technological advancements. Typically, manual human assessment accompanies automated methods, maintaining simplicity but lacking comprehensive cell...
Development and Characterization of a Novel Neuropilin-2 Antibody for Immunohistochemical Staining of Cancer and Sarcoidosis Tissue Samples
A new antibody has been developed to target Neuropilin-2 (NRP2), a receptor involved in processes like lymphangiogenesis, cancer, and inflammation. This antibody, unlike existing ones, is specifically designed for companion diagnostics. Tests using various methods...
Isolation and Characterization of ZK002, a Novel Dual Function Snake Venom Protein from Deinagkistrodon Acutus with Anti-Angiogenic and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
ZK002 is a novel protein isolated from the venom of the snake Deinagkistrodon acutus. It has been shown to have both anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory activities in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Mechanistically, ZK002 inhibits activation of VEGF signaling and...
A Sustainable, Green-Processed, Ag-Nanoparticle-Incorporated Eggshell-Derived Biomaterial for Wound-Healing Applications
Eggshell membrane (ESM) incorporated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was developed as a promising wound-dressing material with enhanced antimicrobial, biological, and physical properties. Green-synthesized AgNPs displayed greater antimicrobial efficacy and stability...
