Flexible and highly interconnected, multi-scale patterned chitosan porous membrane produced in situ from mussel shell to accelerate wound healing comments

by Mengqiu (Malcolm) Xing Gurankit Singh
We report a mussel shell-derived membrane with a multiscale ordered structure for wound dressing. As an ideal biologically derived dressing, it should be non-toxic and non-allergenic with an appropriate pore size to remove excess exudates...

Investigating the Role and Mechanisms of Extracellular Vesicle Signalling in Human Cardiac Tissue-on-a-Chip Models comments

by Milica Radisic Karl Wagner
Unlike seasonal coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 has a profound tropism for the heart. Estimates indicate 78 of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience cardiac side effects, with asymptomatic individuals still at risk of viral-induced heart failure, yet the mechanisms and consequences of such effects remain unclear...
