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...

Injectable Macroporous Hydrogels using Perfluorcarbon Emulsions as Porogens comments

by Todd Hoare Samaneh Toufanian
Injectable hydrogels that can be delivered using needles offer particular advantages in biomedical applications given that these hydrogels do not require invasive surgical implantation, thereby reducing recovery time for patients, reducing costs, and in many cases enabling direct encapsulation, rather than post-encapsulation, of cells during the gel formation process 1 ...
