Article Abstract
The shape of the epithelial monolayer can be depicted as a curved tissue in three-dimensional (3D) space, where individual cells are tightly adhered to one another. The 3D morphogenesis of these tissues is governed by cell dynamics, and a variety of mathematical modeling and simulation studies have been conducted to investigate this process. One promising approach is the cell-center model, which can account for the discreteness of cells. The cell nucleus, which is considered to correspond to the cell center, can be observed experimentally. However, there has been a shortage of cell-center models specifically tailored for simulating 3D monolayer tissue deformation. In this study, we developed a mathematical model based on the cell-center model to simulate 3D monolayer tissue deformation. Our model was confirmed by simulating the in-plane deformation, out-of-plane deformation, and invagination due to apical constriction.

The oral epithelial barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health by protecting against microbial invasion and mechanical stress while regulating selective permeability. Disruption of this barrier contributes to inflammation and the development of oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Pinoresinol, a lignan with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, has demonstrated health benefits in systemic diseases; however, its effects on oral epithelial barrier integrity remain unclear.

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is an early event observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Two characteristics of AD brain and brain vasculature contribute to BBB dysfunction: the accumulation of aggregated amyloid-β protein (Aβ) and an increase in oxidative stress. This work uses a BBB model of primary human brain microvascular endothelial cells to investigate the individual and synergistic influence of both pathogenic Aβ oligomers and oxidative stress on BBB transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER), an indicator of barrier integrity.

Background: Electrospun nanofibers, which are becoming increasingly popular in biomedicine, can directly or indirectly affect the properties and formation of the edothelial layer. This effect can be both toxic and pro-stimulatory. Therefore, in this study, electrospun nanofibers PLCL/PVP composed of biodegradable and biocompatible L-lactide-block--caprolactone copolymer (PLCL, 70:30) blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), containing synthesized PVP different types of nanoparticles - gold (AuNPs), cadmium selenide (CdSe QDs) or tantalum (TaNPs), were investigated.

However, conventional monolayer cell-based preclinical safety evaluation methods based on ISO10993-5 consistently indicate significant cytotoxicity that contradicts outcomes. In this study, we aimed to establish an evaluation model that better correlates with performance.

BackgroundCell-based therapies to regenerate native-like cartilage are limited by the inability to re-express zone-specific molecules. While monolayer-expanded (passaged) chondrocytes are a clinically approved cell source, the resulting tissues have reduced Proteoglycan-4 (PRG4) expression. This may be due to poor attachment, slow proliferation, and dedifferentiation of superficial zone chondrocytes (SZC) on polystyrene.
