Article Abstract
Background In adhesive dentistry, creating a long-lasting bond between resin composite and dentin is crucial. The durability of this bond dramatically depends on the structural integrity of collagen fibrils present in the hybrid layer. However, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can degrade collagen fibrils, compromising the bond's longevity. Aim The objective is to evaluate the potential effectiveness of natural extracts from and in preventing collagen degradation caused by MMPs. Material and methods The phenol and flavonoid content of the extracts were evaluated. Dentin beams were demineralized and pre-treated with 1% or 5% , 1% or 5% , or 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) (five minutes), with untreated beams as control. Beams were incubated in calcium- and zinc-containing media (CM) at pH 7.2 and 37°C for one, 10, 20, and 30 days, and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) release (collagen telopeptide) was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit after 30 days. Results Data were analyzed with a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). All test groups showed a different dry mass loss. The control group had the highest loss, followed by CHX, with the least loss in the 5% and groups. ICTP release ranged from 1.781 ± 0.319 to 3.146 ± 0.684, with 5% showing the most negligible release. Conclusion The group that received 5% exhibited the most effective reduction in collagen degradation compared to all the other groups.

The success of immune checkpoint inhibitors is limited by multiple factors, including poor T cell infiltration and function within tumors, partly due to a dense extracellular matrix (ECM). Here, we investigate modulating the ECM by targeting integrin α5β1, a major fibronectin-binding and organizing integrin, to improve immunotherapy outcomes. Use of a function-blocking murinized α5β1 antibody reduces fibronectin fibril formation, enhances CD8 T cell transendothelial migration, increases vascular permeability, and decreases vessel-associated collagen.

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.

Chemical imaging holds great promise for chemical, materials, and biological applications. However, its contrast often relies on subtle spectral differences arising from molecular-level changes. Here, we introduce label-free chemical imaging based on bond-specific coherent interference, which is highly sensitive to nanoscopic structural variations in collagen fibers.

Breast, prostate and lung cancer cells frequently metastasize to bone, leading to disruption of the bone microstructure. This study utilized mechanical testing with micro-CT imaging, digital volume correlation (DVC), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanomechanical testing to examine the mechanical property variations in mouse long bones (tibia) with metastatic lung cancer cell involvement, spanning from the whole-bone scale to the microstructural level. In addition, we also investigated how metastatic invasion alters the morphology of hydroxyapatite nanocrystals in bone at the nanometer scale.

Purpose: To develop an in vitro model that mimics aspects of corneal healing in humans for uncovering key mechanisms involved in the mechanisms involved in the healing and scarring processes.
Methods: As part of the healing matrix, TGF-β1-induced and corneal-derived myofibroblasts were cultured in fibrin hydrogels with configurations that recapitulate the healthy (aligned) and wounded (random) microenvironment of the cornea.
Results: Evaluation of cellular alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) showed cell and matrix alignment, respectively.
