Translational Neurodegeneration, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 15, 2023

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases. The typical symptomatology PD includes motor symptoms; however, a range nonmotor symptoms, such as intestinal issues, usually occur before symptoms. Various microorganisms inhabiting gastrointestinal tract can profoundly influence physiopathology central nervous system through neurological, endocrine, and immune pathways involved in microbiota-gut-brain axis. In addition, extensive evidence suggests that gut microbiota strongly associated with PD. This review summarizes latest findings on microbial changes their clinical relevance, describes underlying mechanisms which bacteria may mediate PD, discusses correlations between microbes anti-PD drugs. this outlines status research therapies for future directions PD-gut research.

Advanced Science, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 8(19)

Опубликована: Авг. 5, 2021

Abstract Vascularization of 3D models represents a major challenge tissue engineering and key prerequisite for their clinical industrial application. The use prevascularized built from dedicated materials could solve some the actual limitations, such as suboptimal integration bioconstructs within host tissue, would provide more in vivo‐like perfusable organ‐specific platforms. In last decade, fabrication vascularized physiologically relevant constructs has been attempted by numerous strategies, which are classified here microfluidic technology, coculture models, namely, spheroids organoids, biofabrication. this review, recent advancements prevascularization techniques increasing natural synthetic to build physiological discussed. Current drawbacks each future perspectives, translation toward clinics, pharmaceutical field, industry also presented. By combining complementary these envisioned be successfully used regenerative medicine drug development near future.

Recent developments in microfluidic technology for synthesis and toxicity-efficiency studies of biomedical nanomaterials

Materials Today Advances, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13, С. 100205 - 100205

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2022

Microfluidic technology is a relatively new field among the various conventional bulk techniques employed for nanomaterial synthesis. Nanoparticles (NPs) produced using such methods generally have poor surface features, morphology, uncontrolled size and broad distributions. NPs especially used in biomedical sector require degree of control over their size, polydispersity to improve functionality. To synthesize NPs, microfluidic devices are ideal as parameters mixing rates, flow volumes, multiphase reactions can be controlled on micro/nanoscale. There several strategies challenges synthesis nanoparticles from organic inorganic materials platform. The faced during design implementation these devices, large scale production interaction with soft lithography materials, which overcome by use technique conjugation microfluidics, parallelisation processes search fabrication materials. On other hand, organ-on-chip (OOC) analytical cell cutures present mimic an organ along its physio-chemical properties study cell-nanoparticle interaction. issues construction cultures within device affected As biocompatible being printed into more appropriate designs, utilized contain said reduce risk error analysis NP properties, efficiency toxicity.
