Revolutionary Injectable Prosthesis Speeds Up Tissue Repair

ByThe Short Paper

Injectable tissue prosthesis for instantaneous closed-loop rehabilitation

Researchers have developed an innovative injectable tissue prosthesis made of a soft hydrogel combined with gold nanoparticles, allowing instantaneous bidirectional electrical conduction within the neuromuscular system. Unlike previous patch-type devices, this injectable prosthesis conforms to rough, narrow, or deep tissue surfaces. Tested in rats with severe muscle injury, the prosthesis, when injected, accelerates tissue repair and has shown promising results in early-stage rehabilitation.

Chromosome Folding’s Role in DNA Repair and Genomic Stability

ByThe Short Paper

Chromatin compartmentalization regulates the response to DNA damage This recent study sheds light on the role of chromosome folding in DNA repair and genome stability. When double-stranded breaks occur in mammalian cells, a process driven by ATM (a protein involved in DNA repair) leads to the creation of a new chromatin compartment called the “D…

Haemoglobin’s Surprising Role in Chondrocytes

ByThe Short Paper

An extra-erythrocyte role of haemoglobin body in chondrocyte hypoxia adaption Haemoglobin, commonly known for carrying oxygen in red blood cells, has been discovered to play a significant role in chondrocytes, which are cells in cartilage. Chondrocytes produce large amounts of haemoglobin to create specialized structures called “haemoglobin bodies” (Hedy) within their cytoplasm. These bodies are…
