However, in order to maintain their functional perfusion it is important to promote the <i>in vivo</i> stabilization of newly assembled microvascular networks. We previously found that Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) promotes the rapid stabilization of new blood vessels induced by VEGF overexpression in skeletal muscle. Here we investigated whether Sema3A could promote the assembly, connection to circulation and persistence of human SVF-derived microvascular networks in engineered grafts.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Recombinant Sema3A was engineered with a transglutaminase substrate sequence (TG-Sema3A) to allow cross-linking into fibrin hydrogels.

The outer part of the grafts was populated by blood vessels of both human and mouse origin, which formed abundant hybrid structures within a common basal lamina. About 90% of human-derived blood vessels were functionally connected to the host circulation in all conditions. However, in the control samples human vessels were unstable. In fact, they significantly regressed by 6 weeks and could no longer be found by 12 weeks. In contrast, a low Sema3A dose (0.1 μg/ml) promoted further human vascular expansion by about 2-fold at 6 weeks and protected them from regression until 12 weeks. From a mechanistic point of view, the stabilization of SVF-derived vessels by 0.1 μg/ml of Sema3A correlated with the recruitment of a specific population of monocytes expressing its receptor Neuropilin-1.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>In conclusion, Sema3A is a potent stimulator of <i>in vivo</i> long-term persistence of microvascular networks derived from human SVF.

This study evaluated six different finite element (FE) screw modeling methods for predicting compression screw pullout and fatigue failure in a custom pelvic implant secured to bone using nine compression screws. <b>Methods:</b> Three modeling methods (tied constraints (TIE), bolt load with constant force (BL-CF), and bolt load with constant length (BL-CL)) generated screw axial forces using functionality built into Abaqus FE software; while the remaining three modeling methods (isotropic pseudo-thermal field (ISO), orthotropic pseudo-thermal field (ORT), and equal-and-opposite force field (FOR)) generated screw axial forces using iterative physics-based relationships that can be implemented in any FE software. The ability of all six modeling methods to match specified screw pretension forces and predict screw pullout and fatigue failure was evaluated using an FE model of a custom pelvic implant with total hip replacement. The applied hip contact forces in the FE model were estimated at two locations in a gait cycle.

Existing CO<sub>2</sub> capture projects face challenges like high costs and environmental risks. This review explores leveraging microalgae, specifically the <i>Chlorella</i> genus, for CO<sub>2</sub> capture and conversion into valuable bioenergy products like biohydrogen. The introduction section provides an overview of carbon pathways in microalgal cells and their role in CO<sub>2</sub> capture for biomass production. It discusses current carbon credit industries and projects, highlighting the <i>Chlorella</i> genus's carbon concentration mechanism (CCM) model for efficient CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration. Factors influencing microalgal CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration are examined, including pretreatment, pH, temperature, irradiation, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and sources and concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub>. The review explores microalgae as a feedstock for various bioenergy applications like biodiesel, biooil, bioethanol, biogas and biohydrogen production. Strategies for optimizing biohydrogen yield from <i>Chlorella</i> are highlighted. Outlining the possibilities of further optimizations the review concludes by suggesting that microalgae and <i>Chlorella</i>-based CO<sub>2</sub> capture is promising and offers contributions to achieve global climate goals.</p>","PeriodicalId":12444,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11368733/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142125285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
