The goal of this study was to assess the differences between commonly used EC sources in tissue engineering applications, including human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs), human dermal microvascular ECs (hdmvECs), and human foreskin microvascular ECs (hfmvECs), and organ-specific human pancreatic microvascular ECs (hpmvECs), and test their impact on functionality within an <i>in vitro</i> pancreas test system used for diabetes research. Utilizing high-resolution Raman microspectroscopy and Raman imaging in combination with established protein and gene expression analyses and exposure to defined physical signals within microfluidic cultures, we identified that ECs exhibit significant differences in their biochemical composition, relevant protein expression, angiogenic potential, and response to the application of mechanical shear stress. Proof-of-concept results showed that the coculture of isolated human islets of Langerhans with hpmvECs significantly increased the functionality when compared with control islets and islets cocultured with HUVECs.

Direct measurement of these microenvironmental forces has been challenging, particularly for cell-dense models. To address this, we previously developed hydrogel-based force sensors that are approximately the size of a cell and can be imaged over time to computationally assess the forces exerted by surrounding cells and matrix. The goal of this project was to identify how the physical characteristics of force sensors impact measurements. Sensors were varied in size, elastic modulus, and surface coating before being included in stem cell suspensions that then spontaneously self-assembled into spheroidal neotissues. Using this model of early mesenchymal condensation, we hypothesized that larger, softer sensors would provide greater sensitivity and precision, whereas protein coatings would influence the directionality of applied forces (tensile vs. compressive). These experiments were conducted using a high-content imaging system that allowed analysis of over a thousand sensors to evaluate the various conditions. Results indicated that measurement fidelity was highest for force sensors that had a diameter >20 µm and modulus ∼0.2 kPa. Extremely soft sensors deformed too much, whereas stiffer sensors deformed too little. Collagen and N-cadherin coatings, which replicated cell-matrix or cell-cell binding, respectively, allowed for tensile forces to be exerted on the sensors, with greater forces being observed for N-cadherin sensors in these highly cellular neotissue constructs. Uncoated sensors were universally compressed due to the lack of cell-sensor adhesion. Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton lessened microenvironmental forces, whereas disruption of microtubules had no measurable effect.

Although peripheral nerves have an innate capacity for regeneration, restoration of function after severe injury remains suboptimal.

Although targeted drug compounds have the potential to influence axonal growth, there are no drugs currently approved to treat PNI. Therefore, we propose to repurpose commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to enhance PNR, facilitating easier clinical translation. Additionally, calcium signaling plays a crucial role in neuronal connectivity and regeneration, but how specific drugs modulate this process remains unclear. We developed an <i>in vitro</i> hollow channel collagen gel platform that successfully supports neuronal network formation. This study evaluated the effects of commonly used NSAIDs, namely ibuprofen and indomethacin, in our <i>in vitro</i> model of axonal growth, regeneration, and calcium signaling as potential treatments for PNI. Our results demonstrate enhanced axonal growth and regrowth with both ibuprofen and indomethacin, suggesting a positive influence on PNR. Further, these drugs showed enhanced calcium signaling dynamics, which we posit is a crucial aspect for nerve repair.

When this is not available, a commercially available synthetic graft can be used as an alternative but is associated with high failure rates and complications. Therefore, the research focus has shifted toward the development of biodegradable, regenerative vascular grafts that can convert into neoarteries. We previously developed an electrospun tropoelastin (TE)-polyglycerol sebacate (PGS) vascular graft that rapidly regenerated into a neoartery, with a cellular composition and extracellular matrix approximating the native aorta. We noted, however, that the TE-PGS graft underwent dilation until sufficient neotissue had been regenerated. This study investigated the mechanisms behind the observed dilation following TE-PGS vascular graft implantation in mice. We saw more pronounced dilation at the graft middle compared with the graft proximal and graft distal regions at 8 weeks postimplantation. Histological analysis revealed less degradation at the graft middle, although the remaining graft material appeared pitted, suggesting compromised structural and mechanical integrity. We also observed delayed cellular infiltration and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition at the graft middle, corresponding with the area's reduced ability to resist dilation. In contrast, the graft proximal region exhibited greater degradation and significantly enhanced cellular infiltration and ECM regeneration. The nonuniform dilation was attributed to the combined effect of the regional differences in graft degradation and arterial regeneration.

This results in wide interobserver variation, causing ambiguities in OA grade prediction. Such drawbacks of manual assessment can be overcome by implementing artificial intelligence-based automated image classification techniques such as deep learning (DL). Hence, we present the feasibility of training a deep neural network with cartilage histology images, which can grade the extent and severity of knee OA based on modified Mankin scoring system. The grading system used here for automating OA grading was simplified and modified based on the microscopic observations from the histology images, where three parameters (Safranin-O staining intensity, chondrocyte distribution and arrangement, and morphology) were considered for evaluating the OA progression. The histology images were tiled, labeled, and grouped together based on the developed grading system (Grade 0-3). Four different DL architectures were tried for image classification and the best performing model was selected by fivefold validation method. With a validation accuracy of ∼84%, 0.632 Cohen's kappa score, and an excellent receiver operating characteristic (ROC)-area under the ROC curve ranging between 0.89 and 0.99, DenseNet121 was selected among the four models as the best performing model, and was used for inferencing on new data. Final grades obtained from the models were in accordance with the grades provided by the medical experts. We hereby demonstrate that a DL architecture can be taught to interpret the degree of cartilage degradation, with excellent discriminatory ability across all four classes of OA severity. Unlike other works where radiographic images have been considered for grading of OA, we have considered histology images, which is a fundamental approach for grading OA extent and severity. This would bring a paradigm shift in histology-based assessment of OA, making this automated approach to be explored as an option for OA grading standardization.
