    Abstract Bacterial swarms display intriguing dynamical states like active turbulence. Now, using a hydrodynamic model, we show that such dense active suspensions manifest superdiffusion, via Lévy walks, which masquerades as a crossover from ballistic to diffusive scaling in measurements of mean-squared displacements, and is tied to the emergence of hitherto undetected oscillatory streaks in the flow. Thus, while laying the theoretical framework of an emergent advantageous strategy in the collective behavior of microorganisms, our Letter underlines the essential differences between active and inertial turbulence.

    Abstract A specialized biomarker(s) for lung cancer is imperative owing to its high mortality. Continuing our earlier work demonstrating the role of miR-320a as a tumor suppressor, here we discuss the most recent updates on miR-320a in lung cancer pathogenesis. We found that miR-320a modulates levels of diverse cancer-associated molecules and signaling pathways, and is also involved in modulating the immune microenvironment of lung cancer during its pathogenesis. We also discuss how miR-320a encapsulated in exosomes inhibits invasive phenotypes of lung cancer. Therefore, based on the multimodal role of miR-320a in lung cancer development and progression, we believe that miR-320a may be utilized as a potential diagnostic/prognostic marker and therapeutic target for lung cancer patients.

    Abstract A wide variety of hydrogels have been explored as 3D culture platforms and for applications in tissue engineering. Hydrogels formed from natural extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins readily support the formation of vasculature in vitro, but only a handful of hydrogels composed of synthetic materials have shown anything comparable. This relative lack of synthetic material options has hindered efforts to better understand how ECM cues direct vascularization. We developed a biosynthetic hydrogel consisting of polyethylene glycol diacrylamide conjugated to macromolecular type-I collagen. Through their acrylamide-based crosslinks, these materials allow for independent control of physical properties and bulk ligand concentration. These hydrogels exhibited hydrolytic stability, but the collagen component retained its susceptibility to enzymatic remodeling. Photoencapsulation of endothelial cells and fibroblasts within this hydrogel material and their subsequent co-culture led to the formation of capillary vessel-like networks with well-defined hollow lumens. Capillary formation was prevented by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, recapitulating the MMP-dependence of vascularization observed in natural hydrogels. These findings validate the utility of this material platform to decipher how the ECM regulates capillary morphogenesis and to support the formation of vascularized tissue constructs for potential applications in regenerative medicine.

    Abstract Vasotocin (VT) is a basic neurohypophysial nonapeptide in non-mammalian vertebrates and is involved in diverse functions like osmoregulation, reproduction, metabolism and behavior. In this study, we report that estradiol-17β (E₂) regulates brain and plasma VT secretion through the involvement of the catecholaminergic (CA) system. To demonstrate this, E₂ level was altered through ovariectomy (OVX, 3weeks) and replacement study with low and high E₂ doses (0.1 and 0.5μg/g body weight). CA activity was inhibited by treatment with α-methylparatyrosine (α-MPT; 250μg/g body weight), a competitive inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase. VT was assayed by an enzyme immunoassay method. In the sham group, the low E₂ dose produced 82% and 104% increase, respectively, in brain and plasma VT levels. The high E₂ dose decreased the VT levels significantly. The low E₂ dose decreased brain E₂ but elevated plasma E₂. In the high E₂ group, the E₂ level increased further in both brain and plasma. OVX resulted in a significant inhibition (69% and 25%, respectively) of both brain and plasma VT, which was correlated with low E₂ levels. The low E₂ dose not only reversed the inhibition, but increased the VT level in both brain and plasma in comparison to the sham groups. The high E₂ replacement inhibited VT levels further low in both brain and plasma. The α-MPT treatment inhibited VT levels significantly in both sham and OVX groups. The drug treatment abolished partially the restorative effect of the low E₂ dose in the ovariectomized fish. In the high E₂ dose group, α-MPT decreased brain and plasma VT levels further low compared to the sham+0.5μg E₂ group or OVX+0.5μg E₂ group except the brain VT level, which increased in the OVX+0.5μg E₂ group. It is inferred that E₂ may exert biphasic effects on VT through the mediation of the CA system.

In this study, we report that estradiol-17β (E(2)) regulates brain and plasma VT secretion through the involvement of the catecholaminergic (CA) system.

    Abstract Tunable properties of multi-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel, crosslinked by Michael-type addition, support diverse applications in tissue engineering. Bioactive modification of PEG is achieved by incorporating integrin binding sequences, like RGD, and crosslinking with tri-functional protease sensitive crosslinking peptide (GCYKNRGCYKNRCG), which compete for the same reactive groups in PEG. This competition leads to a narrow range of conditions that support sufficient crosslinking density to provide structural control. Kinetics of hydrogel formation plays an important role in defining the conditions to form hydrogels with desired mechanical and biological properties, which have not been fully characterized. In this study, we explored how increasing PEG functionality from 4 to 8-arms and the concentration of biological moieties, ranging from 0.5 mM to 3.75 mM, affected the kinetics of hydrogel formation, storage modulus, and swelling after the hydrogels were allowed to form for 15 or 60 minutes. Next, human bone marrow stromal cells were encapsulated and cultured in these modified hydrogels to investigate the combined effect of mechano-biological properties on phenotypes of encapsulated cells. While the molar concentration of the reactive functional groups (-vinyl sulfone) was identical in the conditions comparing 4 and 8-arm PEG, the 8-arm PEG formed faster, allowed a greater degree of modification, and was superior in three-dimensional culture. The degrees of swelling and storage modulus of 8-arm PEG were less affected by the modification compared to 4-arm PEG. These findings suggest that 8-arm PEG allows a more precise control of mechanical properties that could lead to a larger spectrum of tissue engineering applications.
