    Abstract Small molecules have gained considerable interest in regenerative medicine, as they can effectively modulate cell fates in a spatiotemporal controllable fashion. A continuous challenge in the field represents genuine mimicry or activation of growth factor signaling with small molecules. Here, we selected and profiled three compounds for their capacity to directly or indirectly activate endogenous FGF-2, VEGF, or SHH signaling events in the context of skin regeneration. Phenotypic and functional analysis of primary skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes revealed unique, cell-specific activity profiles for the FGF-2 mimetic SUN11602 and the putative VEGF mimetic ONO-1301. Whereas SUN11602 exclusively stimulated keratinocyte differentiation, ONO-1301 mainly affected the proliferation and migration behavior of fibroblasts. In each skin cell type, both compounds selectively enhanced the expression of MMP1 and VEGFA. A combined small molecule FGF-2/VEGF mimicry may not only improve angiogenesis-related microcirculation but also reduce early fibrosis while facilitating wound remodeling at later stages. SUN11602 and ONO-1301 represent valuable tools for improving the management of difficult-to-heal wounds, particularly for the design and development of small molecule-functionalized, next-generation, engineered skin substitutes.

    Abstract Systemic chemotherapy is a primary strategy in the treatment of cancer, but comes with a number of limitations such as toxicity and unfavorable biodistribution. To overcome these issues, numerous targeting systems for specific delivery of chemotherapeutics to tumor cells have been designed and evaluated. Such strategies generally address subsets of tumor cells, still allowing the progressive growth of tumor cells not expressing the target. Moreover, tumor stem cells and tumor supportive cells, such as cancer associated fibroblasts and cancer associated macrophages, are left unaffected by this approach. In this review, we discuss an alternative targeting strategy aimed at delivery of anti-tumor drugs to the tumoral extracellular matrix with the potential to eliminate all cell types. The extracellular matrix of tumors is vastly different from that of healthy tissue and offers hooks for targeted drug delivery. It is concluded that matrix targeting is promising, but that clinical studies are required to evaluate translation.

    Abstract The process of wound healing is a tightly controlled cascade of events, where severe skin wounds are resolved via scar tissue. This fibrotic response may be diminished by applying anti-fibrotic factors to the wound, thereby stimulating regeneration over scarring. The development of tunable biomaterials that enable spatiotemporal control over the release of anti-fibrotics would greatly benefit wound healing. Herein, harnessing the power of click-to-release chemistry for regenerative medicine, we demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach. For this purpose, one side of a bis-N-hydroxysuccinimide-trans-cyclooctene (TCO) linker was functionalized with human epidermal growth factor (hEGF), an important regulator during wound healing, whereas on the other side a carrier protein was conjugated-either type I collagen scaffolds or bovine serum albumin (BSA). Mass spectrometry demonstrated the coupling of hEGF-TCO and indicated a release following exposure to dimethyl-tetrazine. Type I collagen scaffolds could be functionalized with the hEGF-TCO complex as demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. The hEGF-TCO complex was also successfully ligated to BSA and the partial release of hEGF upon dimethyl-tetrazine exposure was observed through Western blotting. This work establishes the potential of click-to-release chemistry for the development of pro-regenerative biomaterials.

    Abstract As an adaptive response to hypoxic stress, aggressive tumors rewire their metabolic phenotype into increased malignant behavior through extracellular lipid scavenging and storage in lipid droplets (LD). However, the underlying mechanisms and potential lipid source retrieved in the hypoxic tumor microenvironment remain poorly understood. Here, we show that exosome-like extracellular vesicles (EV), known as influential messengers in the tumor microenvironment, may also serve anabolic functions by transforming hypoxic, patient-derived human glioblastoma cell lines into the LD

    Abstract Background: Non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance during CPB occurs by complex-forming with heparin-binding proteins. Currently, there are no specific recommendations for non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance.
    Case presentation: We present a fatal case of a 70-yr-old male-patient undergoing cardiac-surgery in which refractory heparin-resistance was observed. The massive AL amyloidosis found at autopsy is thought to be responsible and illustrates that awareness and knowledge of the etiology and perioperative strategies of non-AT-III mediated heparin-resistance is important.
    Conclusion: For anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in case of a non-AT-III medicated heparin resistance, we refer to the decision tree added to this manuscript and if necessary to consider direct thrombin inhibitors, such as bivalirudin or argatroban, as it bypasses the complexing pathway.

    Abstract Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by irreversible lung tissue damage. Novel regenerative strategies are urgently awaited. Cultured mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have shown promising results in experimental models of COPD, but differences between sources may impact on their potential use in therapeutic strategies in patients.
    Aim: To assess the transcriptome of lung-derived MSCs (LMSCs), bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSC) and adipose-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) from COPD patients and non-COPD controls.
    Methods: We studied differences in gene expression profiles between the MSC-subtypes, as well as between COPD and control using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq).
    Results: We show that besides heterogeneity between donors, MSCs from different sources have strongly divergent gene signatures. The growth factors FGF10 and HGF were predominantly expressed in LMSCs. MSCs from all sources displayed altered expression profiles in COPD, with most pronounced significantly up- and downregulated genes in MSCs from adipose tissue. Pathway analysis revealed that the most differentially expressed genes in COPD-derived AD-MSCs are involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) binding and expression. In LMSCs, the gene that differed most strongly between COPD and control was CSGALNACT1, an ECM modulating gene.
    Conclusion: Autologous MSCs from COPD patients display abnormalities with respect to their transcriptome, which were surprisingly most profound in MSCs from extrapulmonary sources. LMSCs may be optimally equipped for lung tissue repair because of the expression of specific growth factor genes.

    Abstract Aim: In order to evaluate the role of MMP-14 in ovarian cancer, a systematic review was conducted.
    Methods: In March 2020, a search in Pubmed was performed with MMP-14 and ovarian cancer as search terms. After exclusion of the references not on MMP-14 or ovarian cancer or not in English, the studies found were classified into two categories: basic research and clinicopathological research.
    Results: In total, 94 references were found of which 33 were excluded. Two additional articles were found in the reference lists of the included studies. Based on the full texts, another 4 were excluded. Eventually, 59 studies were included in the review, 32 on basic research and 19 on clinicopathological research. 8 studies fell in both categories. The basic research studies show that MMP-14 plays an important role in ovarian cancer in the processes of proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis. In clinocopathological research, MMP-14 expression is found in most tumours with characteristics of poor prognosis but this immunohistochemical MMP-14 determination does not seem to be an independent predictor of prognosis.
    Conclusions: From this systematic review of the literature concerning MMP-14 in ovarian cancer it becomes clear that MMP-14 plays various important roles in the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer. The exact translation of these roles in the pathophysiology to the importance of MMP-14 in clinicopathological research in ovarian cancer and possible therapeutic role of anti-MMP-14 agents needs further elucidation.

    Abstract Fractones, specialized extracellular matrix structures found in the subventricular zone (SVZ) neurogenic niche, can capture growth factors, such as basic fibroblast growth factor, from the extracellular milieu through a heparin-binding mechanism for neural stem cell (NSC) presentation, which promotes neurogenesis. During aging, a decline in neurogenesis correlates with a change in the composition of heparan sulfate (HS) within fractones. In this study, we used antibodies that recognize specific short oligosaccharides with varying sulfation to evaluate the HS composition in fractones in young and aged brains. To further understand the conditions that regulate 6-O sulfation levels and its impact on neurogenesis, we used endosulfatase Sulf1 and Sulf2 double knockout (DKO) mice. Fractones in the SVZ of Sulf1/2 DKO mice showed immunoreactivity for the HS epitope, suggesting higher 6-O sulfation. While neurogenesis declined in the aged SVZ of both wild-type and Sulf1/2 DKO mice, we observed a larger number of neuroblasts in the young and aged SVZ of Sulf1/2 DKO mice. Together, these results show that the removal of 6-O-sulfation in fractones HS by endosulfatases inhibits neurogenesis in the SVZ. Our findings advance the current understanding regarding the extracellular environment that is best suited for NSCs to thrive, which is critical for the design of future stem cell therapies.
