Small molecule BDNF mimetics activate TrkB signaling and prevent neuronal degeneration in rodents.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) activates the receptor tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) with high potency and specificity, promoting neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic… Expand

Blocking Macrophage Leukotriene B4 Prevents Endothelial Injury and Reverses Pulmonary Hypertension
In a rat model of pulmonary hypertension, inhibition of LTB4 synthesis in macrophages that accumulate in lung tissue reverses the disease. How to Open a Blocked Vessel Like the pressure that builds… Expand

Enhancement of mesenchymal stem cell angiogenic capacity and stemness by a biomimetic hydrogel scaffold.
In this study, we examined the capacity of a biomimetic pullulan-collagen hydrogel to create a functional biomaterial-based stem cell niche for the delivery of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into… Expand

Small Molecule, Non-Peptide p75NTR Ligands Inhibit Aβ-Induced Neurodegeneration and Synaptic Impairment
The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is expressed by neurons particularly vulnerable in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We tested the hypothesis that non-peptide, small molecule p75NTR ligands found to… Expand

The p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Promotes Amyloid-β(1-42)-Induced Neuritic Dystrophy In Vitro and In Vivo
Oligomeric forms of amyloid-β (Aβ) are thought to play a causal role in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) has been implicated in Aβ-induced neurodegeneration. To… Expand

Neuroprotective natural antibodies to assemblies of amyloidogenic peptides decrease with normal aging and advancing Alzheimer's disease
A number of distinct β-amyloid (Aβ) variants or multimers have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and antibodies recognizing such peptides are in clinical trials. Humans have natural… Expand

The effect of bioengineered acellular collagen patch on cardiac remodeling and ventricular function post myocardial infarction.
Regeneration of the damaged myocardium is one of the most challenging fronts in the field of tissue engineering due to the limited capacity of adult heart tissue to heal and to the mechanical and… Expand

A critical role for the PAR-1/MARK-tau axis in mediating the toxic effects of Aβ on synapses and dendritic spines.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia in the elderly. Accumulating evidence supports soluble amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers as the leading… Expand

Filamentous Bacteriophage Promote Biofilm Assembly and Function.
Biofilms-communities of bacteria encased in a polymer-rich matrix-confer bacteria with the ability to persist in pathologic host contexts, such as the cystic fibrosis (CF) airways. How bacteria… Expand
