Fiber Density Reconstructs Annulus Fibrosus Collagen
2026-09-22
The reference study shows that fiber density in otherwise composition-matched electrospun scaffolds can direct annulus fibrosus cell phenotypes toward collagen type I- or collagen type II-rich matrix programs. Its mechanistic findings connect scaffold microarchitecture with RhoA–ROCK, ERK/AKT, and Piezo1-associated signaling, offering a design principle for rebuilding the native collagen heterogeneity of the annulus fibrosus.

Deep Learning for iPSC-CM Cardiotoxicity Screening
2026-09-22
Grafton et al. developed a high-content screening workflow that combines induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes with deep-learning image analysis to identify potential drug-induced cardiotoxicity. The approach produced a single-parameter toxicity score across bioactive and chemically diverse libraries, offering an early-stage strategy for prioritizing compounds that require mechanistic and safety follow-up.
