Role of Bioelectricity During Cell Proliferation in Different Cell Types
Mit Balvantray Bhavsar, Liudmila Leppik, Karla Mychellyne Costa Oliveira, John H BarkerThis study investigates how bioelectricity, specifically the voltage across cell membranes (Vmem), influences the ability of cells to proliferate. Researchers examined three different cell types, including mesenchymal s…

Immunofibroblasts are pivotal drivers of tertiary lymphoid structure formation and local pathology
Saba Nayar, Joana Campos, Charlotte G Smith, Valentina Iannizzotto, David H Gardner, Frédéric Mourcin, David Roulois, J…In sites of chronic inflammation or infection, connective tissue cells called fibroblasts can change their behavior. This study shows how a specific group of fibroblasts transforms into a network of so-called "immunofib…

Cannabis sativa L. extract and cannabidiol inhibit in vitro mediators of skin inflammation and wound injury
Enrico Sangiovanni, Marco Fumagalli, Barbara Pacchetti, Stefano Piazza, Andrea Magnavacca, Saba Khalilpour, Gloria Melz…This laboratory study investigated how a Cannabis sativa extract and pure cannabidiol (CBD) affect inflammation in human skin cells. Researchers treated keratinocytes and fibroblasts with the extract, finding that it in…

Modeled Osteopathic Manipulative Treatments: A Review of Their in Vitro Effects on Fibroblast Tissue Preparations
Manal Zein-Hammoud, Paul R StandleyThis narrative review summarizes lab-based (in vitro) studies investigating how simulated osteopathic treatments, like myofascial release, affect fibroblasts. The authors found that applying mechanical strain to these c…

Electron microscopy of human fascia lata: focus on telocytes
Joanna Dawidowicz, Sylwia Szotek, Natalia Matysiak, Łukasz Miela!nczyk, Krzysztof MaksymowiczThis study used an electron microscope to examine the types of cells present in the fascia lata, a sheet of connective tissue in the thigh. For the first time, researchers confirmed the existence of a specific cell type…

Purine receptor mediated actin cytoskeleton remodeling of human fibroblasts
Nanna Goldman, Devin Chandler-Militello, Helene Langevin, Maiken Nedergaard, Takahiro TakanoThis laboratory study investigated how certain molecules, called purines, affect human fibroblast cells. Previous research has shown that acupuncture can trigger the release of purines like ATP. The researchers exposed…

Dosed Myofascial Release in Three-Dimensional Bioengineered Tendons: Effects on Human Fibroblast Hyperplasia, Hypertrophy, and Cytokine Secretion
Thanh V Cao, Michael R Hicks, David Campbell, Paul R StandleyThis laboratory study investigated how different amounts and durations of simulated myofascial release (MFR) affect lab-grown human tendon tissue. Researchers applied varying degrees of stretch for different lengths of…

Cannabinoids inhibit fibrogenesis in diffuse systemic sclerosis fibroblasts
E Garcia-Gonzalez, E Selvi, E Balistreri, S Lorenzini, R Maggio, M-R Natale, P-L Capecchi, P-E Lazzerini, M Bardelli, F…Systemic sclerosis is a disease characterized by excessive fibrosis, or scarring, in tissues. In this laboratory study, researchers investigated the effect of a synthetic cannabinoid on fibroblasts (connective tissue ce…

Connective Tissue Fibroblast Response to Acupuncture: Dose- Dependent Effect of Bidirectional Needle Rotation
Helene M Langevin, Nicole A Bouffard, David L Churchill, Gary J BadgerThis study on mouse tissue explored how connective tissue cells respond to back-and-forth rotation of an acupuncture needle. Researchers observed that fibroblasts, a type of connective tissue cell, changed shape by spre…
