Allogeneic Immune Cell Perfusion Inhibits the Growth of Vascularized 3D In Vitro Tumor Models, Induces Vascular Regression and Desmoplasia, but Promotes Tumor Cell Invasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a vascularized 3D tumor model to investigate immune–stromal–tumor interactions under allogeneic PBMC perfusion. While immune cells induced tumor shrinkage, they also promoted vascular regression, stromal activation, and cancer cell invasion.

DSG2+ Cancer Stem Cells Co‐Located With FAP+ Myofibroblasts in the Tumor Boundary That Determines the Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) in non‐small cell lung cancer display pronounced plasticity and spatial heterogeneity. By integrating single‐cell and spatial transcriptomics, this study defines a DSG2‐associated CSC program and reveals a tumor‐margin niche formed with FAP+ myofibroblasts.

Autocrine Netrin‐1 Signaling in Hepatic Stellate Cells Drives Liver Fibrosis and Diet‐Induced Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatohepatitis in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Netrin‐1 expression is upregulated in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) during metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis and injury‐mediated liver fibrosis. Secreted Netrin‐1 establishes an autocrine positive feedback loop by binding to UNC5B receptors on HSCs.

A Bioinstructive Injectable Hydrogel for Enhancing Intrinsic Regeneration through Cell Recruitment and Training

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioinstructive injectable hydrogel enables sustained release of stromal cell–derived factor‐1 alpha (SDF‐1α) and stable retention of laminin through ionic and hydrophobic interactions. This dual‐signaling matrix promotes endogenous stem cell recruitment and training, supports angiogenesis, and enhances intrinsic regenerative processes in ischemic ...

Bioinspired Tissue Transparency: Achieving Sclera‐to‐Cornea Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioinspired decellularization‐compression‐locking tactic (DCLT) is developed to transform human sclerae into transparent corneal substitutes. These clear, robust, and pro‐regenerative substitutes are capable of repairing complex corneal injuries, including chemical burns, keratoconus, and penetrating wounds, demonstrating their clinical potential to ...
