Bone fracture healing is a complex, timely orchestrated scenario involving multiple cell types and a plethora of cytokines and regulatory factors. To gain further insight, an in vitro model to a) study macrophage polarization under mechanical load in a fibrin hydrogel and b) subsequently assess the effect of conditioned media derived from macrophages ...

An ex vivo glomerular filtration barrier is engineered using electrospun, biomimetic membranes seeded with human glomerular cells. The model supports fenestrated endothelium and podocyte foot processes under flow, mimics size‐selective filtration, and enables disease modeling with hiPSC‐derived podocytes, offering a powerful platform for studying ...

Biphasic Granular Bioinks for Biofabrication of High Cell Density Constructs for Dermal Regeneration
This study introduces a biphasic granular bioink (µInk) that enables 3D bioprinting of high cell density constructs for dermal regeneration. The bioink promotes cell proliferation, ECM deposition, and neovascularization, leading to tissue integration and reduced scar formation in vivo.

Oxidation and reduction of actin: Origin, impact in vitro and functional consequences in vivo
Actin is among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and assembles into dynamic filamentous networks regulated by many actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton must be finely tuned, both in space and time, to fulfill key cellular functions

Photocrosslinkable Kidney Decellularized Extracellular Matrix‐Based Bioink for 3D Bioprinting
A photocrosslinkable bioink is developed from methacrylated decellularized porcine kidney extracellular matrix to create kidney‐specific 3D constructs. This bioink supports high cell viability, promotes multicellular spheroid formation, and enables stable multilayer bioprinting with tunable mechanical properties, providing a versatile platform for ...

Super-Resolution Microscopy Reveals the Native Ultrastructure of the Erythrocyte Cytoskeleton
Summary: The erythrocyte cytoskeleton is a textbook prototype for the submembrane cytoskeleton of metazoan cells. While early experiments suggest a triangular network of actin-based junctional complexes connected by ∼200-nm-long spectrin tetramers, later
