A Novel Core–Shell Hydrogel 3D Model for Studying Macrophage Mechanosensing and Foreign Body Giant Cell Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The foreign body response (FBR) to biomaterials is primarily driven by macrophages, which often fuse into destructive foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). To address the limited understanding of FBGC formation, a novel microscale core–shell hydrogel 3D model is developed using heterogeneous alginate‐collagen microcapsules with varying stiffness, offering ...

Candida antifungal drug resistance in sub-Saharan African populations: A systematic review [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Background: Candida infections are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality rates in at-risk patients, especially in developing countries where there is limited access to antifungal drugs and a high burden of HIV co-infection.

Decellularized Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds to Engineer the Dormant Landscape of Microscopic Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Decellularized liver extracellular matrix scaffolds provide a platform to study dormant liver‐metastatic colorectal cancer. They induce reversible dormancy, in combination with nutrient depletion and low dose chemotherapy, through cell cycle arrest and chemotherapy resistance.

A Human Kidney Tubuloid Model of Repeated Cisplatin‐Induced Cellular Senescence and Fibrosis for Drug Screening

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Replicating aging and senescence‐related pathophysiological responses in kidney organoids remains a significant challenge. Human adult renal tubular organoid, tubuloids, are successfully developed recapitulating cellular senescence that is the central pathophysiological mechanism of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Management of Patients with Candida auris Fungemia at Community Hospital, Brooklyn, New York, USA, 2016–2018

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Candida auris is an emerging fungus that can cause invasive infections. It is associated with high mortality rates and resistance to multiple classes of antifungal drugs and is difficult to identify with standard laboratory methods.

Vertebrate Hosts as Islands: Dynamics of Selection, Immigration, Loss, Persistence, and Potential Function of Bacteria on Salamander Skin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Skin bacterial communities can protect amphibians from a fungal pathogen; however, little is known about how these communities are maintained. We used a neutral model of community ecology to identify bacteria that are maintained on salamanders by ...

Growth Hormone‐Loaded 3D Printed Silk Fibroin‐Cellulose Dressings for Ischemic Wounds

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed wound dressings combining carboxymethyl cellulose, silk fibroin, and growth hormone accelerate healing in diabetic ulcers. These bioactive, customizable dressings enhance angiogenesis, cellular proliferation, and immune modulation. Proteomic analysis reveals activation of regenerative pathways and reduced fibrosis, highlighting their ...
