Optimization of the Nonclinical Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Using Toxicologic Pathology Best Practices

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nonclinical evaluation of biological responses to implanted medical devices and combination products in animals is required to predict possible outcomes and risks in patients. This paper describes globally accepted pathology “best practices” that 1) effectively address ISO standards and current regulatory guidance for medical device development and 2 ...

Silencing Myostatin Using In Vivo Self‐Assembled siRNA Protects Against Cancer‐ and Dexamethasone‐Induced Muscle Atrophy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports an in vivo self‐assembled siRNA strategy that enables the liver to generate small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) tagged with a muscle‐targeting peptide (MSP) and naturally loaded with myostatin (MSTN)‐siRNA. These MSP‐tagged sEVs are systemically delivered to skeletal muscle, efficiently silence MSTN, promote muscle hypertrophy, and ...

Bioassembly of Region‐Specific Fibrocartilage Microtissues to Engineer Zonally Defined Meniscal Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Meniscal microtissues are fabricated using progenitor cells isolated from the inner (iMPCs) and outer (oMPCs) regions of the meniscus. Meniscal microtissues fuse into cohesive constructs rich in sGAG and collagen. cABC treatment modulates collagen fiber formation and organization in assembled grafts.

A Novel Microfluidic System for 3D Epidermis and Full‐Thickness Skin Growth for Nanoparticle Safety Assessment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a novel, dynamically perfused, configurable microfluidic system for epidermis‐only (E and full‐thickness skin (FT SoC) growth, emulating human skin structure and barrier function. Upon TiO2 nanoparticle exposure, the system reveals compromised barrier integrity, reduced metabolic activity, increased permeability, and chemokine‐driven
