Intravasation‐On‐µDevice (INVADE): Engineering Dynamic Vascular Interfaces to Study Cancer Cell Intravasation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cancer metastasis begins with intravasation, a complex process involving cancer‐endothelial interactions. INVADE (Intravasation‐on‐µDevice), a biomimetic microfluidic platform enables high‐throughput analysis of intravasation under controlled conditions.

Cardiovascular complications of conventional and targeted adjuvant breast cancer therapy [PDF]

, 2017
Adjuvant therapy has improved the survival of women with early breast cancer (BC). Meta-analyses suggest that anthracycline-based regimens reduced the annual BC death rate by ∼40% in women below the age of 50 and 20% in older women. Novel agents designed

An Anticoagulant Coating Based on a Block Phosphocholine Copolymer for Potential Applications in Blood Contact Devices

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Anticoagulant properties are critical for blood‐compatible materials, and anticoagulant coatings are a common key issue for blood‐contacting medical devices. In this study, a block copolymer poly(2‐methacrylenoxyethyl phosphocholine‐b‐glycidyl) (PMPC‐b‐GMA) is synthesized, using reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) and

Nanostructured 316L Stainless Steel Stent Surfaces Improve Corrosion Resistance, and Enhance Endothelization and Hemocompatibility

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

Red Blood Cell Membrane‐Camouflaged Red Phosphorus‐Modified C3N4 for Enhanced Tumoral Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) faces clinical challenges due to poor tumor targeting and systemic toxicity. Herein, a biomimetic C3N4‐RP@RBCm nanoplatform is developed via erythrocyte membrane encapsulation, enabling CD47‐mediated immune evasion and EPR‐driven tumor accumulation.
