Hydrogel‐Mediated Preservation of Live Tumor Explants for Drug Development in Peritoneal Metastases
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a hyaluronan‐based hydrogel platform preserving the native tumor microenvironment (morphology, tissue composition, histology) of patient‐derived explants from peritoneal metastases, enabling clinically relevant drug screening. Hydrogel properties such as stiffness and degradation are crucial for longer‐term histoculture.

CD44 Expression on Epidermal Melanocytes
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1996 We examined CD44 expression on melanocytes to begin to understand what role CD44 might have in the normal behavior of melanocytes and to provide a basis for comparing CD44 expression in melanoma cells. CD44 was expressed on the entire surface of melanocytes and accentuated at the tips of dendritic processes.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work has developed a dual enzyme‐mimicking and ultrasound‐responsive Nb2C‐Pt@HA‐PEG nanozyme. ROS‐eliminating and antiinflammatory capability of Nb2C‐Pt@HA‐PEG under US irradiation are demonstrated on macrophages and endothelial cells in vitro. Nb2C‐Pt@HA‐PEG‐mediated sonocatalytic therapy exerts an outstanding anti‐atherosclerosis efficacy by ...
