Cardiac‐Derived ECM Microspheres for Enhanced hiPSC‐CMs Maturation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cardiac extracellular matrix microspheres derived from decellularized porcine heart provide a biomimetic 3D microenvironment for human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). This platform supports short‐ and long‐term culture, enhances structural organization, and promotes electrophysiological and functional maturation of ...

Ultrasmall Platinum Nanoparticles for Radiation‐Enhanced Cancer Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work proposes a nanomedicine‐based strategy to enhance X‐ray radiotherapy for cancer treatment. Ultrasmall Pt‐NPs exhibit catalase‐like activity that may contribute to modulation of the tumor microenvironment and amplify interactions between radiation and biological matter, leading to increased DNA damage.

Serum markers for detecting histological features of autoimmune hepatitis and predicting prognosis in patients with antinuclear antibody‐positive drug‐induced liver injury

Portal Hypertension & Cirrhosis
Aims Although useful for distinguishing drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) from autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), liver biopsy is an invasive examination, and the presence of antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity in patients with DILI could lead to excessive use

Bioactive Conductive Ti3C2Tx‐Ce Hydrogel Facilitates Spinal Cord Injury Repair Through ROS Scavenging and Mitochondrial Regulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioactive conductive Ti3C2Tx‐Ce hydrogels with with scavenging ROS and alleviating neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction are exploited for SCI treatment. This functionality is attributed to interfacial activation modification of Ti3C2Tx with Ce3+ ions to in‐situ form Ce(OH)x‐mediated protective layer, which is beneficial to enabling stable intracellular ...
