Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Medical Fabrics with Non‐Antibiotic, Supramolecular Antimicrobial Coatings: A Preventive Approach to Combat Biofilm Formation and Bacterial Dissemination

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents an antibiotic‐free strategy using medical fabrics coated with supramolecular assemblies of polyarginine and hyaluronic acid. These coatings showed strong antimicrobial and anti‐biofilm activity in vitro and in vivo, achieving major bacterial load reductions, including against MRSA.

Machine Learning‐Informed Nano Co‐Assembly Inhibits Fibroblast Activation Protein and Improves Drug Delivery in Fibrotic Tissue

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present SP‐13786 (SP), a fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor, as a universal excipient for co‐assembling stable drug nanoparticles (SCAN). Assembly mechanism deciphered by molecular dynamics and explainable machine learning, SCAN attenuate fibrosis‐induced stromal barriers, enhances lesional drug accumulation, and improves therapeutic ...
