Cell‐Delivering Injectable Hydrogels with Tunable Microporous Structures Improve Therapeutic Efficacy for Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents an injectable hydrogel with tunable microporosity to improve mesenchymal stem cell delivery for volumetric muscle loss treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated in porous hydrogels significantly promote the spreading, proliferation, and cytokine secretion of mesenchymal stem cells.

Enhanced Sonodynamic Bacterial Elimination and Wound Healing Therapy Based on Lanthanide Ion Doped Bi2WO6 Nanosheets and Hydrogel Platform

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Lanthanide ytterbium ions are introduced into Bi2WO6 nanosheets to boost ROS generation under US stimulation. These ytterbium‐doped Bi2WO6 nanosheets serve as efficient sonosensitizers, enabling broad‐spectrum bacterial eradication. To improve biocompatibility for in vivo sonodynamic therapy, the sonosensitizers are integrated into hydrogel matrix ...

Inflammatory and Coagulation Biomarkers and Mortality in Patients with HIV Infection

PLoS Medicine, 2008
Background In the Strategies for Management of Anti-Retroviral Therapy trial, all-cause mortality was higher for participants randomized to intermittent, CD4-guided antiretroviral treatment (ART) (drug conservation [DC]) than continuous ART (viral ...

Protophilic TiOx/Ti3C2Tz Nanosheets for Hyper‐Efficient Closed‐Loop Pd Recycling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Protophilic TiOx/Ti3C2Tz NSs enable selective Pd(II) recovery through in situ adsorption‐reduction into Pd(0) NPs from spent catalyst leachates and industrial wastewaters. The resulting Pd/NS composites are directly upcycled as efficient HER electrocatalysts or regenerated for reuse through controlled surface regeneration.

The coagulation system in host defense

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2018
The blood coagulation system and immune system of higher organisms are thought to have a common ancestral origin. During infections, the blood coagulation system is activated and components of the hemostatic system are directly involved in the immune ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Engineering Highly Cellularized Living Materials via Mechanical Agitation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanical agitation strategy is developed to engineer highly cellularized living materials, achieving cell densities of up to 1 billion cells per milliliter. By precisely tuning properties such as stiffness and toughness in blood clots, the approach is validated in both in vitro and in vivo studies.

Kidney Stone Dissolution By Tetherless, Enzyme‐Loaded, Soft Magnetic Miniature Robots

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Wireless magnetic robots are developed for kidney stone dissolution. The robots navigate through a urinary tract model from bladder and ureter to renal pelvis with the help of external magnetic fields. The filaments are loaded with urease enzyme which catalyzes urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia, thereby increasing pH to basic regime and supporting ...

Integrating platelet and coagulation activation in fibrin clot formation

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2018
Platelets interact with the coagulation system in a multitude of ways, not only during the phases of thrombus formation, but also in specific areas within a formed thrombus.
