A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...

Biologically Active Implants Prevent Mortality in a Mouse Sepsis Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A modular, triple‐action titanium implant is developed to prevent implant‐associated infections by repelling bacteria, killing pathogens, and enhancing tissue integration. Coatings with phage cocktails targeting P. aeruginosa and S. aureus show significant bacterial reduction and improved survival in a mouse sepsis model.

Differential Phase Contrast Imaging to Predict MSC Immune Function

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work employs quantitative differential phase contrast (qDPC) imaging technique to non‐invasively extract morphological features from live Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) for single cell prediction on cell immunomodulatory capacity. This work establishes a foundation for scalable, non‐destructive monitoring of MSCs immunomodulatory capacity ...

A Novel Core–Shell Hydrogel 3D Model for Studying Macrophage Mechanosensing and Foreign Body Giant Cell Formation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The foreign body response (FBR) to biomaterials is primarily driven by macrophages, which often fuse into destructive foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). To address the limited understanding of FBGC formation, a novel microscale core–shell hydrogel 3D model is developed using heterogeneous alginate‐collagen microcapsules with varying stiffness, offering ...

Tapered Pillar Design for High‐Precision Force Readout in Miniaturized Engineered Heart Tissues From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered heart tissues (EHTs) are a valuable approach in capturing human cardiac physiology and drug responses in vitro. Here, a novel tapered pillar design is developed in an EHT platform to confine tissues in a predefined position‐ at the middle of the pillar height.

Vibration‐Mediated Recovery of Irradiated Osteocytes and Their Regulatory Role in Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy damages bone and disrupts osteocyte function, yet mechanically mediated protection remains largely unexplored. This study demonstrates that low‐magnitude, high‐frequency (LMHF) vibration mitigates irradiated osteocyte apoptosis, restores their ability to regulate breast cancer extravasation, and acts synergistically with radiotherapy to ...
