Macrophage–Fibroblast Crosstalk Governs Tumor Mechanics, as Revealed by Spatiotemporal Force Mapping in 3D Spheroids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows crosstalk among tumor cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages alters the physical forces inside 3D tumor spheroids. Incorporating deformable microparticles in 3D tumor spheroids, the researchers mapped mechanical stresses spatially and with respect to tumor growth (temporally).

The Role of Viscoelasticity in Heterogeneous Glioblastoma Stem Cell Invasion in Biomimetic 3‐Dimensional Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The role of viscoelasticity in the invasion of heterogeneous glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) was investigated with GSCs categorized into subgroups based on molecular profile, as Reactive, Invasive, or Constructive using viscoelastic biomimetic hyaluronan‐oxime hydrogels.

Classification of collagen remodeling in asthma using second-harmonic generation imaging, supervised machine learning and texture-based analysis

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
Airway remodeling is present in all stages of asthma severity and has been linked to reduced lung function, airway hyperresponsiveness and increased deposition of fibrillar collagens.

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...

Topically Delivered Treg‐Attracting Microparticle‐Hydrogel Composites Recruit Regulatory T Cells and Limit Cardiac Injury After Severe Ischemia

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
CCL22‐releasing PLGA microparticles (MP) suspended in topically applied hydrogels (HEART) establish a sustained chemokine gradient at the injured myocardium. HEART recruits CCR4+ regulatory T cells, reduces infarct size and graft fibrosis, and improves cardiac function.

Atom‐Efficient Cerium‐Based Molecular Cages as Biocompatible Reactive Oxygen Scavengers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Discrete mixed‐valent cerium molecular cages organize accessible redox centers within confined coordination environments and scavenge superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals. Encapsulation of the lead cage in an ROS‐responsive DTP nanoplatform enables lesion‐associated delivery, attenuates macrophage oxidative stress and inflammation, and ...

Pressure‐Assisted Drug Delivery Using High‐Pressure Balloon Platform Improves Vascular Drug Penetration and Anti‐Restenotic Effects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer high‐pressure drug‐coated balloon (HP@DCB) increased balloon‐wall contact and promoted deeper paclitaxel (PTX) penetration than a conventional noncompliant DCB. In in vivo study, HP@DCB treatment improved luminal patency and reduced neointimal hyperplasia, supporting pressure‐assisted drug delivery as a promising strategy for enhancing the

Hybrid Biofabrication of a Hierarchically Organized Periosteum‐Inspired In Vitro Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid biofabrication strategy integrates melt electrowriting with extrusion‐based 3D bioprinting to create a hierarchically organized periosteum‐inspired in vitro platform. Spatially defined osteogenic, fibrous, and endothelial cell‐containing compartments support long‐term culture, osteogenic maturation, and CD31+ endothelial cell organization ...
