Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing of Drug‐Loaded Intravitreal Implants

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective laser sintering enables the fabrication of biodegradable and biocompatible intravitreal implants with tunable microstructures for sustained drug delivery. By modulating laser scanning speed, the polymer matrix architecture is engineered to control the release kinetics of dexamethasone and riboflavin over several months. This approach offers a

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...
