Endothelial Cells Angiogenesis in Sulfated Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Hydrogels Enhanced by Bioactive Glass‐Released Ions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically tunable hydrogel composed of gelatin, chondroitin sulfate and laminin promotes angiogenesis in vitro without the supplement of growth factors. Endothelial cells morphogenesis was further enhanced by medium conditioned with bioactive glass 58S‐released ions (Ca and Si), thus offering a promising strategy to vascularize 3D tissue ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Xeno‐Free Biocompatible Peptide‐Based Bioinks Reinforced with Cellulose Nanofibers for 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A xeno‐free bioink combining self‐assembled peptides and cellulose nanofibers is developed for 3D printing. The bioink forms a non‐cross‐linked 3D scaffold, mimicking the extracellular matrix and supporting over 95% cell viability. This approach offers enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical stability, advancing 3D printing for personalized medicine ...
