Fluid Shear‐Controlled Pro/Anti‐Inflammatory Osteomodulatory Construct for Drug‐Free Immune Activation Through Cationic Ion Channel Activation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed PCL scaffold coated with Arginine was laminated with electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers containing cationic cellulose nanocrystals (PVA@cCNC). This created nanoisland‐like regions of aligned and random cCNC‐rich fibers. The composite scaffold, under fluid shear stimulation, modulated macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 ...

A Targeted Redox‐Active Dual‐Action Pt(IV)‐Mn(II) Prodrug Displays Enhanced In Vivo Anticancer Activity

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A new oxaliplatin‐based Pt(IV) prodrug bearing a Mn(II) superoxide dismutase mimic is synthesized and studied, in vitro and in vivo, in the context of colorectal cancer. Encapsulation of this prodrug in an easy‐to‐implement PEGylated micelle formulation demonstrated the highest in vivo anticancer activity among all the tested conditions, supporting the
