Bone‐Derived dECM Hydrogels Support Tunable Microenvironments for In Vitro Osteogenic Differentiation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A tunable methacrylated decellularized bone matrix hydrogel (dECM‐MA) is developed to support 3D culture of human osteoblasts. The hydrogel preserves bone‐specific ECM cues and allows precise control over mechanical properties. This system provides a customizable platform for studying osteogenic differentiation and modeling bone tissue environments for

Bilirubin Sensing Using Organic Electrochemical Transistors: Role of Gate Materials and Operational Parameters

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores PEDOT:PSS‐based OECTs as sensitive bilirubin sensors, revealing that polarizable gate electrodes (Au, Pt, glassy carbon) enable detection while non‐polarizable Ag/AgCl gates suppress response. Operational parameters modulate current direction, suggesting complex interfacial dynamics.

A Modular Perfusion Bioreactor Platform for Simulating Bone Regeneration and Fracture Healing: Integrating Mechanical Loading and Dual Perfusion for Advanced In Vitro Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A modular bioreactor platform was developed in order to replicate bone homeostasis and pathology, thereby integrating mechanical loading, dynamic perfusion, and a 3D‐printed microfluidic chamber. With precise control of environmental parameters and dual perfusion for composite tissue models, the system enhances physiological relevance for studying bone
