Secretome Profiling in Axon Regeneration: Emerging Techniques and Therapeutic Translation
ABSTRACT The secretome refers to the in vivo ensemble of molecular entities that are found in interstitial spaces. It is then the mere secreted products of the cells, as all biomolecules in the interstitial cellular spaces also undergo modifications. The fractionated secretome may hold potential as a cell‐free therapy option due to its role in tissue ...

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

Murphy et al present an optimized co‐culture protocol for immortalized cell line vasculogenesis. Here, immortalized co‐cultures form reproducible microvessel networks across 31‐days, while gradient microchips enable simultaneous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) adipogenesis and endothelial cell (EC) vasculogenesis.

Bridging the Gap: How Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Technology Facilitates the Battle against Glioma
This review critically evaluates current state‐of‐the‐art in vitro glioma models especially glioma‐on‐a‐chip models based on readout capability, performance, and physiological relevance. It summarizes the key parameters and proposes a practical framework to guide researchers in selecting the most suitable preclinical models for glioma studies.
