Beyond Potency: Emerging Determinants and Optimization Strategies Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy of Adult Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Adult stem cell therapy requires more than high in vitro potency. This review proposes a systems framework in which cell‐intrinsic programs, instructive microenvironmental cues, and pre‐/post‐delivery engineering are co‐designed under standardized translational rules.

Xenogeneic acellular conjunctiva matrix as a scaffold of tissue-engineered corneal epithelium. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Amniotic membrane-based tissue-engineered corneal epithelium has been widely used in the reconstruction of the ocular surface. However, it often degrades too early to ensure the success of the transplanted corneal epithelium when treating patients with ...

A Plant Photoregulator‐Inspired S‐Type Heterojunction System for Diabetic Keratopathy via Tri‐Modal Light‐Driven Immunometabolic Reprogramming, Tissue Repair, and Antibacterial Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the multifaceted imbalance in diabetic keratopathy, a light‐responsive biomimetic platform (WCNx‐Rh2) is developed and integrates glucose degradation, immune modulation, and antibacterial defense through a designed heterojunction and screened immunomodulator. WCNx‐Rh2 reduces AGEs/ROS and inflammatory signaling, reprogramming dendritic cells

ApoE‐ and Cfh‐deficient mice exhibit structural and molecular features of human early–intermediate retinal degeneration

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) involves lipid dysregulation and complement overactivation. Here, we characterize a double‐knockout ApoE−/−/Cfh−/− mouse as a model of early–intermediate retinal degeneration. These mice exhibit retinal pigment epithelium thinning, Bruch's membrane thickening, lipid accumulation, enhanced C5b‐9 deposition ...

Spatial Cell Death and Oxidative Stress Dynamics in Gas Plasma‐Treated Tumor Tissues

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the four experimental models to study tissue penetration and oxidation. Four tissue models were used. Human pancreatic cancer cells were grown on the chorioallantois membrane of chicken embryos and gas plasma‐treated in ovo, murine colorectal tumor tissue was gas plasma‐exposed ex vivo, murine squamous cell carcinoma cells ...

Understanding the spacing of placodes in the eye: A comparative study across age and species

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The conjunctival placodes of the avian eye form in an intriguing and conserved sequence in a circular annulus around the cornea. These 13–16 placodes develop into papillae that are essential for inducing underlying intramembranous flat bones, known as scleral ossicles, which form an important part of the ocular skeleton.

A Case of Solitary Nonvascularized Corneal Epithelial Dysplasia

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2016
Background. Epithelial dysplasia is categorized as conjunctival/corneal intraepithelial neoplasia which is a precancerous lesion. The lesion is usually developed at the limbal region and grows towards central cornea in association with neovascularization

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.
