Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

Morphogen Transport in Epithelia
We present a general theoretical framework to discuss mechanisms of morphogen transport and gradient formation in a cell layer. Trafficking events on the cellular scale lead to transport on larger scales. We discuss in particular the case of transcytosis

HMGB1 derived from the pyroptotic environment in Hirschsprung‐associated enterocolitis mediates the formation of macrophage extracellular traps through TLR4 ‐p38 MAPK/p65 NF‐kB signaling pathways. Macrophage extracellular traps induce increased ROS production and pyroptosis of colonic epithelial cells.

Scalable Fabrication of Height‐Variable Microstructures with a Revised Wetting Model
Height‐variable microstructures are fabricated using a scalable CO2 laser machining approach, enabling precise control of wettability through structural gradients. Classical wetting models fail to capture height‐induced effects, necessitating a revised theoretical framework.

MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF THE EPIDERMAL EXTRACELLULAR SPACES [PDF]
The skin is a protective cover that participates in the homeostatic regulation of internal fluids by preventing the passage of water, electrolytes and proteins into the external environment. The functional integrity of the skin is maintained through the interaction of the epidermis with the dermis. The epidermis is a tissue arranged in cellular layers.
