Microphysiological Solid Tumor Models in Hydrogel Beads for CAR T Cell Immunotherapy Evaluation
The complex physical and biochemical barriers of the tumor microenvironment are major triggers of immune exclusion. Here, a 3D micrometastasis model is developed to mimic key microenvironmental cues, enabling in vitro evaluation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy. Abstract Micrometastases are challenging to resect surgically and to

Physiological flow (0.5 Pa) conditioning promotes resilience of an iPSC‐derived blood–brain barrier endothelium to mild systemic inflammation. In contrast, high “cytokine storm” levels induce barrier breakdown, fibrinogen leakage, and astrocyte activation, reconstituting the two‐hit injury mechanism on‐a‐chip.

Biocompatible Mesoporous Materials for Bone Therapy
Biocompatible mesoporous materials (BMMs), characterized by high specific surface area, tunable pore size, different shapes and structures, and multidimensional functionalized modifications, have revolutionary applications in treating bone‐related diseases.

Leukemic blasts induce membrane depolarization in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), contributing to a dysfunctional niche that favors leukemia progression. Here, it is demonstrated that restoring the expression of CaV1.2 calcium channel in AML‐MSCs repolarizes their membrane potential, reprogramming them toward a healthy phenotype.

The ANGPTL8/PIRB/ALOX5AP axis mediates liver‐kidney crosstalk. Hepatocytes secrete ANGPTL8, which binds to CCR2+PIRB+ macrophages in the kidneys, affecting the expression of ALOX5AP and enhancing the activation of these macrophages. Activated cells produce TGF‐β, IL‐6, and IL‐23, driving Th17 activation and promote the formation of myofibroblasts ...
