Longer Acting Injectable: Continuous, Linear Release of a Progestin Contraceptive From an Oxidized Porous Silicon Host

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Progestin drugs are loaded into a mesoporous silicon dioxide host by melt‐infiltration. Drugs that decompose at or close to their melting point can be loaded by the addition of cholesterol, which acts as a melting point suppressor. High mass loading of the drug is achieved, and dissolution of the composite is controlled by the nanoscale properties of ...

Structural Motifs in Soft Fibrous Tissues: Revealing Structure‐Mechanics Relationships in Deformation and Tear Resistance for Biomimetic Material Design

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how soft fibrous tissues achieve their remarkable mechanical behavior through recurring structural motifs across multiple length scales. It highlights key advances in mimicking these features using fiber‐reinforced hydrogels and hierarchical composites, offering insights into mechanical compatibility, flaw tolerance, and tear ...

Fluid Shear‐Controlled Pro/Anti‐Inflammatory Osteomodulatory Construct for Drug‐Free Immune Activation Through Cationic Ion Channel Activation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed PCL scaffold coated with Arginine was laminated with electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers containing cationic cellulose nanocrystals (PVA@cCNC). This created nanoisland‐like regions of aligned and random cCNC‐rich fibers. The composite scaffold, under fluid shear stimulation, modulated macrophage polarization from M1 to M2 ...

Decoding Hydrogel Porosity: Advancing the Structural Analysis of Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Porosity governs transport mechanics in hydrogels, yet characterization in its native state remains challenging. This work harnesses particle tracking to uncover three‐dimensional pore geometric features in polyethylene glycol hydrogels. Measurements in the native state reveal pores characteristics are comparable to those obtained by cryogenic scanning

Conditioned Media from Mechanically Stimulated Macrophages Upregulate Osteogenic Genes in Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bone fracture healing is a complex, timely orchestrated scenario involving multiple cell types and a plethora of cytokines and regulatory factors. To gain further insight, an in vitro model to a) study macrophage polarization under mechanical load in a fibrin hydrogel and b) subsequently assess the effect of conditioned media derived from macrophages ...

Rolling Ultrasharp Microneedle Spheres Enable Topical Delivery of Biologics Through the Skin

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Rolling ultraminiaturized microneedle spheres (RUMS), created via two‐photon polymerization, unlock effective and painless topical delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) and drugs through the skin. By gently forming thousands of microscopic pores, RUMS boost skin permeability by up to 100‐fold.

Toward Noninvasively Imaging pH at the Surface of Implanted Orthopedic Devices in Live Rabbits Using X‐ray Excited Luminescence Chemical Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Imaging pH in a live rabbit at the surface of a sensor‐coated titanium plate using X‐ray excited luminescent chemical imaging (XELCI). A raster scanning X‐ray beam generates radioluminescence from a spot on the sensor, and the luminescence passes through the tissue and is collected at two wavelengths to determine local pH.
