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 ...

Cell Surface Thiol Engineering Mechanoregulates Myogenic Differentiation via the FAK–PI3K–AKT Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating how cell surface modification of skeletal muscle progenitor cells through TCEP treatment reveals enhanced cell adhesion, intracellular tension, and myogenesis at 19.66 kPa stiffness, leading to optimal cell fusion. In contrast, no significant changes are observed in the softer (10.61 kPa) or stiffer (49.4 kPa) matrices ...

A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...

A Novel Core–Shell Hydrogel 3D Model for Studying Macrophage Mechanosensing and Foreign Body Giant Cell Formation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The foreign body response (FBR) to biomaterials is primarily driven by macrophages, which often fuse into destructive foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). To address the limited understanding of FBGC formation, a novel microscale core–shell hydrogel 3D model is developed using heterogeneous alginate‐collagen microcapsules with varying stiffness, offering ...

Human Endometrial Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel Facilitated Endometrial Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Endometrial Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Adequate thickness of the uterine lining is crucial for women with thin or damaged endometrium to achieve pregnancies. Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) can facilitate the cyclical repair and regeneration of the human endometrium. In this study, the human endometrium derived extracellular matrix hydrogel supports the growth of eMSC promoting ...
