Engineering Volumetric Tissue Analogs via Assembly of Endothelial Cell‐Covered Spheroidal Microtissues

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An engineering strategy to fabricate highly vascularized volumetric tissues with capillary networks is developed. Endothelial cell‐covered spheroidal microtissues with high structural integrity are efficiently produced using bioprinting technology. These spheroidal microtissues are then assembled and cultured under perfusion conditions, resulting in ...

Bilirubin Sensing Using Organic Electrochemical Transistors: Role of Gate Materials and Operational Parameters

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores PEDOT:PSS‐based OECTs as sensitive bilirubin sensors, revealing that polarizable gate electrodes (Au, Pt, glassy carbon) enable detection while non‐polarizable Ag/AgCl gates suppress response. Operational parameters modulate current direction, suggesting complex interfacial dynamics.

A Heparin‐Functionalized Scaffold with HB‐EGF Immobilization for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a heparin‐functionalized scaffold is designed for bio‐mimicking growth factors reservoir function of extracellular matrix. Due to the presence of heparin‐binding domain, heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) is effectively and spatially captured by heparin‐functionalized scaffold.

Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid: A Gateway for Targeted Killing of Staphylococcus aureus on the Race for Surface Colonization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Thiolated hyaluronic acid (HAMS) synthesized and characterized by NMR, solubility, thiol content, and pKa, is degraded by Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase but not by mammalian hyaluronidase. Coating polyphosphate–M23 phage endolysin nanoparticles (M23‐PP) with HAMS confers Staphylococcus aureus responsiveness.
