Human Skin Models in Biophotonics: Materials, Methods, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses how the optical properties of human skin can be replicated in human skin models. It describes the principles, materials, and techniques used to develop artificial skin for biophotonics research. Finally, the article highlights recent advances and shows how these models improve the study of light‐skin interactions without the need ...

Mechanical Reinforced and Self‐healing Hydrogels: Bioprinted Biomimetic Methacrylated Collagen Peptide‐Xanthan Gum Constructs for Ligament Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Readily UV‐curing and self‐healing methacrylated collagen peptide (COPMA) hydrogels are developed with tunable mechanical properties. As the interpenetrating network between COPMA and xanthan gum (XG), COPMA‐XG bioinks show improved mechanical properties, printability, and stability, compared to COPMA or XG.

Integrin β4‐Enriched Small Extracellular Vesicle as Drug Delivery Vehicle for Targeting Pulmonary Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The expression of integrin β4 (ITGβ4) on small extracellular vesicle (sEV) correlates with lung‐tropism. Enrichment of ITGβ4 on sEVs enhances their lung‐targeting ability. The sEVs loaded with doxorubicin exhibit superior therapeutic efficacy in a lung metastasis mouse model.

Poly(hydroxy‐oxazolidone) Thermoplastic Elastomers for Safer, Greener and Customizable Blood‐Contacting Medical Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A poly(hydroxy‐oxazolidone) (PHOx) is synthesized from CO2‐based precursors, enabling the up‐cycling of this waste material. After synthesis, PHOx shows thermoplastic properties, and can therefore be processed by many temperature‐dependent techniques. PHOx is hemocompatible, anti‐adhesive, and biocompatible, which is demonstrated in vitro and in vivo ...

3D Bioprinting‐Assisted Engineering of Stem Cell‐Laden Hybrid Biopatches With Distinct Geometric Patterns Considering the Mechanical Characteristics of Regular and Irregular Connective Tissues

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid biopatch platform integrating 3D printed polymeric patterns with stem cell‐laden collagen bioinks is developed to mimic the mechanical properties of connective tissues. By tailoring geometric architectures, the constructs replicate anisotropic or isotropic mechanics, enhancing tissue‐specific regeneration.
