Modeling Early Metastatic Progression in Breast Cancer Using a Barrier‐Free, Perfusable Spheroid‐on‐a‐Chip Platform

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐port, barrier‐free microfluidic device for modeling early metastatic progression. A centrally positioned tumor spheroid releases invasive cells that migrate through the surrounding matrix and intravasate into endothelialized lateral channels.

Fabrication of Aligned Polycaprolactone Nanofibrillar Bundles to Control Cell‐Mediated Collagen Deposition in Engineered Cartilage

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Melt electrofibrillation (MEF) enables the fabrication of nanofibrillar PCL scaffolds with defined architectures that guide cellular alignment and retention during cartilage tissue engineering. Unlike conventional melt electrowriting, MEF consistently directs collagen type II‐rich extracellular matrix organization, providing a tunable platform to ...

Surface Functionalization Modulates Collective Cell Behavior Near Topological Defects Induced by Topographical Patterning

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Strongly adhered cells align with concentric circular ridges and exhibit predominantly tangential motion, whereas weakly adhered cells fail to follow topographical guidance and display enhanced radial inward motion. ABSTRACT Living cells establish long‐range orientational order through collective alignment, giving rise to topological defects whose ...

Bilayered PEDOT:PSS–Collagen Scaffolds as Functional Architectures for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A bilayered scaffold integrates collagen and PEDOT:PSS as distinct yet interconnected 3D matrices, preserving their fibrillar and conductive characteristics. Spatial compartmentalization enables independent tailoring of each domain while maintaining mechanical stability and compatibility with electrochemical monitoring, providing a multifunctional ...
