Development of a Synthetic 3D Platform for Compartmentalized Kidney In Vitro Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A fully synthetic, compartmentalized 3D kidney disease model is introduced. The kidney model combines a PEG‐based hydrogel matrix with anisotropic, enzymatically degradable rod‐shaped microgels to spatially arrange a triple co‐culture of key renal epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast cells.

Strategies to Improve the Lipophilicity of Hydrophilic Macromolecular Drugs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrophilic macromolecular drugs can be successfully lipidized by covalent attachment of lipids, by hydrophobic ion pairing with negatively or positively charged surfactants, and by dry or wet reverse micelle formation. Lipophilicity enhancement of hydrophilic macromolecules has several benefits including stability and bioavailability improvement ...

Highly Tunable and Cell‐Remodelable Thiol‐ene Alginate‐Peptide Crosslinked Hydrogels to Recreate Cellular and Organoid Microenvironments for Biofabrication

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Norbornene‐functionalized alginate is crosslinked with a di‐thiolated peptide sequence cleavable by cell‐secreted matrix metalloproteinases and decorated with cell‐adhesion peptides upon exposure to UV. Thyroid follicles, endometrial and intestinal organoids are encapsulated in a gentle manner with high cell viability and correct phenotype ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
