Matrix Viscoelasticity Orchestrates Osteogenesis via Mechanotransduction Mediated Metabolic Switch in Macrophages

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fast‐relaxation viscoelastic hydrogel triggers a metabolic shift in macrophages, favoring oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) over glycolysis via vasodilator‐stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) / hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1α) signaling meditated mechanotransdution, thereby enhancing their capacity to recruit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and ...

Light‐Activatable Hyaluronic Acid‐Derivatives Releasing Nitric Oxide and Their Delivery in the Skin

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores the development of photoactivatable hyaluronic acid (HA) derivatives functionalized with nitric oxide (NO) photodonors for light‐controlled therapeutic applications. The HA derivatives demonstrate enhanced keratinocyte proliferation and migration, effective NO release, and skin penetration when formulated as microemulsions.
