Cell Membrane Vesicle Camouflaged Artificial Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial cells camouflaged with a cell membrane vesicle coating are able to assemble into synthetic aggregates that exhibit rudimentary communication capabilities. Additionally, when these artificial cells are equipped with antioxidant capabilities, they are able to protect the intracellular homeostasis in HepG2 cells present in semi‐synthetic ...

Bacteria‐Derived Extracellular Vesicle as A “Trojan Horse” for Selective M1 Macrophage‐Targeting in A Multi‐Cellular Entanglement Environment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The temporary transition of macrophages from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M1) to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M2) is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration processes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are utilized as a “trojan horse” for specific M1 macrophage‐targeting and anti‐inflammatory drug delivery ...

Double Cross‐Linked Hydrogel for Intra‐articular Injection as Modality for Macrophages Metabolic Reprogramming and Therapy of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel for intra‐articular injection for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is formulated and comprehensively studied. After administration, the hydrogel induces a metabolic reprogramming of immunometabolism of macrophages to trigger fatty acid oxidation subsequently inducing polarization of anti‐inflammatory M2 macrophages. This results in

Biocompatibility of Water‐Dispersible Pristine Graphene and Graphene Oxide Using a Close‐to‐Human Animal Model: A Pilot Study on Swine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene‐based materials are attracting considerable interest for biomedical applications. Analysis of their biocompatibility is required before their clinical translation, and swine represents an excellent close‐to‐human model. This study evaluates the toxicological and immunological impact of pristine graphene and graphene oxide through a compendium ...

3D Bioprinted Coaxial Testis Model Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells:A Step Toward Bicompartmental Cytoarchitecture and Functionalization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to model developmental processes makes them a promising source for engineering testicular tissues to study in vitro maturation and sperm production. This work describes the first hiPSC‐derived testicular model and shows that it captures functional aspects of prepubertal testicular tissues ...

Leveraging Organ‐on‐Chip Models to Investigate Host–Microbiota Dynamics and Targeted Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The challenges of studying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), highlighting limitations of traditional 2D cell cultures and animal models are discussed here. It introduces human intestine organ‐on‐chip (OoC) models as a promising alternative, capable of more accurately mimicking the intestinal microenvironment.

Probiotic‐Based Mineralized Living Materials to Produce Antimicrobial Yogurts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The self‐assembly and mineralization of collagen in the presence of probiotics produces hybrid living materials that hosts and protects the cells. Intra‐ and interfibrillar mineralization of collagen fibers, as occurring in bone, results, respectively, in a bulk and single‐cell protective layer of cells, that survive in simulated gastric conditions and,
