Water‐Activated Phospholipid Phase‐Separation Gel as an Immunomodulatory Anti‐Adhesion Barrier for Postoperative Adhesion Prevention

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A water‐activated phospholipid phase‐separation gel is repurposed as a drug‐free surgical barrier for postoperative adhesion prevention. Propylene glycol promotes rapid lamellar gel reinforcement, prolonged local retention, and tissue coverage, while phosphatidylcholine‐mediated immunomodulation suppresses inflammatory and fibrotic responses. This dual‐

Evodiamine attenuates chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy by mediating macrophage M2 polarization and inhibiting the upregulation of the p38 MAPK-TRPV1 axis in rat dorsal root ganglia

Molecular Pain
Purpose: To investigate evodiamine’s analgesic effects and molecular mechanisms on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), focusing on the p38/MAPK-TRPV1 signaling axis and macrophage polarization in dorsal root ganglia (DRG).

Treatment of silicosis with quercetin depolarizing macrophages via inhibition of mitochondrial damage-associated pyroptosis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Macrophage polarization facilitates the inflammatory response and intensified fibrosis in the silicosis microenvironment by a mechanism related to macrophage pyroptosis, although the upstream target remains poorly defined.

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

A Hybrid Bioprinting–Microfabrication Approach to Controllable Multitype Spheroid Arrays for Modeling Tumor Heterogeneity

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a “cancer‐in‐a‐well” technology that recreates tumor heterogeneity in vitro using multitype spheroid arrays. Combining bioprinting/microdispensing with microstructured culture devices, the system improves drug screening and modeling of tumor complexity.

Near‐Infrared Light‐Activated Polydopamine Nanoparticles Conjugated With Transferrin Peptides for Enhanced Brain Accumulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Tf‐PDA NPs combine a receptor‐mediated targeting with mild photothermal activation to enhance nanoparticle accumulation in the brain. NIR‐activated Tf‐PDA NPs increase BBB permeability to NPs in vitro and in vivo without inducing cytotoxicity or adverse immune responses.

Demo 24-05 Polarization by Reflection

, 2001
Light waves can be polarized by reflection from a dielectric surface, as shown in Figure 1. The amount of polarization depends on the angle at which the light strikes the surface, with the maximum effect occurring at an angle called the Brewster angle,

Polarization of Tumor-Associated Macrophages by Chinese Medicine Intervention: Mechanisms and Applications

, 2020
Macrophage polarization is a spectrum of phenotypes and generally can be classified into two states: (1) classically activated or M1 macrophages, which can be driven by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alone or in association with Th1 cytokines and produce pro ...

A cardinal role for cathepsin D in co-ordinating the host-mediated apoptosis of macrophages and killing of pneumococci [PDF]

, 2011
The bactericidal function of macrophages against pneumococci is enhanced by their apoptotic demise, which is controlled by the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1.
