One‐Step Curcumin‐Mediated Multiphoton Lithography for Bioactive 3D Scaffolds

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Curcumin‐mediated multiphoton lithography enables one‐step fabrication of highly architected complex gelatin methacryloyl scaffolds by exploiting curcumin as a multifunctional bioactive photoinitiator. The resulting 3D structures support mesenchymal stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration, while exhibiting dual antibacterial activity through ...

Roles of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in bacterial diseases

Journal of Biomedical Research, 2013
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) based cell therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for treatment of several degenerative, infectious and non-infectious diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the remarkable immunosuppressive and antibacterial effects of MSCs both in vitro and in vivo, in animal models and in humans.

Mesenchymal stem cells preserve their stem cell traits after exposure to antimetabolite chemotherapy

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) participate in the regeneration of tissue lesions induced by antimetabolite chemotherapy; however, the influence of this class of anti-cancer compounds on the stem cells remains largely unknown.

Hydrogel Microtube Drug Carrier for Catheter‐Based Intravascular Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This paper proposes hydrogel microtube carriers composed of barium alginate gel, enabling long‐term vascular retention without interrupting blood flow. Intravascular treatments have long been attracting attention for therapeutic efficacy, yet practical delivery methods remained unestablished.

Quantification of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) at Sites of Human Prostate Cancer [PDF]

Oncotarget, 2012
Circulating bone marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) have an innate tropism for tumor tissue in response to the inflammatory microenvironment present in malignant lesions. The prostate is bombarded by numerous infectious and inflammatory insults over a lifetime.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Encoded Cell‐Material Interactions to Reroute Cytokine Signaling for Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We present native MATRIX (Material Activated To Regulate Inducible gene eXpression), a co‐engineered material‐cell platform. Surfaces functionalized with antibodies for endogenous soluble ligands (e.g., IL‐1β or IL‐6) capture and immobilize ligands for presentation to a cognate, engineered synthetic Notch receptor, releasing a transcription factor (TF)

Recent Advances in Ferrite‐Based Materials for Biomedical Applications: A Comprehensive Review

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferrite nanoplatforms are presented as tunable biomedical materials in which synthesis control, cation engineering, defect/morphology regulation, and surface functionalization govern structure–property–bioactivity relationships. These design strategies enable multifunctional applications including MRI contrast, magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug ...
