Toward Noninvasively Imaging pH at the Surface of Implanted Orthopedic Devices in Live Rabbits Using X‐ray Excited Luminescence Chemical Imaging

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Imaging pH in a live rabbit at the surface of a sensor‐coated titanium plate using X‐ray excited luminescent chemical imaging (XELCI). A raster scanning X‐ray beam generates radioluminescence from a spot on the sensor, and the luminescence passes through the tissue and is collected at two wavelengths to determine local pH.

Ultra‐Tiny Gelatin Nanoparticles‐Assisted 3D Stem Cell Spheroids for Engineering Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
GNPs effectively guide the formation of structurally compact and functionally enhanced stem cell spheroids. This GNP‐assisted 3D culture system improves cell–cell and cell‐ECM interactions, leading to superior viability and complexity. Time‐dependent regenerative potential is demonstrated in both bone and skin defects, positioning GNP‐spheroids as a ...
