Self-Exploding Lipid-Coated Microgels [PDF]
Biomacromolecules, 2005 Self-exploding microparticles show potential for advanced delivery of certain therapeutics. This study evaluates (1) whether degrading biodegradable dextran hydroxyethyl methacrylate (dex-HEMA) microgels can be coated by a lipid membrane and (2) whether the surrounding membrane can be ruptured by the increasing swelling pressure of the degrading ...

Cardiac‐Derived ECM Microspheres for Enhanced hiPSC‐CMs Maturation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cardiac extracellular matrix microspheres derived from decellularized porcine heart provide a biomimetic 3D microenvironment for human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). This platform supports short‐ and long‐term culture, enhances structural organization, and promotes electrophysiological and functional maturation of ...

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.

Licensing microgels prolong the immunomodulatory phenotype of mesenchymal stromal cells
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are sensors of inflammation, and they exert immunomodulatory properties through the secretion of cytokines and exosomes and direct cell-cell interactions.
