Progress in developing microphysiological systems for biological product assessment.

Lab on a Chip
Microphysiological systems (MPS), also known as miniaturized physiological environments, have been engineered to create and study functional tissue units capable of replicating organ-level responses in specific contexts.

Gel‐Amin for Improving Extracellular Recordings of Cardiomyocytes in a 3D Microphysiological System

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work combines a conductive collagen‐based hydrogel with a laser‐cut and assembly technique to fabricate microphysiological systems that improve extracellular recordings of cardiomyocytes in 3D on microelectrode arrays. The inclusion of choline acrylate into GelMA imparts a higher electrical conductivity and improves the signal‐to‐noise ratio of on‐

Pediatric Developmental Safety Assessment: Are We Ready for the Next Thalidomide?

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pediatric drug development has achieved remarkable success in the last 20 years with over 1,000 products studied in pediatric patients. This success has been driven in part by an increased understanding of pediatric disease processes. The aspect that has been largely overlooked is the potential adverse effect of new drugs on pediatric developmental ...

Engineering Crosslinker‐Free Sericin–Gelatin Hydrogels With Tunable Rheology for 3D Printing Applications

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Gelatin derived from porcine tissue and sericin extracted from Bombyx mori cocoons are combined to form crosslinker‐free hydrogels with tunable composition, enabling extrusion‐based 3D printing and biocompatible constructs for biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Hydrogels can be processed by 3D printing to manufacture tailor made structures, broadening ...

Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.

Determining properties of human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes using spatially resolved electromechanical metrics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this study, we use human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC‐CM) experiments and computational modelling to identify the mechanism of action of drug compounds. In the hiPSC‐CM experiments, optical measurements of cell collections are recorded in the baseline case and after drug exposure.

A primary cell‐based fluidic co‐culture model to investigate drug transport across the human placenta

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of a flow‐driven in vitro model of the human placental barrier designed to study transport processes during pregnancy. The model recreates key features of the maternal–fetal interface, enabling the investigation of how nutrients and therapeutic compounds cross the placental barrier under physiologically ...
