From Cell‐Derived Vesicles to Hybrid Nanovectors: Biological Membranes as Functional Blueprints for Gene Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Biologically derived and hybrid nonviral nanovectors are examined as distinct but convergent design approaches. Integrating synthetic components with biologically functionalized membranes allows efficient interactions with complex cellular environments.

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

Diabetes affects endothelial cell function and alters fibrin clot formation in a microvascular flow model: A pilot study

Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research, 2020
Diabetes is a proinflammatory and prothrombotic condition that increases the risk of vascular complications. The aim of this study was to develop a diabetic microvascular flow model that allows to study the complex interactions between endothelial cells,

Blood–Brain Barrier Regulation: Evolving From Classic Strategies to Electrochemical Ion and Reactive Oxygen Species Control

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional therapies suffer from poor blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration and disordered ion/reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, hindering precise neurological treatment. Electrochemical strategies achieve accurate spatiotemporal regulation of neural homeostasis.

Bioinformatics analysis of coronary microvascular dysfunction in rats based on single-cell RNA sequencing

Scientific Reports
Coronary microvascular dysfunction serves as one of the etiological factors for ischemic heart disease and represents a novel therapeutic direction for coronary artery diseases; however, the research on its pathogenesis remains inconsistent.

Intervention of exogenous VEGF protect brain microvascular endothelial cells from hypoxia-induced injury by regulating PLCγ/RAS/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways

Experimental Gerontology
Ischemic stroke rapidly increases the expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promotes neovascularization during hypoxia.

The Role of PGE2 in Alveolar Epithelial and Lung Microvascular Endothelial Crosstalk

Scientific Reports, 2017
Disruption of the blood-air barrier, which is formed by lung microvascular endothelial and alveolar epithelial cells, is a hallmark of acute lung injury. It was shown that alveolar epithelial cells release an unidentified soluble factor that enhances the
