Matrix Tropism Influences Endometriotic Cell Attachment Patterns

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of substrate stiffness and multicellular coculture on endometriotic cell attachment to extracellular matrix‐laden microarrayed islands is reported. This model investigates early endometriotic cell attachment, aiming to capture “lesion initiation events”.

Five-year outcomes of one anastomosis gastric bypass as conversional surgery following sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss failure

Scientific Reports, 2022
The most accepted procedures as conversion for poor weight changes after sleeve gastrectomy (SG), are malabsorptive surgeries. This study was designed to evaluate the 5-year outcomes of One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) following SG due to weight ...

Plasma‐Treated Hydrogel for Combined RONS and Chemotherapy Delivery: A Proof‐of‐Concept In Ovo

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores plasma‐treated hydrogels (PTH) as a new way to deliver both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and chemotherapy (Doxorubicin) directly to tumors. In ovo tests show effects after a single dose, especially in osteosarcoma tumors. Tumor weight decrease, and a resistance‐related protein is reduced.

The modified pancreatic stent system for prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis: a case-control study

BMC Gastroenterology, 2017
Background Prophylactic pancreatic stents after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can help prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis. However most of the pancreatic stents need to be removed by another ERCP.

Aptamer Functionalized Hydrogel Dressings for Post‐Surgery Tumor Recurrence Inhibition and Tissue Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Post‐surgical tumor therapy struggles with recurrence and inefficient healing. Anti‐tumor DNA aptamer functionalized gelatin hydrogels, Apt‐GelMA, simultaneously address both issues by suppressing tumor regrowth via targeted tumor cell inhibition and enhancing wound healing through improved cell adhesion and migration. Their biocompatibility, stability,

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
