Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 9, April 4, 2025.
This review discusses kidney diseases with a focus on kidney fibrosis and the models currently used. It highlights the limitations of animal and 2D in vitro models in replicating human kidney anatomy and physiology. Consequently, there is a significant need for humanized 3D in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, membranes and hydrogels, on‐chip ...

Extracellular Matrix‐Mediated Crosslinking of Adhesive Hyaluronic Acid Patch for Treating Volumetric Muscle Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports a novel strategy for preparing a biocompatible adhesive hydrogel crosslinked with a muscle tissue‐derived extracellular matrix (MEM) for in situ muscle regeneration. As a natural crosslinker, MEM not only mediates combinatorial polymer networks but also stimulates satellite cells to induce a cell‐free therapeutic solution.

Synthetic Bilirubin‐Based Nanomedicine Protects Against Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Through Antioxidant and Immune‐Modulating Activity

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
BX‐001N, a polyethylene glycol‐conjugated bilirubin 3α nanoparticle, is the first GMP‐grade, synthetic bilirubin‐based nanomedicine. It effectively attenuates acute renal injury, facilitates subacute renal recovery, and suppresses chronic fibrosis after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury via anti‐oxidant and immune‐modulating activity.

Mechanically and Chemically Defined PEG Hydrogels Improve Reproducibility in Human Cardioid Development

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Synthetic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐degradable polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐based hydrogels are developed to investigate the influence of mechanical and biochemical cues on cardioid development. Matrix stiffness and cell adhesion motifs significantly regulate cardioid formation, chamber morphogenesis, contractile function, and cardioid transcriptome.
