Biphasic Granular Bioinks for Biofabrication of High Cell Density Constructs for Dermal Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a biphasic granular bioink (µInk) that enables 3D bioprinting of high cell density constructs for dermal regeneration. The bioink promotes cell proliferation, ECM deposition, and neovascularization, leading to tissue integration and reduced scar formation in vivo.

Therapeutic Implants: Mechanobiologic Enhancement of Osteogenic, Angiogenic, and Myogenic Responses in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on 3D‐Printed Titanium Truss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates a synergistic effect between 3D‐printed surface features and mechanical micro‐strain in enhancing the osteogenic, angiogenic, and myogenic responses of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Load‐induced mechanotransduction, facilitated by the implant's architectural design, significantly amplifies hMSC differentiation.

Regulation of PDGFRα+ cells and ICC in progesterone-mediated slow colon transit in pregnant mice

Heliyon
Background: Progesterone can inhibit intestinal smooth muscle contraction; however, the specific mechanism remains unclear. Besides smooth muscle cells, smooth muscle has two important mesenchymal cells, namely interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and ...

Microscopically Adaptable Bioink Guide Cell Compartmentalization toward Morphogenesis of a Functional Vasculature‐Like System

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Contractile vasculatures are fabricated through a one‐step bioprinting strategy. The adaptable microenvironment provided by ECM‐mimicking bioink triggers cell sorting and compartmentalization of endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells toward a histological configuration by focal adhesion kinase‐mediated upregulation of cell adhesion and ...
