Recent Advances in Cryogel Applications for Musculoskeletal Regeneration

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels have been widely used in tissue engineering due to their high‐water content and biocompatibility, yet their densely cross‐linked microstructure inherently limits cell infiltration, mass transport, and mechanical support. Cryogels, formed through partial freezing and crosslinking under subzero conditions, provide unique 3D macroporous

Beyond Joint Hypermobility: Investigating Bladder Dysfunction in Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is the most common subtype of Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders caused by collagen abnormalities. While musculoskeletal features of hEDS are well characterized, its impact on visceral organs, including the bladder, remains underexplored.
