Hydrogel‐Based Airway‐on‐Tube With Perfusable Endothelial Lumen and Outward Epithelialization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel‐based airway‐on‐tube platform featuring a perfusable endothelial lumen and outward epithelialization is presented. The system supports primary human bronchial epithelial and lung microvascular endothelial coculture under air‐liquid interface conditions.

Reconstruction of destruction – in vitro reconstitution methods in autophagy research

, 2018
International audienceAutophagy is one of the most elaborative membrane remodeling systems in eukaryotic cells. Its major function is to recycle cytoplasmic material by delivering it to lysosomes for degradation.

Charge‐Reversed Lipid Nanoparticles Enable Encapsulation of Pt2L4 Nanocages for In vivo Anti‐Cancer Treatment

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Charge‐reversed lipid nanoparticles (revLNPs) enable efficient encapsulation and delivery of cationic Pt2L4 nanocages. Encapsulation preserves potent anticancer activity while improving circulation, reducing vascular leakage, and promoting favorable biodistribution in vivo.

Stem Cells for Cartilage Repair: Preclinical Studies and Insights in Translational Animal Models and Outcome Measures

Stem Cells International, 2018
Due to the restricted intrinsic capacity of resident chondrocytes to regenerate the lost cartilage postinjury, stem cell-based therapies have been proposed as a novel therapeutic approach for cartilage repair.

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Defined Matrices Reveal Epithelial‐ and Mesenchymal‐Specific Responses to Stiffness and Adhesion in Human iPSC‐Derived Intestinal Organoids

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Defined PEG hydrogels enable human iPSC‐derived intestinal organoid culture without Matrigel. PEG‐ and Matrigel‐cultured organoids both support duodenal‐like epithelial identity, but direct comparison reveals subtle epithelial differentiation‐marker shifts and stronger mesenchymal ECM‐remodeling/integrin programs in PEG.

Ciliation and mucus secretion in an in vitro model of nasal mucosa based on CI-pNaEC cell line for preclinical drug testing

European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics
In preclinical development of nasal drug formulations, in vitro models of the nasal mucosa offer a viable alternative to animal testing. The novel cell line CI-pNaEC produces mucus and develops motile ciliation, thereby adequately emulating key characteristics of human nasal epithelium.
