Immunosuppressive Cytokine‐Tethered Hydrogel for Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An injectable hydrogel is developed by chemically tethering IL‐4, an immunosuppressive cytokine, to a hyaluronic acid‐based backbone. The hydrogel reduces joint friction and exerts immunomodulatory effects. In a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mouse model, it reduced inflammation, preserved cartilage, and promoted anti‐inflammatory immune responses.

Engineering a Human‐Sized Common Bile Duct Prototype with Regenerative Potential: In Vitro Evaluation of Mechanics, Function, Degradation, and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a multiphasic bile duct construct composed of biocompatible materials and cells, featuring an inner layer that supports biliary epithelium growth, a middle layer providing mechanical strength, and an outer cell‐permissive layer designed to support future in vivo integration.

Imiquimod‐Loaded Phospholipid‐Free Small Unilamellar Vesicles Activate the Tumor Immune Microenvironment to Treat Liver Cancer and Liver Metastases

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Imiquimod‐loaded nanoparticles (PFSUV‐IMQ) are found to decrease liver metastasis and liver tumor burden when administered intravenously. Flow cytometry, RNA‐seq and various experiments show that the anti‐tumor response is immune‐mediated by activating dendritic cells resulting in increased CD8 T cell infiltration and activity.

Impact of Nanoparticle Stiffness on Endosomal Escape and Signaling Pathways in Cytosolic Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoparticle (NP) stiffness affects cellular uptake, but its impact on intracellular distribution remains unclear. This study synthesizes silica nanocapsules with varying stiffness, inspired by viral mechanisms, and applies assays to measure cellular uptake and escape efficiency.

Ultra‐Tiny Gelatin Nanoparticles‐Assisted 3D Stem Cell Spheroids for Engineering Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
GNPs effectively guide the formation of structurally compact and functionally enhanced stem cell spheroids. This GNP‐assisted 3D culture system improves cell–cell and cell‐ECM interactions, leading to superior viability and complexity. Time‐dependent regenerative potential is demonstrated in both bone and skin defects, positioning GNP‐spheroids as a ...
