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.

A Noninvasive Approach to Study Localized Forces in 3D Epithelia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Epithelial morphogenesis depends on dynamic mechanical coupling between adhesion complexes and the cytoskeleton, yet its regulation in polarized 3D tissues remains elusive. We developed a noninvasive strategy using cell‐like elastic microbeads to quantify local forces in intact epithelia.

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.

A Coaxial Bioprinted Hydrogel With Semipermeable Sheath and Pro‐Chondrogenic Core for Articular Cartilage Repair

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A sheath‐core biomimetic hydrogel is engineered with a compartmentalized yet integrated architecture for synergistic multifunctionality. Its stiff, semipermeable sheath mimics the ECM's load‐bearing and protective roles, encapsulating a soft core that provides a pro‐chondrogenic microenvironment similar to the PCM.

Chemical Screening Identifies Danofloxacin as a Self‐Renewal Agonist of Embryonic Stem Cells through Alleviation of HDAC1‐Mediated Deacetylation of Tert and Prdm10

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified Danofloxacin as a novel supporter of the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotency. It functions partially by inhibiting HDAC1, which increases specific histone acetylation marks and activates key genes like Tert and Prdm10.
