ABSTRACT Valvular heart disease (VHD) represents a significant global health challenge, affecting over 2.5% of the population and disproportionately impacting older adults due to age‐related degenerative processes. Current treatment options—mechanical and bioprosthetic valves—both present substantial limitations that impact patient quality of life and ...

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Abstract Purpose Meniscal tears are common knee injuries and a major risk factor for secondary osteoarthritis. Recently, there has been a paradigm shift toward meniscal preservation, reflecting the meniscus's vital role. In this context, tissue engineering approaches such as the development of meniscal scaffolds have gained attention.
