Impact of Fiber Orientation in Electrospun PLA Scaffolds on Fluid Dynamics in a Custom Microfluidic Device

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fiber orientation in electrospun scaffolds affects permeability and fluid dynamics in microfluidic devices. Combining experimental data with computational fluid dynamic simulations, we show that aligned fibers enhance flow uniformity, reduce pressure and shear stress variability.

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to

Effect of Nanoparticle Rigidity on the Interaction of Stromal Membrane Particles with Leukemia Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Cell membrane nanoparticles made with stromal cells are prepared and used to target leukemia cells. Deposition of the cell membrane onto rigid silica cores leads to increased uptake both in leukemia cell lines and primary cells from patients. These results show that nanoparticle rigidity affects the interaction between cell membrane nanoparticles and ...

Animal‐Free Setup of a 3D Mature Adipocyte‐Macrophage Co‐Culture to Induce Inflammation In Vitro

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A completely animal‐free 3D co‐culture is developed using human fat cells and immune cells. Animal‐based materials are replaced with gellan gum hydrogel and a serum‐free medium. Immune cells are effectively activated, producing specific inflammatory signals.

An Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Strain‐Controlled, Tissue‐Specific Compression of Cartilage and Mineralized Osteochondral Interface to Study Mechanical Overloading in Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...
