Characterization of an Injectable Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin Hydrogel for Growth Factor Delivery in an Orthopedic Application

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces photo‐crosslinkable tyraminated poly(vinyl alcohol)‐gelatin (PVA‐GT) hydrogels as tunable injectable platforms for tissue engineering and growth factor delivery applications. This schematic illustrates the two developed hydrogel formulations and the experimental workflow used to evaluate their physico‐chemical properties in vitro ...

MicroRNA-203 Acts as a Potent Suppressor in Septic Shock by Alleviating Lung Injury via Inhibition of VNN1

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2019
Background: Septic shock, the most serious complication of sepsis, is a life-threatening disease that is mainly characterized by hypoperfusion and multiple organ failure. Various aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be related to

Efficacy of 4-hour rescue therapeutic plasma exchange in severe septic shock patients

Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
Background.Early intervention for septic shock is crucial to reduce mortality and improve outcome. There is still a great debate over the exact time of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) administration in septic shock patients.

Dual‐Functional Polyphosphoesters for Gene Delivery: Synergistic Effects of Guanidinium and Hydrophobic Side Chains in Degradable Polymers

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents guanidinium‐ and indole‐functionalized polyphosphoesters as degradable, non‐viral gene delivery vectors. Through precise tuning of charge density and hydrophobicity, these polymers form stable polyplexes with low toxicity. Remarkably, minor structural changes yield up to 200‐fold differences in transfection efficiency, highlighting ...

Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Extracellular vesicle-bound S100A8/A9 is differentially expressed in septic shock and prompts acute lung injury

Respiratory Research
Background Sepsis is a common indirect insult leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of sepsis.
