A Multidimensional Engineering Strategy Reprograms Microglia via Targeted and Sustained‐Release Extracellular Vesicles for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional EV‐based nanoplatform (Ang‐TEVs@Gel) was engineered via preconditioning, surface targeting, and ROS‐responsive hydrogel encapsulation to reprogram microglia. This system restored autophagy via miR‐664a‐3p/PIK3CA axis, cleared myelin debris, resolved neuroinflammation, and promoted axon remyelination, ultimately achieving robust motor ...

Intrasplenic Thymus Organogenesis from Injectable Tissue Fragments Restores Functional T‐Cell Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Clinical intramuscular thymus transplantation yields only short‐lived efficacy and marginal therapeutic benefits. Benefiting from the spleen's intrinsic strengths—rapid vascular perfusion, abundant developmental factors, and resident progenitors—the intrasplenic thymic grafts achieve robust thymic regeneration and substantial T‐cell reconstitution ...

A Modular Variable Stiffness Co‐Bot System Achieving Tasks Flexibility and Contact Compliance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired antagonistic compliance enables a modular rigid‐soft co‐bot platform with variable stiffness for safe human‐robot interaction (HRI): Standardized interfaces support application‐driven configurations with tailored DoFs, workspace, and stiffness range, making the system suited to HRI and low‐volume automation.

Matrix Stiffness Orchestrates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Lineage Commitment Toward Osteogenesis and Adipogenesis Through the PIEZO1/SP1/STC2 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Matrix stiffness directs mesenchymal stem cell lineage commitment through PIEZO1‐dependent activation of the SP1/STC2 pathway. Stiff matrices favor osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis, whereas the loss of PIEZO1 function impairs early bone formation. STC2 retains lineage‐regulatory activity even when PIEZO1 is inactive.

Epitenon-derived progenitors drive fibrosis and regeneration after flexor tendon injury in a spatially-dependent manner

Nature Communications
Flexor tendon injuries are common and heal poorly owing to both the deposition of function-limiting peritendinous scar tissue and insufficient healing of the tendon itself.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) empowering tendon regenerative therapies

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Tendon injury is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders that severely affect patients’ daily lives. Unfortunately, naturally healed tendons exhibit poor quality, as they have very limited regenerative ability.

Unravelling the Distinct Phenotype and Mechanosensitive Properties of Different Tendon Cell Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tendon interfascicular and fascicular matrix cells are isolated and cultured, revealing distinct phenotypes and mechanosensitive responses. Interfascicular matrix cells exhibit marked stiffness‐dependent phenotypic plasticity, whereas fascicular matrix cells remain comparatively stable.

Serum Advanced Glycation End Products as Drivers of Poor Tendon Outcomes in Diabetes? An Emerging Hypothesis and Narrative Review

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism
Introduction Tendon injuries in individuals with diabetes are difficult to reverse, and the mechanisms driving poor healing, extracellular matrix disruption, and altered biomechanics remain poorly understood. Many individuals with prediabetes or diabetes

The role of macrophage polarization in tendon healing and therapeutic strategies: Insights from animal models

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Tendon injuries, a common musculoskeletal issue, usually result in adhesions to the surrounding tissue, that will impact functional recovery. Macrophages, particularly through their M1 and M2 polarizations, play a pivotal role in the inflammatory and ...

MAPA: A Semantic Network Framework for Functional Module Discovery and Interpretation in Multi‐Omics Data

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MAPA transforms complex multi‐omics data into biologically coherent functional modules by integrating pathway information with molecular interaction networks. Retrieval‐augmented large language models then generate structured, literature‐informed interpretations.
