Acinar‐Derived Organoids Reveal Stage‐Specific Control of Acinar Plasticity
An acinar‐derived organoid system maintains adult pancreatic acinar identity ex vivo, converts it along an ordered acinar‐to‐ductal‐like trajectory, and then partially restores it. Each transition carries its own signal requirement, with EGF/EGFR initiating conversion and a staged glucocorticoid–IGF1R switch driving redifferentiation.

A Programmable Braided Silk‐Glass Fiber Ligament Promoting Rapid Motoric Recovery
A scalable three‐dimensional braiding strategy integrates silk and glass fibers into customizable artificial ligaments with programmable “J‐shaped” nonlinear mechanics. The silk‐rich architecture supports osseoligamentous integration, while glass fibers provide mechanical reinforcement and biomimetic mineralization cues, enabling strain‐adaptive load ...

CaMKIIδ–AUP1 signaling maintains PERK‐dependent ER homeostasis during ADM‐mediated pancreatic repair. ABSTRACT Pancreatic repair after acute pancreatitis (AP) is essential for restoring tissue integrity, but the intrinsic mechanisms coordinating acinar plasticity and regeneration remain poorly understood.

Gastric cancer metastasis should be considered according to its anatomical route, because lymphatic, peritoneal, and hematogenous dissemination involve partly distinct molecular mechanisms. This review summarizes metastasis pattern‐associated and pattern‐specific molecules identified using surgical specimens, evaluates their evidence and translational ...

A Generative AI Framework to Predict Cardiomyocyte Contraction Function From Single Static Images
A single static hiPSC‐cardiomyocyte image is fed into a U‐Net‐GAN framework, which directly predicts a pixel‐resolved contraction heatmap without time‐lapse imaging. StyleGAN2‐generated synthetic cell–heatmap pairs augment training, improving prediction fidelity (SSIM = 0.84).

Nanofabricated Biomaterials Model Tumor Extracellular Matrix Topography
The unique structure and composition of the tumor microenvironment and its associated extracellular matrix (ECM) exert profound effects on cancer cell behavior that are difficult to model in vitro. This perspective discusses the utility of nanofabricated biosubstrates, such as the novel collagen‐coated nanogrooved array, for recapitulating the ...
