IBD is driven by a vicious cycle of dysbiosis, barrier dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. We developed an inulin–butyrate conjugate nanogel (IBN) that accumulates in inflamed colon and releases butyrate via microbial inulinase/esterase. The inulin shell remodels the microbiome, while localized butyrate strengthens barrier integrity and promotes ...

This work explores the tailored functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) to improve the oral delivery of insulin, as a case study. Insulin confinement within silica mesopores increased drug solubility, and co‐formulation with succinylated β‐lactoglobulin yielded pH‐responsive tablets that limited gastric release and proteolysis, while

This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

Space biomedicine‐oriented bioink and biomimetic blood‒brain barrier
Bioinks and bioprinting play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of cell models and the fabrication of tissue models for space biomedicine research. This study investigated the effects of hypergravity and vibration on two‐dimensional adherent cells and three‐dimensional embedded cells and provided methods for storing hybrid bioink and high ...

immunoHuMiX: A personalizable gut‐on‐chip model for unraveling human microbiome–immune interactions
The study introduces a personalized gut model that brings together human immune cells and intestinal cells to better mimic how the body interacts with microbes. This system successfully maintained both human cells and a 17‐strain probiotic community, showing consistent immune responses across different donors.
