Hydrogels have been extensively used as scaffolds in tissue engineering for cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation because of their high-water content biocompatibility similarity to the extracellular matrix. However, submicron or nanosized pore networks within hydrogels severely limit survival regeneration. In recent years, application macroporous has received considerable attention. The structure not only facilitates nutrient transportation metabolite discharge but also provides more space behavior formation. Several strategies creating functionalizing reported.

Abstract Cancer microenvironment is critical for tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The extracellular matrix (ECM) interacts with tumor stromal cells to promote proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis immune evasion. Both ECM itself stiffening-induced mechanical stimuli may activate cell membrane receptors mechanosensors such as integrin, Piezo1 TRPV4, thereby modulating the malignant phenotype of cells. A better understanding how stiffness regulates progression will contribute development new therapeutics. rapidly expanding evidence in this research area suggests that regulators effectors represent potential therapeutic targets cancer.

Skin wound repair is a multistage process involving multiple cellular and molecular interactions, which modulate the cell behaviors dynamic remodeling of extracellular matrices to maximize regeneration repair. Consequently, abnormalities in functions or pathways inevitably give rise side effects, such as dysregulated inflammation, hyperplasia nonmigratory epithelial cells, lack response growth factors, impedes angiogenesis fibrosis. These issues may cause delayed healing even non-healing states. Current clinical therapeutic approaches are predominantly dedicated preventing infections alleviating topical symptoms rather than addressing modulation microenvironments achieve targeted outcomes. Bioactive materials, relying on their chemical, physical, biological properties carriers bioactive substances, can affect promote at level. By mechanisms from perspective behaviors, this review discusses how materials within wounds during stages hemostasis, anti-inflammation, tissue deposition, matrix remodeling.

Abstract With an increasingly aging society, bone defects and fractures have become significant threats to human health quality of life. Currently, autologous allogeneic grafts remain the “gold standard” for clinical treatment repair. However, transplantation is still clinically insufficient, owing its substantial limitations, such as graft rejection, donor functional defects, risk infection. Therefore, a variety biomaterials been developed facilitate advancement tissue engineering, focus research has transitioned from bioinert bioactive biomaterials. many not achieved satisfactory therapeutic effects.

Wound healing is a dynamic and highly regulated process that can be separated into three overlapping interdependent phases: inflammation, proliferation, remodelling. This review focuses on the inflammation stage, as it key stage of wound plays vital role in local immune response determines progression healing. Inflammatory cells, main effector cells inflammatory response, have been widely studied, but little attention has paid to immunomodulatory effects non-inflammatory extracellular matrix. In this review, we attempt deepen our understanding wound-healing microenvironment by focusing interactions between matrix, well their regulating during stage. We hope findings will provide new ideas for promoting tissue regeneration through regulation.

Abstract Soft and stretchable electronics have emerged as highly promising tools for biomedical diagnosis biological studies, they interface intimately with the human body other systems. Most electronic materials devices, however, still Young’s moduli orders of magnitude higher than soft bio-tissues, which limit their conformability long-term biocompatibility. Here, we present a design strategy interlayer allowing use existing relatively high to versatilely realize devices ultralow tissue-level moduli. We demonstrated transistor arrays active-matrix circuits below 10 kPa—over two lower current state art. Benefiting from increased irregular dynamic surfaces, ultrasoft device created realizes electrophysiological recording on an isolated heart adaptability, spatial stability, minimal influence ventricle pressure. In vivo biocompatibility tests also demonstrate benefit suppressing foreign-body responses implantation. With its general applicability diverse this soft-interlayer overcomes material-level limitation imparting softness variety bioelectronic devices.
