Managing wounds in certain phases of the healing process still represents a big challenge. The oxidative stress, caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), is one hallmarks controlling wound healing-related process. Multifunctional biomaterials with excellent biocompatibility, tuneable properties, and easy functionalization, may allow realizing suitable three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking structures, to efficiently control ROS levels. This might be promising strategy for severe wounds. Herein, photo-crosslinkable methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)-based spongy-like cryogels (from 5 20 % w/v) incorporating Eumelanin from Black Soldier Flies (BSF-Eumel, 0.5 1.0 mg/mL), pigment endowed marked antioxidant were developed. GelMA-based fabricated an easily handled scalable cryogelation followed ultraviolet (UV) photo-crosslinking. BSF-Eumel sub-micrometer particles embedded into passive permeation solution within polymeric network. addition resulted more hydrophilic porous exhibiting good stability prolonged release 14 days. Furthermore, GelMA/BSF-Eumel exhibited activity, confirmed powerful quenching effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical (59 at mg/mL BSF-Eumel). Moreover, highest GelMA concentrations (10 accelerated human dermal fibroblasts-adult (HDF-a) migration, promoting closure 24 h. They also proved mitigate modulating production levels preventing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity inhibition HDFs stimulated lipopolysaccharide (LPS), owing BSF-Eumel.

Abstract Breast cancer often develops drug resistance during chemotherapy, and immunotherapeutic agents always exhibit ineffectiveness when used as a single treatment; thus, it is necessary to develop chemo‐immunotherapy strategy in clinics. However, there still challenge evaluate the efficacy by conventional 2D cell culture animal models. In this study, we developed facile automated multiple‐well platform for fabricating tumor associated macrophages (TAMs)‐immunized breast organoids alginate hydrogels. An robotic microinjection system was building hydrogels situ seeding mixed suspensions of cells TAMs into form organoids. The induced epirubicin observed with TAMs, but could be inhibited targeted immunotherapy PLX3397. synergistic effects were also evaluated several co‐administration strategies PLX3397 combination epirubicin. RNA‐seq quantitative polymerase chain reaction further examine gene transcription levels find out three genes (IL6, CD37, GLS2) significant differences, which involved necrosis factor signaling, PI3K‐Akt signaling epidermal growth receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor pathway. results demonstrated that showed potential replace bulk method evaluating therapeutic chem‐immunotherapy.

Traumatic or degenerative defects of articular cartilage impair joint function, and the treatment damage remains a challenge. By mimicking extracellular matrix (ECM), exosome-seeded cryogels may enhance cell proliferation chondral repair. ECM-based were cryopolymerized with gelatin, chondroitin sulfate, various concentrations (0%, 0.3%, 0.5%, 1%) hyaluronic acid (HA), their water content, swelling ratio, porosity, mechanical properties, effects on viability evaluated. The regenerative bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem (BM-MSC)-derived exosome (at concentration 106 particles/mL)-seeded 0.3% HA assessed in vitro surgically induced male New Zealand rabbit vivo. porosity significantly (p < 0.05) increased Young's modulus values decreased increasing concentrations. MTT assays revealed that developed biomaterials had no cytotoxic effects. optimal cryogel composition was HA, resulting favorable properties suitable strength. Exosomes alone promoted chondrocyte (with optical densities 58% 51% greater than control). facilitated ECM deposition sulfated glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Although we observed repair via Alcian blue staining both cryogel, layered arrangement chondrocytes superior to control when used. This study potential value using BM-MSC-derived for tissue engineering treat injury.
