|
| Researchers fabricated poly(ε-caprolactone) fiber skeletons (PSs) that were subcutaneously embedded to induce the assembly of host cells and ECM to obtain PS-reinforced biotubes. [Science Advances] |

|
|
| The authors identified the class of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1/2 inhibitors as inducing cell death selectively in SOX10-deficient cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators proposed a nanofibrillar hydrogel for the initiation and growth of breast cancer patient-derived tumor organoids. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated the key role of fibroadipogenic progenitors and their cross-talk with muscle cells through a paracrine signaling pathway in fibrosis of human skeletal muscle and identified endothelin as a new druggable target to counteract human muscle fibrosis.

|
|
|
| Researchers used Dupuytren’s disease, a localized fibrotic condition of the hand, as a model to profile the vasculature niche of human fibrosis at single-cell resolution. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that matrix metalloproteinase 2, which degrades type IV collagen, was abundantly expressed in human skin, increased with age in sun-exposed skin, and correlated robustly with aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor directly activated by UV-generated photometabolites. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated several superabsorbent dressings for their ability to absorb and retain bacteria, their impact on bacterial viability, and their ability to sequester matrix metalloproteinases-2 and 9 over seven days. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| Ti3C2 MXene was incorporated into composite scaffolds composed of hydroxyapatite and sodium alginate via extrusion-based 3D printing to evaluate its potential in bone regeneration. [Biomedical Materials] |
|
|
|
| The authors addressed the contemporary need for a conductive biomimetic nanocomposite scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering by examining the use of a gold nanoparticle-incorporated porcine cholecystic ECM for the same. [Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B-Applied Biomaterials] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported the development of an in vitro 3D breast cancer model to investigate the effect of stromal crosslinking and consequent, stiffening on the angiogenic activity of cancer cells. [Biotechnology Progress] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists provide insight into the field of material-assisted strategies for osteochondral (OC) regeneration, with particular considerations for the therapeutic potential of the different approaches and current OC regeneration evaluation methods. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| The authors provide an update on the regulation of noncoding RNAs in the crosstalk between macrophages and tumor cells in hepatocellular carcinoma. [Molecular Therapy-Oncolytics] |

| Molecular Matrix, Inc. (MMI) announced the full launch of its Osteo-P® Synthetic Bone Graft Substitute (BGS) for use in the musculoskeletal system. Osteo-P® BGS is made using MMI’s hyper-crosslinked carbohydrate polymer technology platform engineered to optimize the microenvironment for bone repair. [Molecular Matrix, Inc.
