    Abstract

    Fast Construction of Biomimetic Organic-inorganic Interface by Crosslinking of Calcium Phosphate Oligomers: A Strategy for Instant Regeneration of Hard Tissue

    Investigators demonstrated a fast in situ crosslinking of calcium phosphate oligomers on collagen matrixes for efficient organic-inorganic interface re-construction, which could result in a biomimetic hybrid.

    Abstract

    Protease-Sensitive, VEGF-Mimetic Peptide and IKVAV Laminin-Derived Peptide Sequences within Elastin-Like Recombinamer Scaffolds Provide Spatiotemporally Synchronized Guidance of Angiogenesis and Neurogenesis

    Scientists designed a 3D model scaffold, based on elastin-like recombinamer hydrogels. This contained two interior and well-defined areas, small cylinders, with differentiated bioactivities with respect to the bulk.

    Abstract

    Can 3D Bioprinting Solve the Mystery of Senescence in Cancer Therapy?

    The authors discuss literature on the possible contribution of therapy-induced senescence (TIS) in tumor dormancy, provide examples on the current 3D models of senescence, and propose a novel 3D model to investigate the ultimate role of TIS in mediating overall response to therapy.

    Abstract

    Microenvironmental Cue-Regulated Exosomes As Therapeutic Strategies for Improving Chronic Wound Healing

    Microenvironmental cue-regulated exosomes as therapeutic strategies to improve chronic wound healing by regulating the inflammatory response, promoting cell proliferation and migration, facilitating angiogenesis, and regulating ECM remodeling are discussed.
