|
| Investigators developed a biomaterial system consisting of elastic porous poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) microspheres mixed with ECM hydrogels as injectable composites with interleukin-4 and insulin-like growth factor-1 dual-release functionality. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| A stent-free anti-stenosis drug coating based on a peptide hydrogel was proposed. The hydrogel was formed by assembling a nitric oxide donor-peptide conjugate as a hydrogelator and encapsulating curcumin during the assembly process. [Advanced Science] |

|
| Researchers presented a novel 3D in vitro model mimicking intracranial myeloid sarcoma, employing a hydrogel scaffold derived from the brain-decellularized ECM in which suspended leukemia cells were embedded, simulating the formation of tumor masses in the brain parenchyma.

|
| Scientists investigated the effectiveness of Platelet Rich Plasma vs. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate as a direct pulp capping agent. 42 teeth from three mongrel dogs were divided into two equal groups. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| Scientists explored the phenotypes and subsets of macrophages following treatment with the active constituent of Collagenase Santyl® Ointment. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the mechanical response of collagen-1 networks to local and bulk compressive loads. They compared these results to the behavior of polyacrylamide, a fundamentally different class of hydrogel network consisting of flexible polymer chains. [Langmuir] |

|
| Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured by three strategies: seeding on an extracellular matrix (ECM), spheroids in static culture, and spheroids in a bioreactor. [Regenerative Medicine] |

|
| The authors review advancements in utilizing MSCs and their derived extracellular vesicles (EV) for osteoporosis (OP) treatment. It systematically examines the most extensively researched MSC-derived EVs for treating OP. [Cell Death & Disease] |
