Biomaterials play an important role in the development of advancing three dimensional (3D) in vitro skin models, providing valuable insights for drug testing and tissue-specific modeling. Commercial materials, such as collagen, fibrin or alginate, have been widely used in skin modeling. However, they do not adequately represent the molecular complexity of skin components.

Article Synopsis
  • Nanotechnology, especially 2D materials like graphene-related materials (GRMs), has grown rapidly but raises safety concerns that need better assessment methods.
  • Traditional testing methods aren't effective as they fail to replicate human physiological conditions, leading to issues like quick deposition and low stability of GRMs in solutions.
  • The study introduces a kidney-on-a-chip microfluidic system that optimizes testing under realistic flow conditions to better evaluate the effects of graphene oxide and few-layer graphene exposure.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is highly prevalent in women of child-bearing age. However, their nonhematological symptoms have been overlooked. This study aims to analyze the nonhematological features and symptoms of IDA in a group of women of reproductive age and the changes occurred during iron therapy.
