Nanostructured biomaterials that replicate natural bone architecture are expected to facilitate bone regeneration. Here, nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) with vinyl surface modification is acquired by silicon-based coupling agent and photointegrated with methacrylic anhydride-modified gelatin to manufacture a chemically integrated 3D-printed hybrid bone scaffold (75.6 wt% solid content).

Seeking high biological activity and osteoinductive ability has always been an urgent problem for three-dimensional-printed (3DP) bony implants. Here, a 3DP methacrylic anhydride-modified gelatin (GelMA)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffold with a high solid content of 82.5% was prepared and anchored by a functionalized polyphenol hydrogel.

P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent drug efflux protein commonly associated with multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy. In this report, we used a dual-fluorescent co-culture model to study the population dynamics of the drug sensitive human ovarian cancer cell line (OVCAR-8-DsRed2) and its resistant subline that overexpresses P-gp (NCI/ADR-RES-EGFP) during the course of a photodynamic therapy (PDT)-olaparib combination regimen. Without treatment, OVCAR-8-DsRed2 cells grew more rapidly than the NCI/ADR-RES-EGFP cells.

The infusion bag is mainly made up of polyolefin polymer. Antioxidants are usually added to these polymer materials in the production process to prevent the materials from aging and enhance the stability of the materials. Because of the potential harm of antioxidants to human body, it is necessary to limit the amount of antioxidants migrating to the pharmaceutical solutions.
