The study of Ellsworth et al. (Br J Haematol, 2024) demonstrated the usefulness of oxygen gradient ektacytometry technique to better identify the physiological parameters that could increase the risk of sickling of red blood cells (RBCs) from sickle cell trait (SCT) carriers. Oxygen gradient ektacytometry combined with pH and osmolality modulations could help in identifying SCT carriers at risk for kidney disorders or exercise-related complications.

Application of additive manufacturing techniques (3D printing) for mass-customized products has boomed in the recent years. In pharmaceutical industry and research, the interest has grown particularly with the future scenario of more personalized medicinal products. Understanding a broad range of material properties and process behavior of the drug-excipient combinations is necessary for successful 3D printing of dosage forms.

Biomimetic materials have long been the (he)art of bioengineering. They usually aim at mimicking in vivo conditions to allow in vitro culture, differentiation and expansion of cells. The past decade has witnessed a considerable amount of progress in soft lithography, bio-inspired micro-fabrication and biochemistry, allowing the design of sophisticated and physiologically relevant micro- and nano-environments.

Leukodepleted RBC transfusion may reduce the incidence of infection and organ dysfunction. However, the influence of leukodepletion on microcirculation remains not well defined in ICU patients.
