Background: Microparticles in blood components might contribute to transfusion-related immunomodulation or other side effects. To elucidate the role of leukofiltration, we compared three commercially available filters for their effect on platelet (PLT)-derived (PDMP), leukocyte-derived (LDMP), and red blood cell-derived (RDMP) microparticle formation in apheresis PLTs.
Study Design And Methods: Apheresis PLTs from pairs of ABO-identical male donors were pooled and divided into four volumes. One volume was stored without filtration, whereas the other three were filtered with different devices. PDMPs, LDMPs, and RDMPs were measured by flow cytometry during 2 weeks of controlled-temperature (22°C) agitated storage.
Results: On average, PDMPs doubled over 5 days of storage, followed by a much steeper increase by which PDMPs on Day 14 were nearly 20 times higher than on Day 0. LDMP and RDMP counts were relatively stable over 14 days. Significant differences among filtered and nonfiltered products did not emerge.
Conclusion: Although the conditions of this study showed no favorable or unfavorable effects of three different filters on microparticle formation, surveillance and investigation of unanticipated outcomes in other experimental and clinical circumstances should continue.

Tissues form during development through mechanical compaction of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and shape morphing, processes that result in complex-shaped structures that contribute to tissue function. While observed in vivo, control over these processes in vitro to understand both tissue development and guide tissue formation has remained challenging. Here, we use combinations of mesenchymal stromal cell spheroids and hydrogel microparticles (microgels) with varied hydrolytic stability to fabricate programmable and dynamic granular composites that control compaction and tissue formation over time.

Advances in biofabrication have enabled the generation of freeform perfusable networks mimicking vasculature. However, key challenges remain in the effective endothelialization of these complex, vascular-like networks, including cell uniformity, seeding efficiency, and the ability to pattern multiple cell types. To overcome these challenges, we present an integrated fabrication and endothelialization strategy to directly generate branched, endothelial cell-lined networks using a diffusion-based, embedded 3D bioprinting process.

Periodontal disease is a major contributor to tooth loss worldwide in adults. Particularly, periodontal bone defect is a common clinical condition, yet current therapeutic strategies exhibit limited effectiveness. Recently, natural bone graft materials have attracted considerable interest for enhancing bone defect repair due to their superior biocompatibility and osteogenic capabilities.

The conventional acupoint therapy for rheumatoid arthritis often uses traditional Chinese medicine preparations in the dosage forms of powder, ointment, and paste. However, these dosage forms have obvious drawbacks, such as low transdermal absorption, strong skin irritation, and easy detachment. Creating a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint therapy characterized by high penetration, low toxicity, low irritation, and convenient administration is of great significance.

Article Synopsis
- The study proposes that water-in-water (W/W) emulsions can be created by mixing a polymer and a surfactant, leading to phase segregation when the surfactant's cloud temperature is lowered.
- Experiments involved using an ethoxylated triglyceride surfactant (Kolliphor ELP) with gelatin, where the gelatin reduced the surfactant's cloud temperature, allowing for two distinct aqueous phases to form.
- The findings reveal that this is the first documented case of W/W emulsions formed with a polymer-surfactant mixture, achieving stability through chemically crosslinked microgels and the incorporation of mucin particles.
