Photocrosslinkable hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid are promising biomaterials high in demand in tissue engineering. Typically, hydrogels are photocured under the action of UV or blue light strongly absorbed by biotissues, which limits prototyping under living organism conditions. To overcome this limitation, we propose the derivatives of well-known photosensitizers, namely chlorin , chlorin and phthalocyanine, as those for radical polymerization in the transparency window of biotissues.

Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer a promising alternative to traditional cell-based therapies for tissue repair by mitigating risks associated with the transplantation of living cells. However, insufficient osteogenic capacity of exosomes diminishes their potential in bone tissue regeneration. Here, we report novel osteogenically induced exosome mimetics (EMs) integrated into injectable hydrogel carriers for improved bone regeneration.

Background: Microfragmented adipose tissue has been proposed for intra-articular treatment of knee osteoarthritis. There are little data comparing the outcomes of treatment between microfragmented adipose tissue and other biological treatments.

Purpose: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing microfragmented aspirated fat injections to other orthobiologics, hyaluronic acid, and corticosteroid injections for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerged as critical contributors to the pathogenesis of vascular endothelial barrier dysfunction during the inflammatory response to infection. However, the contribution of circulating EVs to modifying endothelial function during dengue virus infection remains unclear. In this study, we showed that severe dengue patients' plasma-derived EV (SD-EV) were found to carry elevated levels of different protein cargos, e.

Cationic Magnetic Nanoparticles Activate Natural Killer Cells for the Treatment of Glioblastoma.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Biomedical Polymers of Ministry of Education and Department of Chemistry, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, P. R. China.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the immunosuppressive microenvironment of glioblastoma (GBM) severely hinder the infiltration and activity of natural killer (NK) cells, thereby reducing their clinical efficacy in GBM treatment. To address this challenge, we introduced an engineered living material, HEFDS-NK cells, designed to enhance the penetration of NK cells across the BBB and improve their cytotoxicity against GBM. HEFDS comprises magnetic nanoparticles modified using cationic polyethylenimine (PEI), selenocysteine (Sec), and sodium hyaluronate (HA) and cocultured with NK cells to form HEFDS-NK cells.
