Controlled release of functional factors contributes to target migration of therapeutic cells and plays a crucial role in the in situ vascularization of tissue repair and regeneration. A biomedical application requires the selective release of multiple factors which will guide the synergy of the cells. Here, we developed an injectable system based on a temperature-responsive hydrogel and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) loaded into two types of nanoparticles to induce migration and rapid proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) via selective SDF-1/VEGF release. Series of in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that our composited system can accurately guide MSCs and ECs for vascularization. In addition, the properties of the nanoparticles and hydrogel, including micro/nanoscales, characteristic of charge, and biocompatibility, played crucial roles for the selective release and cells behavior (target migration and rapid proliferation).

Skull defects are common in the clinical practice of neurosurgery, and they are easily complicated by encephalitis, which seriously threatens the life and health safety of patients. The treatment of encephalitis is not only to save the patient but also to benefit the society. Based on the advantages of injectable hydrogels such as minimally invasive surgery, self-adaptation to irregularly shaped defects, and easy loading and delivery of nanomedicines, an injectable hydrogel that can be crosslinked in situ at the ambient temperature of the brain for the treatment of encephalitis caused by cranial defects is developed.

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is a recognized tool that can be used clinically for the thermal ablation of tumors. However, excessive heat can cause side effects on the ultrasound transmission path and normal tissues around the tumor. To address the issue, this work detected for the first time the effect of microscopic heating of nanoparticles under the action of FUS through the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) and luminescence lifetime of temperature-responsive lanthanide-doped nanoparticles.

Microgel suspensions have garnered significant interest in fundamental research due to their phase transition between liquid-like to paste-like behaviors stemming from tunable interparticle and particle-solvent interactions. Particularly, stimuli-responsive microgels undergo faster volume changes in response to external stimuli in comparison to their bulk counterparts, while maintaining their structural integrity. Here, concentrated and diluted suspensions of poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) microgels are dispersed to different packing fractions in water for the characterizations of temperature-responsive rheological responses.

Thermal comfort is a subjective perception, hence conventional evaluation using meteorological factors faces a technical challenge in precise assessment. Human beings have the nature to differentiate expressions of facial emotions when varied thermal environments are perceived. Facial expression scores can be taken as a predictor of perceived thermal comfort which can be precisely assessed using deep learning against physical factors.
