Angiogenesis refers to blood vessel formation through endothelial cell migration and proliferation. Angiogenesis is crucial and beneficial for wound healing and tissue regeneration. In the current study, we prepared porous collagen and collagen/hyaluronan (Col/HA) scaffolds composed of collagen (7 mg/mL) and hyaluronan (HA) (0.5 w%, 1 w%, and 1.5 w%) as culture vehicles for coculture of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). These scaffolds were combined with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) to investigate and evaluate angiogenesis in the coculture cell/scaffold constructs in vitro and in vivo. Scaffold porosity decreased (from 74.4% to 60.7%) and readily degraded after addition of various ratios of HA. The porous scaffolds all had high water content (~98%) and similar mechanical properties. The hADSCs alone and hADSCs cocultured with HUVECs exhibited stable proliferative profiles on the Col/HA scaffolds; furthermore, LIPUS significantly enhanced cell growth on the collagen and Col/0.5HA scaffolds by approximately 1.85- and 1.5-fold, respectively, compared with the cells that did not receive LIPUS treatment. In vivo immunohistochemistry results indicated stronger immunofluorescent CD31 presence and vascular endothelial cadherin messenger RNA expression in the hADSCs/HUVECs coculture/scaffold implantation in rats that received LIPUS treatment compared with those that received no such treatment. Our results demonstrated that the hADSCs/HUVECs cocultured on fabricated collagen and Col/HA scaffolds combined with LIPUS treatment had angiogenesis-promoting capability and therapeutic potential when angiogenesis is demanded.

Spinal cord trauma leads to the destruction of the highly organized cytoarchitecture that carries information along the axis of the spinal column. Currently, there are no clinically accepted strategies that can help regenerate severed axons after spinal cord injury (SCI). Hydrogels are soft biomaterials with high water content that are widely used as scaffolds to interface with the central nervous system (CNS).

Article Synopsis
- Plasma cells (PCs) in bone marrow are key players in immune responses, involved in both diseases like multiple myeloma and conditions such as autoimmune disorders.
- Current research on human PCs is limited due to challenges in traditional culture methods; hence, a new dynamic 3D bone marrow culture system (BM-MPS) has been developed to better mimic the natural environment of PCs.
- This innovative system, supported by a collagen-hyaluronic acid hydrogel, not only preserves the native bone marrow structure but also allows for long-term survival and functionality of primary-derived non-malignant PCs, paving the way for targeted therapeutic strategies.
Introduction: To repair cartilage defect as well as the calcified cartilage layer (CCL) and bone tissue, there is need to fabricate a three-phase complex that mimics the natural cartilage tissue.
Materials And Methods: SF/Col-Ⅱ/HA scaffolds were constructed by low-temperature 3D printing, and to prepare a three-phase complex. The microstructure were showed using a SEM image analysis program.

The skin, the human body's largest organ, possesses a protective barrier that renders it susceptible to various injuries, including burns. Following burn trauma, the inflammatory process triggers both innate and adaptive immune responses, leading to the polarization of macrophages into two distinct phenotypes: the pro-inflammatory M1 and the anti-inflammatory M2. This dual response sets the stage for wound healing and subsequent tissue regeneration.

Background: All types of movements involve the role of articular cartilage and bones. The presence of cartilage enables bones to move over one another smoothly. However, repetitive microtrauma and ischemia as well as genetic effects can cause an osteochondral lesion.
