The short survival time of transplanted adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) is a problem for skin wound healing. Transplantation after the formation of cellular spheroids has been investigated as a promising method for prolonging cellular survival. However, there have been technical restrictions for transplantation of spheroids in clinical practice. Here, we show an effective method for transplantation of ASC spheroids onto skin wounds in order to efficiently cure refractory ulcers. To assist anchoring of spheroids onto skin wounds, we used a 120-nm-thick free-standing film (nanosheet) that has a highly adhesive property. Bioluminescence imaging showed that ASC spheroids carried by the nanosheet survived for 14 days, which is about two-times longer than that previously reported. Wounds treated with a nanosheet carrying ASC spheroids were 4-times smaller than untreated wounds on day 14. This method for transplantation of spheroids could be applied to cell therapy for various refractory skin wounds.

Article Synopsis
- The management of diabetic wounds is difficult, but extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) show potential for treatment despite challenges with their quantity and quality.
- A novel method using cell spheroids to culture hASCs successfully increased the yield and angiogenic properties of the EVs, leading to improved wound healing characteristics.
- In vivo tests on diabetic rats demonstrated that these enhanced EVs significantly improved collagen production, wound closure, and blood vessel formation, suggesting a promising new approach for treating diabetic wounds.

Lung adenocarcinoma, recognized as one of the most formidable malignancies with a dismal prognosis and low survival rates, poses a significant challenge in its treatment. This article delineates the design and development of a carbon dot-vesicle conjugate (HACD-TMAV) for efficient cytotoxicity towards lung cancer cells by target selective delivery of the glutamine inhibitor 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) within CD44-enriched A549 cancer cells. HACD-TMAV is composed of hyaluronic acid-based carbon dots (HACDs) and trimesic acid-based vesicles (TMAV), which are bound electrostatic interactions.

Breast cancer develops in close proximity to mammary adipose tissue and interactions with the local adipose environment have been shown to drive tumor progression. The specific role, however, of this complex tumor microenvironment in cancer cell migration still needs to be elucidated. Therefore, in this study, a 3D bioprinted breast cancer model was developed that allows for a comprehensive analysis of individual tumor cell migration parameters in dependence of adjacent adipose stroma.
