However, their structural complexity remains challenging to achieve due to the difficulty in optimizing culture conditions that meet the growth need of all component cell types. Here, we demonstrate that cystic HOs generated from hPSCs can be expanded long-term and serve as a continuous source for generating complex mLOs. Assembling cystic HOs with hPSC-derived endothelial and hepatic stellate cell-like cells under conventional HO culture conditions failed to support the development of multiple cell types within mLOs, resulting in biased differentiation towards specific cell types. In contrast, modulating the cAMP/Wnt/Hippo signaling pathways with small molecules during assembly and differentiation phases efficiently generate mLOs containing both hepatic parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. These mLOs exhibited structural complexity and functional maturity, including vascular network formation between parenchymal lobular structures, cell polarity for bile secretion, and the capacity to respond to fibrotic stimuli.

Therefore, the exploration of more potent anti-pyroptosis approaches is imperative for improving outcomes in MI treatment, particularly in addressing the crosstalk between macrophages and pyroptotic cardiomyocytes.

Here we explore the morphological changes, migration dynamics, and trail formation of neutrophils on ICAM-1 and PLL substrates, with a focus on the relationships among adhesive forces, traction forces, and out-of-plane forces. Results indicate that, on ICAM-1, neutrophil migration and trail formation rely on the coordinated interactions of Arp2/3 and myosin, along with biochemical regulation (<em>via</em> Syk and calpain) of adhesion and de-adhesion. This pattern leads to traction forces being concentrated at relatively fewer adhesive sites, facilitating cell forward migration. On PLL, however, neutrophils primarily depend on Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization, resulting in a broader distribution of traction forces and weaker adhesions, which allows for higher leading-edge migrating velocities. Elevated membrane tension and out-of-plane forces generated by bleb protrusions on PLL reduce the reliance on myosin-driven contraction at the trailing edge, enabling easier tail detachment through elastic recoil.
