To overcome this challenge, we have developed a Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software capable of generating multi-material nested cylindrical models and their printing trajectory using an innovative printing protocol. The protocol strategically modifies the starting point of each layer and avoids collisions during fabrication. Furthermore, it optimizes the printing order to minimize tool changes and enables flexible adjustment of photopolymerization timing and pathing. We have tested this approach on three multi-material tissue models and compared the results with the models generated using the BIOCAD software (RegenHU). Findings demonstrate that our protocol significantly improves cylindrical structure integrity, minimizes printing collisions and reduces overall printing time. Comparative analysis confirms the superior printing fidelity of the tissue models printed using our method, validating its effectiveness for extrusion-based cylindrical bioprinting applications.

The primary aim of the current study was to develop and characterize a hybrid nanocarrier composed of exosomes and liposomes to facilitate targeted drug delivery across the BBB for future CNS disease therapies. To achieve targeted uptake, we conjugated the exosome-liposome hybrid to the Angiopep-2 peptide (ANG-2), which has a specific affinity for the LRP-1 receptor, found on endothelial cells of the BBB. Our results indicate that exosome-liposome hybrid nanoparticles exhibit significantly greater stability than exosomes alone.

This review systematically summarizes recent progress in DFU dressings, categorizing them into traditional, natural polymer-based (chitosan, alginate, collagen), synthetic polymer-based (PLGA, PVA, PEG), and multifunctional systems. A key focus is placed on elucidating their mechanisms of action, particularly in promoting angiogenesis, reducing oxidative stress, facilitating the transition of macrophages from proinflammatory M1 to reparative M2 phenotypes, and regulating critical signaling pathways such as AMPK, Wnt/β-catenin, and Nrf2/ARE. While preclinical evidence for many bioactive dressings is promising, their clinical translation remains limited, with only a few (e.g., collagen-based, silveralginate dressings) currently approved for use. Future research directions should prioritize the development of multifunctional and responsive dressings, underpinned by robust clinical validation through standardized evaluation and large-scale trials.

This study introduces a 3D-printed radial-flow bioreactor designed for the decellularization of human iliac arteries with reduced detergent consumption. Arteries were perfused radially for 8 days using a 1% w·v⁻¹ sodium dodecyl sulfate solution, followed by deoxyribonuclease I treatment and phosphate-buffered saline washes. Decellularization efficacy was quantified by nuclear density using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, and residual DNA was measured by fluorometric quantification. The radial-flow bioreactor achieved approximately 97% nuclear reduction using 70 mL of detergent solution, compared to 250 mL required by a benchmark perfusion setup. Residual DNA content was reduced to 40 ± 5.2 ng·mg⁻¹, while collagen and elastin retention remained high. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) revealed a uniform wall shear stress distribution along the luminal surface (mean wall shear stress ≈ 0.97 Pa) and a minimal pressure drop (ΔP ≈ 116 Pa) under simulated conditions.
