While extrusion-based bioprinting fabricates multicellular constructs for regenerative medicine and drug testing, its typical resolution (∼100 μm) is insufficient to reproduce &lt;50 μm features such as capillaries, aligned myofibres, etc. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) approaches, such as melt electrowriting (MEW), address this limitation by producing polymer fibres of 1–500 μm in diameter by applying high voltages. Cell electrowriting (CEW) expands this principle to living systems, aiding the direct deposition of cell-laden hydrogel fibres with diameters of 5–40 μm, thereby supporting microscale cell placement and architectures that are unachievable with conventional methods. This review discusses the principles of CEW, strategies for bioink formulation, and assessments of biological performance, with emphasis on recent advances in CEW-based printing approaches.

As a traditional Chinese medicine, the potential of Asini Corii Colla (ACO) in protecting against skin photoaging has not been systematically investigated. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the anti-photoaging efficacy of ACO and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Cytotoxicity and <em>in vitro</em> bioactivity of ACO were initially assessed in cultured human keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, followed by examination of its effects on cell proliferation and migration under normal conditions, and on SA-β-Gal activity, collagen, and elastin synthesis under UV-induced photoaging. Subsequently, a UV-induced skin photoaging mouse model was established to further validate the efficacy <em>in vivo</em>. Pathological changes, collagen content, and senescence-related markers in skin tissues were analyzed. <em>In vitro</em> results demonstrated that ACO, within a safe concentration range below 20 mg/mL, significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration, inhibited cellular senescence, enhanced collagen synthesis, and suppressed extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. <em>In vivo</em> experiments confirmed that intervention with ACO markedly ameliorated UV-induced photoaging phenotypes in mice, including wrinkle formation and epidermal thickening, while maintaining dermal collagen density and content, and reducing oxidative stress in skin tissue. Collectively, ACO effectively mitigates UV-induced skin photoaging by promoting skin cell repair and regeneration, enhancing collagen synthesis, and maintaining redox homeostasis. These findings provide a solid scientific foundation for its potential application as an anti-photoaging agent.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72919,"journal":{"name":"Engineered regeneration","volume":"7 ","pages":"Pages 176-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148770018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data derived from this study demonstrated that colonic lavage with AIF-PA1 and AIF-PA2 exhibit improved anatomical and physiological function including restoration of normal colonic architecture and transit times in the UC model compared to control groups. In particular, AIF-PA1 exhibited superior tissue repair characterized by enhanced epithelial regeneration, restoration of crypt architecture, and reduced inflammatory infiltrates compared to other treatments. Both AIF-PA treatments reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion, including TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-1β up to 3-fold. Notably, AIF-PA1 resulted in a concomitant 5-fold increase in anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.

Exosomes, on the other hand, derived from mesenchymal stem cells, enhance intercellular communication by delivering bioactive molecules such as growth factors and microRNAs. Combining dECM with exosomes can precisely mimic the cartilage matrix microenvironment, simultaneously promoting cell growth and the production of matrix components and modulating responses. This review delves into the mechanisms of dECM-exosome interactions, innovative integration technologies, and their impact on gene expression and cartilage-specific cellular responses. We demonstrate the potential of dECM-exosome therapy to enhance cartilage repair through <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> studies.

Disruption of these can be triggered by salivary gland (SG) damage following radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.

Xerostomia with hyposalivation is associated with oral complications such as dental caries, dysphagia, candidiasis, and taste disturbances. In contrast, OM develops as a result of epithelial injury and inflammatory cascades, leading to pain, burning, altered dietary intake, and poor nutrition. Together, XM and OM severely compromise the quality of life of HNC patients worldwide. Currently, effective curative treatments remain limited due to the lack of functional SG tissue after HNC therapy, highlighting the urgent need for innovative strategies. Artificial salivary substitutes, ranging from biological to synthetic, provide a safe and effective means of enhancing oral hydration and lubrication. These formulations encompass traditional components like mucins and growth factors, as well as emerging agents based on lipids, carbohydrates, and plant-derived compounds.
