However, suboptimal therapeutic effects, attributed to ineffective targeting, limited lysosomal escape, and insufficient delivery, remain challenges in effectively delivering therapeutic cargo. Despite advances in sEV-based drug delivery systems, conventional approaches need improvement to address low drug-loading efficiency and to develop surface functionalization techniques for precise targeting of cells of interest, all while preserving the membrane integrity of sEVs. We report an enhanced gene delivery system using multifunctional sEVs for highly efficient siRNA loading and delivery. The integration of chiral graphene quantum dots enhanced the loading capacity while preserving the structural integrity of the sEVs. Additionally, lysosomal escape is facilitated by functionalizing sEVs with pH-responsive peptides, fully harnessing the inherent homing effect of sEVs for targeted and precise delivery. These sEVs achieved a 1.74-fold increase in cytosolic cargo delivery compared to unmodified sEVs, resulting in substantial gene silencing of around 73%.

This condition is firmly coupled with unprovoked seizures stimulated by irrepressible neuroelectrical blasts. Orally taken valproate family has been employed for prophylactic management; however, oral administration is not applicable for critical scenarios, thus calling for medication routes fulfilling necessities of immediate innervation. In order to address this shortcoming, sodium valproate entrapped in poly(ethylene oxide)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PEO/PVP) nanofibrous patches was developed with the aim of sublingual drug delivery. Initially, the production process was designed and optimized via the central composite design (CCD). Nanofiber fabrication was accomplished with a novel device by using the pressurized gyration method. Fabricated biomaterials were chemically, spatially, and thermally inspected. The beanless and homogeneous appearance of both virgin and impregnated nanofibrous patches was morphologically demonstrated via scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, adequately oro-dispersed impregnated patches released more than 90% of their drug content in under a minute. Following <i>in vitro</i> cyto-safety assurance acquired through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, the protective antiepileptic effect of impregnated patches was affirmed <i>in vivo</i> via pentylenetetrazole kindled-induced <i>Mus musculus</i> animal modeling. The parameter of <i>in vivo</i> behavioral evaluation was the Racine scoring system. Moreover, histopathological distinctions detected between different test groups were highlighted via fluorescence staining. Finally, the oxidative stress was determined according to quantitative variations of malondialdehyde, glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase levels.

This knowledge gap motivates the development of effective models to study the role of environmental cues in oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) maturation. Such models should focus on determining, which factors influence OPCs to proliferate and differentiate into mature myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs). Here, we introduce a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel system composed of cross-linked HA containing encapsulated HA fibers with swollen diameters similar to mature axons (2.7 ± 0.2 μm). We tuned hydrogel storage moduli to simulate native brain tissue (200-2000 Pa) and studied the effects of fiber presence on OPC proliferation, metabolic activity, protein deposition, and morphological changes in gels of intermediate storage modulus (800 ± 0.3 Pa). OPCs in fiber-containing gels at culture days 4 and 7 exhibited a significantly greater number of process extensions, a morphological change associated with differentiation. By contrast, OPCs in fiber-free control gels maintained more proliferative phenotypes with 2.2-fold higher proliferation at culture day 7 and 1.8-fold higher metabolic activity at culture days 4 and 7. Fibers were also found to influence extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and distribution, with more, and more distributed, nascent ECM deposition occurring in the fiber-containing gels. Overall, these data indicate that inclusion of appropriately sized HA fibers provides topographical cues, which guide OPCs toward differentiation. This HA hydrogel/fiber system is a promising <i>in vitro</i> scheme, providing valuable insight into the underlying mechanisms of differentiation and myelination.</p>","PeriodicalId":8,"journal":{"name":"ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142869270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PC possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that enable it to scavenge excessive ROS, thereby exerting synergistic effects alongside CEL nanoparticles.

Here, we explore and evaluate various strategies and materials that have been used for sacrificial templating. First, we emphasize fabrication approaches that use highly biocompatible sacrificial reagents and minimize the duration that cells spend in fabrication conditions without oxygen and nutrients. We then discuss strategies to create continuous, hierarchical vascular networks, both using biofabrication alone and using hybrid methods that integrate biologically driven vascular self-assembly into sacrificial templating workflows. Finally, we address the importance of structurally reinforcing engineered vessel walls to achieve stable blood flow <i>in vivo</i>, so that engineered organs remain perfused and functional long after implantation. Together, these sacrificial templating strategies have the potential to overcome many current limitations in biofabrication and accelerate clinical translation of transplantable, fully functional engineered organs to rescue patients from organ failure.</p>","PeriodicalId":8,"journal":{"name":"ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers are attempting to fabricate innervated skin tissues using collagen sponges, cell culture inserts, and microfluidic devices to partially mimic the layered structure of the skin. However, innervation of the full-thickness skin model has not yet been achieved. Here, using the anchoring culture device we previously reported, which is a powerful tool to construct a full-thickness three-dimensional (3D) skin model with balanced tissue contraction forces, we drastically improved dermal layer innervation using a composite hydrogel of collagen and Matrigel (Coll:MG). To determine the preferable hydrogel matrix for neurite extension in the 3D skin construct, DRG neural spheroids were placed at the bottom of the dermal layer composed of various hydrogel scaffold, including type I collagen from different origins (dermis or tendon) and Coll:MG composite hydrogel with different compositions. We showed that the Coll:MG (2:1) composite hydrogel significantly increased vertical neurite extension in the dermal layer, concomitant with the reduced tissue shrinkage during the culture. In contrast, in the collagen-only hydrogel, neurite extension occurred mostly in the horizontal direction, and tissues sometimes detached from the anchors due to significant shrinkage, indicating that tissue shrinkage may affect the direction of neurite extension. To exemplify this idea, 3D skin constructed in the device was partially detached from the anchors to comply with the cell-induced tissue shrinkage and reduce the strain on the tissue. The data showed that the partial allowance of in-plane tissue strain remarkably increased vertical neurite extension compared to the control cultures. Collectively, our results strongly suggest that neurite extension angles can be modulated by adjusting the tissue strain during the culture.
