However, SS can cause local corrosion in the body, which may affect cell proliferation and differentiation, and is prone to related bacterial infection. Therefore, surface modification is required to improve the corrosion resistance and antibacterial performance of SS to extend its service life. To achieve this goal, a new type of composite coating was established on the surface of SS. First, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of SS by electrochemical deposition. Then, polydopamine (PDA) was formed through the self-polymerization of dopamine. Finally, the Michael addition reaction between ε-polylysine (ε-PL) and PDA was used to chemically graft a cationic antimicrobial peptide (AMP), namely, ε-PL, constructing a corrosion-resistant and antibacterial ZnO/PDA/ε-PL coating on the surface of the SS (SZP/ε-PL). The results indicated that the obtained composite coating could significantly improve the corrosion resistance of SS because of the introduction of ZnO. After being irradiated with near-infrared (NIR) light (wavelength: 1064 nm, power: 1 W/cm<sup>2</sup>) for 8 min, the temperature of SZP/ε-PL increased from 22.4 to 57.8 °C. Moreover, there was no significant temperature decay after four cycles, which indicated the good photothermal performance and stability of SZP/ε-PL owing to the function of PDA. Combining photothermal sterilization and AMP contact sterilization, the antibacterial rates of SZP/ε-PL against <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> both reached nearly 100%. In addition, SZP/ε-PL has excellent blood compatibility.

Conventional in vitro and ex vivo models help investigate drug permeation and selected biological effects. However, they are limited in replicating neural interactions critical for assessing the efficacy of neuropeptide-based therapies. To address this limitation, a sensory neuron-integrated skin spheroid (SS) model was established, incorporating key skin cell types and providing a rapid, adaptable, and physiologically relevant platform for screening the biological activity of topical delivery systems targeting neuronal pathways. The model's responsiveness was demonstrated using acetyl hexapeptide-3 (HEX-3), a neuropeptide that inhibits acetylcholine release. HEX-3 was internalized by spheroid cells, with preferential accumulation around sensory neurons, confirming targeted cellular uptake. In parallel, ex vivo human skin studies confirmed that HEX-3 can traverse the stratum corneum and accumulate in deeper layers. Treatment with this film enhanced skin hydration, reduced scaling, and improved the structural organization of the stratum corneum after 48 h. Functional assays using the SS model showed that HEX-3 treatment suppressed acetylcholine release, upregulated the antioxidant enzyme SOD2, and stimulated type I collagen synthesis. In aged skin samples, the application of HEX-3 significantly increased collagen levels. This effect was mirrored in the spheroid model, which reached collagen levels comparable to those of aged human skin upon treatment.

In this work, we sought to uncover new ways to address fibrosis by drawing inspiration from an animal that does not develop fibrosis. The Spiny Mouse (<i>Acomys</i>) has the most extensive regenerative capabilities of any known mammal and can regenerate injuries to the skin, kidney, heart, skeletal muscle, and spine with little to no fibrosis. We hypothesize that the regenerative abilities of <i>Acomys</i> are due, in part, to altered stiffness-mediated fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT). In this work, we interrogated stiffness-mediated FMT in <i>Acomys</i> and <i>Mus</i> dermal fibroblasts <i>in vitro</i> by performing RNA Sequencing and found no differential gene expression in <i>Acomys</i> fibroblasts cultured on soft vs stiff substrates. We further investigated the direct impact of stiffness-mediated FMT and species differences on ECM deposition by fabricating cell-derived matrices (CDMs) from <i>Acomys</i> and <i>Mus</i> fibroblasts cultured on varying stiffnesses. After assessing the composition of these CDMs using label-free quantitative proteomics, fibrosis-associated extracellular matrix proteins including fibrillin-1, ADAMTS1, SPARC, and galectin-1 were found to be significantly reduced or absent in <i>Acomys</i> CDMs compared to <i>Mus</i> CDMs. In addition, proteins that have been connected to fibrosis resolution, including Col12a1 and clusterin, were upregulated in <i>Acomys</i> CDMs. When cultured on <i>Acomys</i> CDMs, mouse macrophages downregulated MMP9 mRNA expression and maintained increased expression of iNOS in response to IL-4, a pro-fibrotic cytokine.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) offer promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, but their poor retention and painful application limits their clinical utility. To overcome these challenges, we developed a composite scaffold of SF and hAM (Sh), loaded with sEVs (ShE), designed to accelerate wound healing by modulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue regeneration. ShE exhibited excellent physical stability, optimal swelling, degradation kinetics, hemocompatibility, and sustained sEV release. <i>In vitro</i>, it enhanced keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation and migration, reduced oxidative stress, and provided immunomodulatory and pro-angiogenic effects.

The inherent instability of RNA and its delivery challenges necessitate the use of lipid-based nanoparticles as crucial transport vehicles. This research focuses on the design, simulation, and optimization of various microfluidic channel configurations for fabricating poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microfluidic chips, aimed at producing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating green fluorescent protein mRNA (GFP mRNA). Aiming for high mixing efficiency and acceptable pressure drop suitable for scale-up, we designed and improved multiple microfluidic channels featuring flow focusing and diverse tilted rectangular baffle structures via computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Simulation results indicated that baffle angles ranging from 70 to 90° exhibited similar mixing efficiencies at different total flow rates, with pressure drops increasing alongside the baffle angle. Additionally, increasing the baffle length at a fixed angle of 70° not only improved mixing efficiency but also increased the pressure drop. To validate these findings, PDMS microfluidic chips were fabricated for all designs to prepare empty LNPs. The baffle structure with a 70° angle and 150 μm length was identified as the best configuration based on both simulation and experimental results. This optimal design was then used to prepare LNPs with varying GFP mRNA concentrations, demonstrating that an N/P ratio of 5.6 yielded the highest transfection efficiency from <i>in vitro</i> experiments.
