Abstract Microvessels, including arterioles, capillaries, and venules, play an important role in regulating blood flow, enabling nutrient and waste exchange, and facilitating immune surveillance. Due to their important roles in maintaining normal function in human tissues, a substantial effort has been devoted to developing tissue-engineered models...

Abstract We report a zwitterionic injectable and degradable hydrogel based on hydrazide and aldehyde-functionalized [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (DMAPS) precursor polymers that can address practical in vivo needs. Zwitterion fusion interactions between the zwitterionic precursor polymers create a secondary physically...

Abstract In vitro network formation by endothelial cells serves as a fundamental model for studies aimed at understanding angiogenesis. The morphogenesis of these cells to form a network is intricately regulated by the mechanical and biochemical properties of the extracellular matrix. This article presents the effects of modulating these properties...

Abstract The management of infected bone defects poses a significant clinical challenge, and current treatment modalities exhibit various limitations. This study focuses on the development of a multifunctional composite scaffold comprising nanohydroxyapatite/polyethyleneglycol diacrylate (HP) matrix, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), graphene oxide (GO),...

Abstract Emerging organic molecules with emissions in the NIR-II region are garnering significant attention. Unfortunately, achieving accountable organic emission intensity over the NIR-IIa (1300 nm) region faces challenges due to the intrinsic energy gap law. Up to current stage, all reported organic NIR-IIa emitters belong to polymethine-based dyes...

Abstract Catalytic nanoparticles (CNPs) as heterogeneous catalyst reveals superior activity due to their physio-chemical features, such as high surface-to-volume ratio and unique optical, electric, and magnetic properties. The CNPs, based on their physio-chemical nature, can either increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level for tumor and antibacterial...
