Topological supramolecular network enabled high-conductivity, stretchable organic bioelectronics

Yuanwen Jiang et al.

Summary: By using a molecular engineering strategy based on a topological supramolecular network, we have developed intrinsically stretchable bioelectronic devices with high conductivity and direct photopatternability at the cellular scale. This provides an ideal interface for seamless integration with the human body and enables precise control of organ-specific activities.

Inhibiting Fibroblast Mechanotransduction Modulates Severity of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Artem A. Trotsyuk et al.

Summary: The study focused on the importance of mechanotransduction in inflammatory and fibrotic signaling during IPF. Deleting Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) in mice reduced expression of fibrotic and inflammatory genes in lungs, while FAK inhibition had a less effect on IPF fibroblasts compared to normal human fibroblasts. Administering FAK-I at early stages of fibrosis may attenuate the FAK-mediated fibrotic response pathway in IPF.

Smart Dressings for Wound Healing: A Review

Isabella Barros Almeida et al.

Summary: This study provides an overview of sensors incorporated into wound dressings for assessing and managing healing parameters, but reveals a lack of research in this area. New studies are needed to assess sensors that allow both wound monitoring and drug application in a single dressing, to provide better and more cost-effective treatment for wounds.

Adipose-Derived Stromal Cells Seeded in Pullulan-Collagen Hydrogels Improve Healing in Murine Burns

Janos A. Barrera et al.

Summary: In this study, adipose-derived stem cell (ASC)-seeded hydrogels were found to improve wound healing following thermal injury in a murine model. The ASC hydrogel treatment accelerated reepithelialization, increased vascularity, and reduced scar formation compared to control groups. Furthermore, enriching ASCs for specific markers resulted in improved tissue architecture and collagen remodeling postburn injury.

Yuji Gao et al.

Summary: A new flexible biosensing platform has been developed for multiplexed profiling of wound microenvironment, inflammation, and infection state in wound management. This platform integrates sensor array for measuring inflammatory mediators, microbial burden, and physicochemical parameters with microfluidic wound exudate collector and flexible electronics for wireless data readout via smartphones. This technology may improve chronic wound healing outcomes by facilitating timely and personalized wound management.
