Cell migration participates in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as
embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue …

Fibrotic cardiac diseases are characterized by myocardial fibrosis that results in maladaptive
cardiac remodeling. Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are the main cell type responsible for fibrosis. …

Diagnostic and therapeutic illumination on internal organs and tissues with high controllability
and adaptability in terms of spectrum, area, depth, and intensity remains a major challenge…

Background Post-traumatic massive hemorrhage demands immediately available first-aid
supplies with reduced operation time and good surgical compliance. In-situ crosslinking gels …

Selective adhesion and migration of endothelial cells (ECs) over smooth muscle cells (SMCs)
is very important in the rapid endothelialization of blood-contacting implants to prevent …

Tissue engineering raised a high requirement to control cell distribution in defined materials
and structures. In “ink”-based bioprintings, such as 3D printing and photolithography, cells …

Selective enhancement of directional migration of Schwann cells (SCs) over fibroblasts (FIBs)
plays a significant role in peripheral nerve regeneration, because this behavior facilitates …

Weak tissue adhesion remains a major challenge in clinical translation of microneedle patches.
Mimicking the structural features of honeybee stingers, stiff polymeric microneedles with …

Metal ions participate in many metabolic processes in the human body, and their homeostasis
is crucial for life. In cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the equilibriums of metal ions are …

Anisotropic 3D tissue interfaces with functional gradients found in nature are replicated in vitro
for drug development and tissue engineering. Even though different fabrication techniques…
