Summary: Adding filler particles to polymer electrolytes can enhance their ionic conductivity, but the influence of particle weight load and composition on polymer morphology is not fully understood. It was found that optimal ionic conductivity occurs at very low particle weight loads, with both magnitude and load heavily dependent on the garnet particle composition. Studies suggest that the Li-molar content in the garnet particle controls its interactions with the polymer matrix, resulting in the formation of high ionic conductivity channels at the reported optimum loads.

Summary: Amplification of asymmetry in complex molecular systems is achieved by controlling the helicity of supramolecular assemblies through non-stereoselective methylation reactions. Methylating chiral glutamic acid side chains in benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) derivatives modulates the assembly properties. The introduction of methyl ester-BTAs as reacted comonomers induces a stronger bias in the screw-sense of helical fibers predominantly composed of stacked achiral alkyl-BTA monomers, leading to asymmetry amplification.

Summary: Ultrathin MoS2-MoO3-x heterojunction nanosheets were used as biocompatible and visible light-sensitive stimulator layers for controlled differentiation of human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) into nervous lineages. The differentiation of hNPCs was increased on MoS2-MoO3-x due to biophysical cues and further increased on rGO/MoS2-MoO3-x due to a synergistic effect induced by the rGO. MoO3-x domains induced p-type doping in MoS2-MoO3-x, while photostimulation led to higher differentiation into glial cells. The presence of rGO in rGO/MoS2-MoO3-x promoted ultrafast electron transfer and increased neuronal differentiation of hNPCs.

Summary: The corneal epithelium consists of nonkeratinized stratified squamous cells, which undergo a significant turnover rate. The limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) located in the basal epithelial layer of the limbus play a crucial role in maintaining corneal homeostasis. The limbal stem cell niche (LSCN), composed of various cells, extracellular matrix, and signaling molecules, provides the microenvironment necessary for the proper functioning of LESCs. Damage to the LSCN can lead to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) and conjunctivalization of the cornea. This review summarizes the basics of LSCN and discusses current and emerging bioengineering strategies for LSCN restoration to combat LSCD.

Summary: The main goal of many researchers is to introduce an intelligent pharmaceutical nanocarrier for targeted drug release and reducing the side effects of chemotherapy. In this study, a reduction-sensitive flower-like magnetomicelle containing doxorubicin (DOX) and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) was synthesized by self-assembly of an amphiphilic triblock copolymer. The innovative design showed high drug loading content, reduced drug release in physiological conditions, fast degradation at the targeted site, and burst release of more drug content at an earlier time. Comparative studies demonstrated that the DOX-loaded magnetomicelle (D-LMM) exhibited superior cellular uptake and toxicity behavior on human breast adenocarcinoma cells compared to non-reduction sensitive control group, free DOX, and a commercial liposomal DOX product.

Summary: Transplantation of homogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and specific extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from MSCs can contribute to endometrial repair and restoration of reproductive function. They inhibit fibrosis and inflammation, enhance cell proliferation, and regulate molecular markers related to endometrial receptivity. Compared to heterogeneous parental MSCs, clonal MSCs are more efficient in restoring reproductive function, and EV20K is a more cost-effective option for preventing Asherman syndrome.

Summary: Organoid medicine has made significant progress in the past decade as a novel therapeutic approach for addressing unmet medical needs, such as chronic liver disease. Through the use of scalable and xeno-free differentiation platforms, hepatic progenitors, mesenchymal stromal cells, and endothelial cells are generated from human pluripotent stem cell lines to produce vascularized liver organoids. A scalable microfluidic system is developed to generate cells-loaded microcapsules, which support cell proliferation and the self-organization of liver organoids using a self-biodegradable peptide hydrogel. These vascularized hepatobiliary organoids exhibit key functional features similar to fetal and adult liver tissue, making them promising for liver organoid medicine and drug development.

Summary: This study investigated the therapeutic effects of clonal mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (cMSC-EVs) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment. The results showed that cMSC-EVs efficiently improved cognitive function in TBI animal models, reduced cis p-tau and cleaved caspase3 protein expression, and increased p-PI3K expression. Moreover, cMSC-EVs were able to effectively load an anti-cis p-tau antibody, suggesting their potential use in antibody delivery for passive immunotherapy.

Summary: This study identifies several microRNAs (miRNAs) that are crucial in the efficient generation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from inner cell mass (ICM). The expression profiles of these miRNAs change dynamically during ESC formation, with significant contributions from miRNAs in the Dlk1-Dio3 locus. Functional investigations reveal that certain miRNAs promote ESC formation, while others inhibit it. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the role of miRNAs during ESC derivation.
