Abstract Recent advances in 3D bioprinting allow for generating intricate structures with dimensions relevant human tissue, but suitable bioinks producing translationally tissue complex geometries remain unidentified. Here, a tissue‐specific hybrid bioink is described, composed of natural polymer, alginate, reinforced extracellular matrix derived from decellularized (rECM). rECM has rheological and gelation properties beneficial while retaining biologically inductive supporting maturation ex...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) exhibit unique drug delivery properties and are thus considered as promising candidates for next generation nano-medicines. In particular, inhalation into the lungs represents a direct, non-invasive route treating lung disease. To assess MSN biocompatibility in lung, we investigated bioresponse of avidin-coated MSNs (MSN-AVI), well aminated (uncoated) MSNs, after direct application mice. We quantified distribution, clearance rate, cell-specific uptake,...

In study, we present first vivo data supporting role for tumor-associated (TAA)-mediated...
Non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gaining significant attention in the field of tissue engineering, since it can provide valuable information on vitro production parameters and vivo performance. It e.g. be used to monitor morphology, location function regenerated tissue, integrity, remodeling resorption scaffold, fate implanted cells. Since cells are not visible using conventional MR techniques, ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles routinely employed...
Abstract Herein is described the switchable fluorescence response of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) brushes. Chain end fluorescein labeled PMMA brushes are prepared by combining surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐ATRP) with a copper‐catalyzed alkyne‐azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction. Successful attachment confirmed measuring as‐prepared films. Utilizing co‐solvency in isopropanol‐water mixtures, responsive behavior end‐functionalized demonstrated changes...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of death in the intensive care unit, with mortality rates ~30–40%. To reduce invasive diagnostics such as bronchoalveolar lavage and time-consuming in-hospital transports for imaging diagnostics, we hypothesized that particle flow rate (PFR) pattern from airways could be an early detection method contribute to improving optimizing personalized therapies. Porcine models were ventilated mechanically. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening, high mortality pulmonary condition characterized by acute lung injury (ALI) resulting in diffuse alveolar damage. Despite progress regarding the understanding of ARDS pathophysiology, there are presently no effective pharmacotherapies. Due to complexity and multiorgan involvement typically associated with ARDS, animal models remain most commonly used research tool for investigating potential new therapies. Experimental...
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly produced and used today, but health risks due to their occupational airborne exposure incompletely understood. Traditionally, nanoparticle (NP) toxicity is tested by introducing NPs cells through suspension in the growth media, this does not mimic respiratory exposures. Different methods introduce aerosolized cultured at air-liquid-interface (ALI) have been developed, require specialized equipment associated with higher cost time. Therefore,...
