This paper develops an ex vivo OA model to study TLR4-mediated cartilage degradation and Rapamycin-induced matrix recovery.

This study develops a decellularized meniscus biomaterial (MEND) that supports stem cell invasion and chondrogenesis, showing comparable performance to existing tissue engineering materials.

This study delivers decorin via hyaluronic acid microgels to prevent vocal fold scarring by inhibiting myofibroblast activation and collagen deposition in a rat model.

This study shows that Cyr61 delivery enhances angiogenesis during bone fracture repair, particularly in fractures with stable fixation, and may have therapeutic potential for poor vascularization.

This study develops a hypoxia-delivery scaffold for cartilage regeneration, showing improved collagen production and reduced unhealthy collagen types in human chondrocytes.

This study develops a 4D bioprinted self-folding scaffold that enhances cartilage formation in engineered trachea by enabling eCPCs to respond to scaffold curvature.

This study shows YAP and TAZ regulate osteoblast precursor mobilization and angiogenesis during bone development, linking mechanical cues to vascular and bone formation.
