This paper develops a biohybrid scaffold using functionalized silk fibroin to enhance charge-transfer efficiency, promoting neurite outgrowth in dorsal root ganglion neurons under electrical stimulation.

This paper develops a 3D in vitro model of an ovine intervertebral disc using a PCL frame and alginate hydrogel, demonstrating effective cell alignment and phenotype preservation.

This study generates cardiac resident-like macrophages and cardiomyocytes from iPSCs to investigate their interactions in 2D and 3D settings, showing improved cardiomyocyte maturation and function when co-cultured.
