Trigger-responsive engineered-nanocarriers and image-guided theranostics for rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Progress made in recently emerging 'trigger-responsive' and 'image-guided theranostics' ENCs for RA treatment has been explored with emphasis on the design strategies, mechanism, current status, challenges, and translational perspectives.

In vivo photoacoustic guidance of stem cell injection and delivery for regenerative spinal cord therapies.

TL;DR: The in vivo feasibility of an intraoperative imaging approach to guide stem cell injection to the spinal cord in vivo is demonstrated, which is a critical step toward the development of a US/PA/MRI platform to monitor regenerative spinal cord therapies.

Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Labeled Silk Fibroin/Hydroxyapatite Multifunctional Scaffold Loaded With Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Bone Regeneration.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the incorporation of USPIO nanoparticles into bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) loaded with multifunctional scaffolds promoted cell adhesion and growth, and facilitated osteogenesis by showing increased levels of alkaline phosphatase activity and up-regulation of osteoblastic genes.

In situ process monitoring and automated multi-parameter evaluation using optical coherence tomography during extrusion-based bioprinting

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D extrusion-based bioprinter-associated optical coherence tomography (3D P-OCT) was demonstrated to achieve high-speed, wide-field and full-depth imaging, and provided in situ process monitoring and comprehensive evaluation for 3D bioprinting.

Photoacoustic Tomography: In Vivo Imaging from Organelles to Organs

TL;DR: A review of the state of the art of photoacoustic tomography for both biological and clinical studies can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the current state-of-the-art and discuss future prospects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical coherence tomography for ultrahigh resolution in vivo imaging

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography functions as a type of 'optical biopsy' to provide cross-sectional images of tissue structure on the micron scale and is a promising imaging technology because it can provide images of tissues in situ and in real time, without the need for excision and processing of specimens.

Journal ArticleDOI

Dual delivery of an angiogenic and an osteogenic growth factor for bone regeneration in a critical size defect model

TL;DR: The results indicate that delivery of both growth factors may enhance bone bridging and union of the critical size defect compared to delivery of BMP-2 alone and suggests an interplay between these growth factors for early bone regeneration.
