May 2024 in “Advanced Functional Materials” This study reports that a multifunctional artificial skin using photothermal-triggered drug delivery improved full-thickness wound healing and skin appendage regeneration by coordinating the release of several therapeutic agents.
January 2026 in “Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering” In this study, researchers developed a 3D in vitro model using decellularized Dupuytren’s disease tissue seeded with patient-derived fibroblasts, providing a platform to test antifibrotic therapies like minoxidil and demonstrating more complex drug responses than traditional 2D cultures.
