Paper
Retinal hypoxia reversal with PLGA-oxygen nanobubbles
PLGA oxygen nanobubbles were formulated for retinal hypoxia reversal, and ocular safety was ascertained in a rabbit model, indicating promise as an adjuvant in the mitigation of ischemic retinal diseases.
Paper
Bioactive coating with clindamycin, VEGF-165, and TGF-β1 for supporting bone tissue regeneration
Multifunctional composite coatings combining antibiotics and growth factors for bone tissue regeneration.
Paper
Tuning the mechanical properties and printability of viscoelastic skin-derived hydrogels for 3D cell culture
Porcine skin-derived hydrogels were obtained with tunable gelation kinetics and rheological properties, influencing printability and cell proliferation and migration. Created in BioRender. Persson, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/qd39swt.
Paper
Electrospun PLGA fibers with calcium phosphate nanoparticles: effects of nanoparticle crystallinity and carbonate content on osteogenic activity
Flame-made calcium phosphate nanoparticles with varying crystallinity and carbonate content were incorporated into electrospun PLGA fibers for bone tissue engineering.
Non-destructive approaches for retrieving T-cells from fibrous scaffolds for therapeutic applications
Cell recovery from antibody-coated electrospun scaffolds is difficult and often affects cell quality, but Accutase improves the cell retrieval and enhances their viability, proliferation, and function.
Paper
AntiCD44 antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles for targeted photothermal therapy of endometriotic cells
Upon delivery to CD44(+) endometriotic cells, Au@P_AbCD44 was internalised via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Laser exposure of cells, based on LSPR properties, increased the temperature and promoted apoptotic over necrotic cell death.
Paper
A study of saponin-encapsulated ultrasound microbubbles Rb3NPs@MBs for atherosclerosis targeted treatment
Here we developed a new drug for treatment of atherosclerosis. It can clear 1/3 area of the plaque area targeting the aortic arch within three weeks. It brings hope for the rapid treatment of atherosclerosis.
The regenerative capacity of cell imprinting and collagen/PCL scaffolds in gastrocnemius tendon defect
The tenocyte-imprinted differentiation technique and biomimetic scaffolds significantly enhance tendon regeneration. Utilizing undifferentiated ADSCs may hinder the regeneration process.
Borax - and tannic acid-based post-3D-printing treatment to tune the mechanical properties of scaffolds
Post-processing of DLP-printed polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) resins with tannic acid (TA) enhanced their mechanical properties and introduced bioactive functionalities.
Paper
Injectable and self-healable supramolecular hydrogels assembled by quaternised chitosan/alginate polyelectrolyte complexation for sustained drug delivery and cell encapsulation
Supramolecular hydrogels based on water-soluble quaternised chitosan/alginate polyelectrolyte complexes showed self-healing and injectable properties, a sustained release of bovine serum albumin, and enabled cell encapsulation at physiological pH.
Paper
Development of a nano-vaccine for high-grade serous ovarian cancer
An overview of the development of a vaccine for High-Grade Serous Carcinoma.
About this collection
This collection showcases some of the research that was presented at the 34th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Biomaterials, held in September 2025. As the official journal of the European Society for Biomaterials (ESB), Biomaterials Science works in partnership with the ESB to highlight some of the top research from the community. This year's collection also features additional papers from ESB members. We hope you enjoy reading this collection of featured research.
