Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is hallmarked by a dense, collagen-rich stroma, driven by the activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), which remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM) into a mechanically stiff microenvironment that promotes tumor progression and therapeutic resistance.1,2 To accurately mimic this fibrotic transformation in vitro, we engineered 3D... -

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a synthetic, biodegradable aliphatic polyester widely used in tissue engineering and has been FDA-approved for various medical devices. However, its long-term performance is compromised by undesirable issues such as surface biofilm formation and a foreign body response (FBR)[1]. These adverse biological processes not only reduce scaffold functionality but also trigger...
