Nature-derived microneedles with metal-polyphenolic networks encapsulation for chronic soft tissue defects repair: Responding and remodeling the regenerative microenvironment by Chengyang Zhu, Zun Fan, Zhijie Cheng, Jun Yin, Lei Qin, Xin Zhao

“…Furthermore, the pH-responsive disassembly of Cu-Cur MPNs can respond to the acidic microenvironment, allowing for burst-free and on-demand drug delivery. Both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments demonstrate that NMs with Cu-Cur MPNs encapsulation (Cu-Cur-NMs) can restore redox homeostasis, reduce inflammatory response, and promote blood vessel formation, thus remodeling the regenerative microenvironment to greatly improve the repair quality of CSTDs. …”

Optimal Asynchronous Guaranteed Cost Control of Uncertain Markov Jump Systems With Actuator Saturation and Nonideal Transition Probabilities by Jiazheng Liu, Yang Yang, Yaru Song

“…Moreover, since it is complex to obtain accurate transition probabilities for the Markov chain of the original system and the hidden Markov model in the observation process, unknown and uncertain transition probabilities are simultaneously considered in both mode transitions and mode observation processes, and a separation strategy is implemented to handle the nonideal probabilities in each process independently. …”
