Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogels for Optical Applications: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Translational Challenges

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.

In‐Mold Wettability Patterning of Microfluidic Devices Without Back‐End Surface Modification

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study demonstrates in‐mold wettability patterning of microfluidic devices, eliminating the need for post‐fabrication surface modification to define hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The new approach enables efficient droplet seeding in hydrophilic‐in‐hydrophobic well arrays and selective wettability of microchannels in fluidic devices.

Integrin α5β1‐mediated multicellular crosstalk in the tumor microenvironment drives bladder cancer progression and reveals targetable vulnerabilities

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Integrating multiplexed immunofluorescence, animal models, and clinical samples, our single‐cell and spatial atlas maps tumor microenvironment evolution during bladder cancer (BCa) progression. We reveal that stemness‐associated tumor cells (SDC1+), POSTN+ myofibroblastic cancer‐associated fibroblasts (mCAFs), and immunosuppressive monocytic myeloid ...

Fully Synthetic, Biomimicking Polysulfates With Tunable Anticoagulant and Endothelial Cell–Selective Bioactivity

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2026.
Sulfated PHEMA‐based polyelectrolyte brushes are introduced as a reductionist platform to probe glycosaminoglycan‐inspired bioactivity. High charge density governs growth factor interactions and is associated with distinct vascular cell responses, enabling balanced endothelial and smooth muscle cell co‐culture.
