Highly Stable Aggregation‐Induced Emission‐Functionalized Histatin1 Coated With Platelet Vesicles for Diabetic Wound Healing

Aggregate, EarlyView.
Diabetic wound healing is blocked by persistent inflammation and oxidative stress. Bioactive substances like growth factors and Hsts promote repair but lack long‐term stability. Herein, a platelet membrane‐coated nanoparticle system (PNP) is proposed to achieve enhanced retention of aggregation‐induced emissive (AIE) molecular‐modified Hst1 (Hst1‐AIE ...

Toward Autonomous Self‐Healing in Soft Robotics: A Review and Perspective for Future Research

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, five different phases (damage detection, cleaning, damage closure, material healing, and healing assessment) are investigated to have an autonomous self‐healing at the system level with the focus on soft robotics. It delves into the importance of each phase, why and where they matter, and reviews relevant technologies that enable ...
