Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

Multifunctional Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid‐graft‐PEDOT Dressing With Antifouling, On‐Demand Drug Delivery and Electrical Stimulation for Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional P(EDOT‐co‐EDOT‐g‐THA) dressing acts as a dynamic biointerface integrating antifouling capability, on‐demand drug delivery, and electrical stimulation. It achieves electrochemically triggered thiolated hyaluronic acid (THA) release while modulating cellular responses for wound healing application.
