Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

The Gut Resistome Atlas in Preterm Infants Enables Prediction of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Onset

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut resistome of preterm infants and its clinical relevance remain poorly understood. This study performs in‐depth integrative analyses of 5,684 gut metagenomes from preterm infants, uncovering distinct features that diverge from term infants. Notably, the gut resistome of preterm infants converges 9 days before necrotizing enterocolitis onset ...
