Engineering Aging: Approaches to Model and Deconstruct Biological Complexity
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The macro‐experiences of aging are the result of an accumulation of micro‐changes that occur over time. Abstract The disparity between the global increase in life expectancy and the steady decline in health outcomes with age has been a major driver for developing new ways to research aging.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A novel immuno‐piezoelectric transducer is innovatively developed. This device promotes neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and maturation via ultrasound‐induced electrical stimulation and it amplifies the therapeutic efficacy of NSC in traumatic brain injury (TBI) by modulating the immune microenvironment. This piezoelectric transducer with “immune‐

Macrophages Mediate Mesoscale Brain Mechanical Homeostasis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We investigated the role of infiltrating immune cells in sculpting the developing brain. Using Brillouin microscopy and active microrheology, we found microglia actively maintain tissue viscoelasticity. Moreover, colony stimulating factor one receptor (CSF1R)‐driven stromal remodeling alters brain mechanics in vivo. These findings link immune activity,

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This paper presents a novel, low‐cost process for fabricating high‐precision silicon microstructures using an electrospun nanofiber mask. It details the dual functionality of the palladium (Pd) nanocluster mask, which acts as a catalyst for Metal‐Assisted Chemical Etching (MACE) in acidic solutions and as a porous protective layer in alkaline ...
