In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Plasmonically Enhanced Microarray Immunoassay for High‐Sensitivity Monitoring of Heart Failure
A novel plasmonically enhanced PE‐D4 assay combines nanopatch antennas with a microarray immunoassay for the detection of heart failure biomarkers NT‐proBNP, NGAL, and galectin‐3 in complex biological samples. Plasmonic amplification substantially enhances fluorescence signals, enabling sensitive biomarker quantification with a low‐cost smartphone ...

Interface Dynamics in Biomolecular Condensates by High‐Speed AFM
High‐speed atomic force microscopy provides nanoscale structural dynamics at the liquid interface of biomolecular condensates, key elements in several cellular pathways. By addressing the challenges of low surface tension and condensate‐induced instabilities, we achieve nanometer spatial and sub‐second temporal resolution, revealing structural ...
