Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Bioprinting High‐Cell‐Density Cardiac Tissue Constructs With Sustained Contractile Function

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Contractile cardiomyocytes in 3D culture provide insights into the behavior of the heart. Combining a 3D bioprinting approach with a multi‐electrode array allows the development of the 3D culture to be monitored over time, and matured cultures allow the effect of drugs on cardiac function to be modelled, replicating effects seen in clinical application.

Macrophage Membrane‐Camouflaged Nanozyme Microneedles Restore Immunovascular Homeostasis Through SPP1‐ApoE Signaling in Diabetic Wounds

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Macrophage membrane‐coated Cu/Zn‐MOF nanozyme microneedles (MNs) reprogram the diabetic wound microenvironment through localized, minimally invasive delivery. By suppressing M1‐like macrophage activation while promoting extracellular matrix deposition and angiogenesis, this biomimetic platform accelerates diabetic wound repair.

Encoded Cell‐Material Interactions to Reroute Cytokine Signaling for Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We present native MATRIX (Material Activated To Regulate Inducible gene eXpression), a co‐engineered material‐cell platform. Surfaces functionalized with antibodies for endogenous soluble ligands (e.g., IL‐1β or IL‐6) capture and immobilize ligands for presentation to a cognate, engineered synthetic Notch receptor, releasing a transcription factor (TF)

Multicomponent Peptide‐MXene‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel as a Conductive Scaffold for Enhanced Fibroblast Proliferation and Migration Under Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An electrically conductive FmocFF/MXene/hyaluronic acid hydrogel combines extracellular matrix‐like architecture, self‐healing behavior, oxidation‐resistant conductivity, and biochemical cues in a single scaffold. By enabling physiologically relevant electrical stimulation, the platform enhances fibroblast attachment, proliferation, and migration ...
