Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition marked by progressive cartilage breakdown, and a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, where conventional therapies largely fail to halt disease progression. To address this unmet need, an intra‐articularly implantable, disease‐responsive scaffold was developed for combinatorial

Biomimicry and Textiles: Inspiration from Nature
, 2019 Humans have been creating textiles for over five thousand years, and these textiles are becoming increasingly technical. 1 However, we shouldn't forget the inspiration that comes from nature rather than modern day advances.

Advances and Perspectives in Graphene‐Based Quantum Dots Enabled Neuromorphic Devices
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Graphene‐based QDs are zero‐dimensional carbon nanomaterials with pronounced quantum confinement and tunable electronic structures. Herein, we summarize their synthesis strategies and functionalization methods, and highlight their functional roles and operating mechanisms in devices, as well as recent advances in neuromorphic electronics. We anticipate

In Situ Programmable Modulation of Hydrogel Stiffness for Stage‐Adaptive Bone Regeneration
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation triggers Ca2+ release from thermoresponsive nanocarriers, enabling in situ stiffening of an adaptive hydrogel from a soft to a stiff state, thereby sequentially supporting mesenchymal stromal cell stemness and osteogenic differentiation for stage‐adaptive bone regeneration.

Biomimicry as a sustainable design methodology : introducing the ‘Biomimicry for Sustainability’ framework [PDF]
, 2023 Biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach to study and transfer principles or mechanisms from nature to solve design challenges, frequently differentiated from other design disciplines by its particular focus on and promise of sustainability.
