Urbanity mapping reveals the complexity, diffuseness, diversity, and connectivity of urbanized areas

Geography and Sustainability
There are urgent calls for new approaches to map the global urban conditions of complexity, diffuseness, diversity, and connectivity. However, existing methods mostly focus on mapping urbanized areas as bio physical entities. Here, based on the continuum

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 ...

Tomographic Printing in a Chip: A Versatile Platform for Biomimetic 3D Organ‐on‐Chip

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A novel light‐based bioprinting approach, TVAM‐in‐a‐chip, enables rapid, contactless fabrication of biomimetic 3D organ‐on‐chip devices directly within preassembled microfluidic platforms. This strategy supports diverse materials, including cell‐laden resins, and eliminates post‐assembly steps.

Stability of Medicinal Nanoemulsions to Spaceflight: Insights From the StarMed Experiment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Chitosan‐coated melatonin nanoemulsions (MN) recovered from a sounding rocket mission preserve droplet size and controlled‐release behavior, whereas uncoated nanoemulsions show ageing‐driven droplet growth and increased accessible drug fraction. Simple polymer coatings thus enhance the flight resilience of liquid space medicines under cumulative launch

SKALE: An Interpretable Multiscale Machine Learning Model for Decoding Phase‐Specific Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Proteinopathies

Aggregate
Protein aggregation drives proteinopathies ranging from ALS to systemic amyloidosis, yet the multiscale determinants bridging sequence, structure, and kinetics remain elusive.

Mechanically Compliant, Precision‐Porous Brain Implants Reduce the Foreign Body Reaction and Guide Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores how the brain responds to implants of different properties. Hydrogels with various mechanical properties and pore sizes were implanted in adult rat brains. It is observed that hydrogels with mechanical property closely matched to the brain and 40 µm pore size elicit a pro‐healing response from the brain by modulating the immune ...

Lipid Nanoparticle Co‐Delivery of mRNA and a Small Molecule Drug for Oral Cancer Chemoimmunotherapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐encapsulation of p53 mRNA and the small molecule ciclopirox within a lipid nanoparticle yields an all‐in‐one chemoimmunotherapy for oral squamous cell carcinoma. The platform engages caspase‐driven apoptosis in cancer cells while repolarizing tumor‐associated macrophages, achieving tumor reduction in both p53‐susceptible and p53‐resistant models and
