Conductive Hydrogels for Exogenous Sensing and Cell Fate Control

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We engineer electrically conductive hydrogels by combining sulfated glycosaminoglycans with semiconducting polymers. These hydrogels bind bioactive proteins, including growth factors, whose release or retention can be modulated by low‐voltage stimulation. The hydrogels are also integrated as 3D channels in organic electrochemical transistors as part of

Biochar application enhances ant (Formica japonica) ecological functions as indicated by their social behaviors

Biochar
Soil fauna activity is crucial for soil ecosystem functioning and health, but soil remediation techniques, such as biochar application, are seldom examined for their influence on soil fauna activity.

Cation-driven electrostatic modulation enhances Cr(VI) reduction by biochar

Environmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
The coexistence of cations and anions critically influences contaminant behavior in various environments, yet their roles in redox-driven remediation remain underexplored.

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

Recovery of 1559 metagenome-assembled genomes from the East China Sea’s low-oxygen region

Scientific Data
The Changjiang Estuary and adjacent East China Sea are well-known hypoxic aquatic environments. Eutrophication-driven hypoxia frequently occurs in coastal areas, posing a major threat to the ecological environment, including altering community structure ...

Expandable Nanocomposite Shape‐Memory Hemostat for the Treatment of Noncompressible Hemorrhage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nanocomposite‐coated shape memory foam rapidly expands, accelerates clotting, and reduces blood loss in vivo. Its fast volumetric expansion and strong procoagulant activity make it a promising hemostat for treating deep, noncompressible hemorrhage.

Environmental aging enhanced the ability of biochar to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soil through combined adsorption and microbial community regulation: A mechanistic analysisMendeley data

Industrial Crops and Products
The remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils via biochar involves both adsorption and microbial community regulation, yet the impact of environmental aging on this synergistic mechanism remains unclear.

A Bifunctional T3SS‐Effector Simultaneously Cleaves Host MAP Kinase and Inhibits PPM1A Phosphatase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pathogenic bacteria exploit the metalloprotease effector NleD to subvert host defenses. Structural, biochemical, and infection analyses reveal a bifunctional mechanism by which NleD binds and inhibits the host phosphatase PPM1A while preserving its proteolytic activity against MAPKs.

Divergent Responses of Bacterial Communities to Permafrost Degradation and Their Associations With Carbon Across Vertical Profiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bacterial α‐diversity decreases, but stochasticity and community stability increase across the 15 m‐depth vertical profiles and along the degraded gradient within the active layer. The abundance and interaction of core taxa mainly control community stability in the active and permafrost layers, respectively.
