Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Reduced Graphene Oxide Enhances the Vascular Organization and Contractile Performance of Fibrin‐Gelatin‐Based Engineered Cardiac Tissue

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Fibrin–gelatin hydrogels functionalized with reduced graphene oxide create a mechanically stable and bioactive 3D environment for engineered cardiac tissue. The composite matrix promotes endothelial lumen formation, enhances sarcomeric protein expression, and increases contractile performance of embedded cardiomyocytes.

Pre‐Regenerative Endothelial Cells Empowered by Antler Blood Exosomes Orchestrate Peripheral Nerve Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The pre‐regenerative vascular niche (PVN) is essential for nerve repair, yet its endothelial blueprint remains unclear. We identified angiogenic ECs (AECs) as the dominant pre‐regenerative subset and found that antler blood–derived exosomes (AB‐EXO) promote repair via IMP3.

Differentiation of spontaneously contracting cardiomyocytes from non-virally reprogrammed human amniotic fluid stem cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect. The limiting factor in tissue engineering repair strategies is an autologous source of functional cardiomyocytes.

Deciphering Anti‐Cancer Drug Efficacy Through Nanomechanical Vibrations in Living Gastric Cancer Organoids

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed an efficacy assessment platform that integrates patient‐derived gastric cancer organoids, atomic force microscopy (AFM)‐based nanomechanical vibration detection, deep learning analysis, and organoid mechanical modeling. It detects picomolar drug effects within 0.1 s signal, achieves 97% classification accuracy, and offers non ...

Tumor Mechanical Remodeling via Bidirectional Calcium Redistribution Enables Deep Photothermal‐Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bidirectional calcium‑redistributing nanomodulator rewires intra‑extracellular calcium homeostasis to remodel tumor mechanical microenvironments. It softens tumor stroma to facilitate deep tissue penetration while stiffening tumor cells, evoking amplified immunogenic cell death and robust CTL infiltration, which achieves potent deep photothermal ...

Curvature‐Directed Elongation and Chiral Tilting Drive Asymmetric Tissue Patterning

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Curvature and cell handedness together break tissue symmetry. On convex and concave surfaces, cells elongate along opposite geometric axes and tilt in a consistent chirality‐driven direction, yielding opposite alignment patterns from the same cells. Reversing intrinsic cell chirality reverses both.

Digoxin Alleviates Osteoarthritis by Inhibiting Macrophage Extracellular Trap Formation via Disruption of the LSP1‐SOD1 Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Synovial macrophages in osteoarthritis upregulate LSP1, which directly binds and inhibits SOD1, triggering a redox imbalance that activates both NOX and mitochondrial ROS pathways. This cascade drives the release of macrophage extracellular traps (METs), causing chondrocyte damage and disease progression.

A Narrative Review of Current and Investigational Therapies in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Biomedicines
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most prevalent inherited cardiac condition, distinguished by an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Diagnosis can be achieved through echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and genetic testing ...

Mechanically Regulated Secretion: How Physical Forces Instruct the Secretory Pathway and Remodel the Secretome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical cues, including ECM stiffness, stretch, compression, shear stress, and traction forces, remodel trafficking across the secretory pathway, from the ER and Golgi to endolysosomal compartments and the plasma membrane. The resulting secretome reshapes ECM composition and tissue mechanics, establishing feedback loops that support homeostasis or ...
