Biodegradable Conductors for Implantable and Wearable Transient Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biodegradable conductors are essential building blocks for transient bioelectronics, enabling temporary sensing, stimulation, and energy transfer while eliminating the need for device retrieval. This review summarizes biodegradable metals, conducting polymers, ionic conductors, and conductive composites, highlighting degradation mechanisms, material ...

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...

Magnetoactive Hydrogels to Probe Curvature‐Directed Endothelial Cell Mechanosensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a platform to investigate local curvature as a regulator of endothelial mechanosensing independent of shear stress. Magnetoactive hydrogels enable on‐demand curvature of endothelial monolayers to reproduce tortuosity quantified by clinically established metrics.

Bone Organoids Across the Development‐to‐Remodeling Continuum: From Tissue Formation to Functional Competence and Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Mineralization alone does not establish a mature bone organoid. This Review integrates biological foundations, materials design, adaptive remodeling, and translational validation through the development‐to‐remodeling continuum (DRC). By separating biological functions from the evidence supporting them, the framework exposes critical gaps in current ...

Neuronal Uptake of Nano‐Sized PMMA Orthopedic Wear Particles in a Compartmentalized Microfluidic Model Revealed by Label‐Free Confocal Raman Microscopy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nano‐sized orthopedic implant‐derived particles interact with sensory neurons, with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐associated signal detected in neuronal somata following selective axonal exposure in compartmentalized microfluidic cultures. Label‐free confocal Raman microscopy provides complementary chemical evidence of PMMA‐associated material in ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.
