Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

Shaping Matter with Acoustic Waves: From Particles to Functional Structures
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Acoustic‐directed assembly is reviewed as a materials‐oriented strategy for organizing particles, polymers, metals, and biological systems into functional structures. The review distinguishes reversible manipulation from permanent structure formation through medium fixation, particle fixation, and in situ material generation, highlighting routes toward

Central muscle relaxant properties of 2,6-dimethylphenethylurea and related compounds
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1969 AbstractTwenty-eight phenylalkylureas with alkyl, hydroxy, methoxy or chloro-substituents in the aryl ring have been synthesized and tested for central depressant and muscle relaxant properties. In this series, the dimethylphenethylureas with at least one ortho-methyl group show unexpectedly selective muscle relaxant activity. 2,6-Dimethylphenethylurea

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Chamber‐specific decellularized extracellular matrices (ECMs) were developed, preserving native proteomic profiles of ventricular and atrial myocardium. These innate biochemical cues differentially modulate cardiomyocyte subtypes to drive engineered heart tissue development and function, highlighting the importance of incorporating regional ECM cues in

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Spontaneous helical alignment of smooth muscle cells is induced within resistance‐vessel‐sized channels patterned within a hydrogel. The extent of the cells’ orientation angle is dependent on the presence and composition of ECM proteins lining the channel wall and cell seeding density.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Gonzalez Martinez and collaborators develop a strategy to formulate high performance GelMA‐based bioinks with low solids contents. The resulting bioinks enable 3D bioprinting at 37 °C of high‐fidelity structures with tunable mechanical properties that support high cell viability and function.
