Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This project developed a smart bandage‐like patch (a microneedle array) for repairing diabetic bone damage. It intelligently senses signals from infection and inflammation, then releases its medicines in a specific, timed sequence: first an antibacterial agent, then an anti‐inflammatory agent, and finally growth factors.

The Philippine Hybrid Rice Program: A Case for Redesign and Scaling Down [PDF]
Promotion of hybrid rice has been the central goal of the government's rice production program since 2001. Yet, farmers' adoption rate has remained low despite concerted efforts and massive subsidies.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.BioEISense is a microfluidic device with integrated impedance sensors, for real‐time, label‐free monitoring of S. aureus biofilms. In this study, the biofilm culture conditions were optimized to support sensitive and reproducible detection of biofilm formation and eradication under dynamic flow‐through conditions. The system was also validated for both

Multilayered Digital Microfluidic Chip for Cell‐Based Assays
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A multilayered digital microfluidic (mDMF) chip architecture is introduced to improve throughput and robustness in cell‐based assays. By multilayering electrode components and dielectric layers on glass, this design significantly reduces actuation voltage, maintains reliability, and enables expansion of the operational area with minimum current leakage.

Femtosecond‐Laser Mould Texturing Enables Tunable Biointerfaces in COC Microfluidics
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Femtosecond‐laser texturing of injection‐mould inserts enables scalable engineering of biointerfaces in cyclic olefin copolymer microfluidics. Replicated micro‐ and nano‐topographies modulate surface roughness and wettability, leading to texture‐dependent protein adsorption and cell adhesion without chemical post‐processing.

A 3D‐Printed Blister Test Platform for Quantifying Biointerface Adhesion Mechanisms
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A 3D‐printed blister platform enables energy‐resolved characterization of soft hydrogel–rigid interfaces. Integrating precision pressure control with hyperelastic modeling directly quantifies adhesion energy (G) and R‐curve toughening. Results reveal that modulating hydrogel concentration and surface roughness drives a tunable transition from cohesive ...

An Injectable Electroactive Hydrogel Engineered for Stable Bioelectronic Interfaces
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Injectable electroconductive hydrogels enable soft, conformal, and stable bioelectronic interfaces for electroceutical therapies. A catechol‐modified hyaluronic acid/alginate/edge‐functionalized graphene platform combines wet adhesion, shear‐thinning injectability, tissue‐matched mechanics, and electrochemical functionality.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Tunable 3D‐Printed Static Mixers for Gradient Bioprinting With High Cell Viability
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fabrication of native tissue‐like structures with gradual transitions in material properties, cell types, and growth factors remains a major challenge in biofabrication due to the lack of suitable methods. Mimicking the hierarchical organization of living tissues is essential for functional models, yet creating gradient, multimaterial ...
