Intelligent Theranostic Systems Enabled by Aggregation‐Induced Emission in Precision Medicine
Aggregate, EarlyView.Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) luminogens are driving a new generation of intelligent theranostic systems that integrate high‐fidelity imaging and multifunctional therapy. This review highlights how AIEgens, through restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM), enable deep‐tissue NIR‐II imaging, ultrasensitive biosensing, CRISPR‐assisted gene ...

Thermally Responsive Architected Actuators with Programmable Shape Morphing and Tunable Stiffness
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A tunable‐stiffness architected morphing structure enables programmable shape transformation and load‐bearing functionality through thermal activation. By tessellating rigid particles with shape memory alloy‐based soft connectors, the system achieves simultaneous morphing and stiffness modulation.

The battle for chitin recognition in plant-microbe interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Fungal cell walls play dynamic functions in interaction of fungi with their surroundings. In pathogenic fungi, the cell wall is the first structure to make physical contact with host cells. An important structural component of fungal cell walls is chitin,
