Robust Bio‐Textiles Via Mycelium‐Cellulose Interface Engineering
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a new class of sustainable textiles by growing mycelium, the root‐like structure of fungi, into cellulose‐based fabrics. This semi‐interpenetrating mycelium‐cellulose fiber network combines the strength and breathability of natural fibers with the water‐resistant and adhesive properties of mycelium, resulting in a robust, scalable,

An Ionic Gelation Powder for Ultrafast Hemostasis and Accelerated Wound Healing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An ultrafast ionic gelation‐activated hemostatic powder (AGCL) forms a hydrogel within ≈1 s upon contact with blood‐derived calcium ions. The AGCL powder enables rapid hemorrhage control, strong tissue adhesion, and enhanced healing. The powder's pre‐crosslinked polymer network ensures high blood uptake and stability, offering effective treatment for ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Radiotherapy damages bone and disrupts osteocyte function, yet mechanically mediated protection remains largely unexplored. This study demonstrates that low‐magnitude, high‐frequency (LMHF) vibration mitigates irradiated osteocyte apoptosis, restores their ability to regulate breast cancer extravasation, and acts synergistically with radiotherapy to ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work presents a “tooth‐on‐chip” device that mimics dental pulp tissue. By co‐culturing key cell types, it recreates vascular networks, stem cell niches, the odontoblast/dentine interface, and trigeminal innervation. This innovative platform provides a unique model of dental pulp structure and physiology, with significant potential for accelerating

Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...
