Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

Highly Efficient and Stable Roll‐to‐Roll Coated Perovskite Solar Cells Enabled by Antisolvent Vapor‐Assisted Crystallization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Antisolvent Vapour‐Assisted Crystallization (AVAC) enables controlled perovskite crystallization through precisely metered antisolvent vapour, eliminating liquid antisolvent waste. Compatible with roll‐to‐roll (R2R) slot‐die coating, AVAC produces uniform, pinhole‐free films with enlarged grains, delivering efficiencies of 18.3% for R2R fabricated ...

Human iPSC‐Derived Tissue‐Engineered Nigrostriatal Pathway for Chronic Restoration of Dopaminergic Axon Tracts in a Rat Parkinson's Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by conventional cell therapy and emerging bioengineering approaches, the tissue‐engineered nigrostriatal pathway (TE‐NSP) has an anatomically‐inspired design comprising a population of human dopaminergic neurons with unidirectional, long‐projecting axon tracts.

Engineering Antigen Density on M13 Bacteriophage for Personalized Nanovaccine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Increasing antigen density on the phage capsid impacts phage uptake and antigen cross‐presentation by antigen‐presenting cells, leading to enhanced activation of antitumor CD8+ T cells in the draining lymph nodes. These activated CD8+ T cells subsequently recognize the antigen‐expressing tumors and mediate their specific cytotoxic killing, thereby ...
