Biohybrid Actuators in Compact Arrangement with Embedded X Electrode

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Selective control of multimuscle biohybrid actuators is crucial for achieving complex movements of biohybrid robots. In this study, embedded X electrodes are fabricated to selectively control multiple muscles, realizing the robotic finger's bidirectional movements.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Integrin α8‐Mediated Pericyte Morphogenesis Controls Blood‐Brain Barrier Integrity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights that ITGA8 impacts pericyte morphology and function, both crucial for BBB integrity, via RhoA/ROCK signaling, thus influencing TGF‐β1 activation through cytoskeletal tension and ECM interactions. Notably, in post‐ischemic recovery models, ITGA8 deficiency exacerbates vascular dysfunction by impairing pericyte‐mediated BBB ...

Loss of Fibronectin Fiber Tension in Glioblastoma is Associated with Microvascular Proliferations and Immune Cell Infiltration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers discovered that fibronectin fibers lose their tension in specific areas of glioblastoma brain tumors, accumulating in the lumen of proliferating blood vessels and in parenchyma next to infiltrating immune cell clusters. A novel molecular tension probe enables the mapping of fibronectin's fiber tension in glioblastoma for the first time ...
