The Bionic Interface: Considering the Material Mediated Electrical Stimulation of Stem Cells
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 2, 8 January 2026.Electrical stimulation directs stem cell fate in tissue engineering. Cellular responses are influenced by membrane properties, intrinsic cell state, material charge‐transport characteristics, and the applied electrical signal. Additionally, a material’s ability to inject, store, and redistribute charge further modulates these responses.

In Vivo Evaluation of Injected and Bioprinted Hyaluronic Acid‐Based Bioink in Corneal Stromal Pocket
Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.Hyaluronic acid‐based bioinks support the viability of cells and keratocyte‐like characteristics. They integrate with host cornea stroma and adapt to irregular pockets through stable in situ gelation. The bioinks remain optically transparent, promote tissue remodeling, and reduce haze and inflammation.
