True Closed‐Loop Recyclable Hydrogels Enabled by Imine Boronic Ester Crosslinking
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Subtle molecular differences in imine boronic ester crosslinkers profoundly influence hydrogel properties. 2‐formylphenylboronic acid crosslinkers form previously undisclosed 3‐amino‐benzoxaborole heterocycles, enhancing elasticity despite lower crosslinking density compared to their 4‐formylphenylboronic acid counterparts.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A soap‐film inspired strategy enables the fabrication of ultrathin yet robust GelMA‐PAAm membranes for breathing lung culture. The hydrogel membrane supports long‐term cyclic deformation under air‐liquid interface conditions, enabling physiologically relevant breathing motions of engineered lung tissue culture. ABSTRACT Breathing continuously stretches
