Directional Confinement Governed Ion Transport for Efficient Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Structural anisotropy provides an effective means to regulate ion transport in polymer electrolytes. Directionally aligned channels formed by freeze‐drying provide continuous pathways for ion migration, enhancing ion mobility and simultaneously improving the strain and blocking force of ionic actuators.

Blending With Insulating Polymers Enables Stable Anti‐Ambipolar Characteristics in n‐Type Organic Mixed‐Conductors for Heterogeneous Spiking Neurons

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A polymer blend of n‐type OMIEC P(gNDI‐gT2) with insulating PMMA yields mechanically stabilized, anti‐ambipolar organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) with tunable ionic‐electronic transport. This blending allows low‐power, fast‐spiking heterogeneous Hodgkin–Huxley neurons, enabling biomimetic frequency deconvolution and reservoir computing, which

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

A Noninvasive Approach to Study Localized Forces in 3D Epithelia

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Epithelial morphogenesis depends on dynamic mechanical coupling between adhesion complexes and the cytoskeleton, yet its regulation in polarized 3D tissues remains elusive. We developed a noninvasive strategy using cell‐like elastic microbeads to quantify local forces in intact epithelia.

Defined Matrices Reveal Epithelial‐ and Mesenchymal‐Specific Responses to Stiffness and Adhesion in Human iPSC‐Derived Intestinal Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Defined PEG hydrogels enable human iPSC‐derived intestinal organoid culture without Matrigel. PEG‐ and Matrigel‐cultured organoids both support duodenal‐like epithelial identity, but direct comparison reveals subtle epithelial differentiation‐marker shifts and stronger mesenchymal ECM‐remodeling/integrin programs in PEG.
