Organic field‐effect transistor (OFET)‐based biosensors are promising for wearable technology due to their flexibility and low cost, but their susceptibility to signal drift from mechanical stress and environmental factors remains a challenge. Here, we highlight a novel strategy that eliminates these drifts through a fundamental redesign of the OFET ...

Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.
