Towards High‐Acuity Vision Restoration: Hybrid Retinal Prosthesis Composed of a High‐Density Multielectrode Array Integrated With Glutamatergic Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel Hybrid Retinal Implant (HRI), composed of a high‐density electrode array integrated with glutamatergic neurons to overcome key limitations of current retinal prostheses. The significant reduction of activation threshold and of electrode cross‐talk yields in an improved spatial resolution.

Rolling Ultrasharp Microneedle Spheres Enable Topical Delivery of Biologics Through the Skin

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Rolling ultraminiaturized microneedle spheres (RUMS), created via two‐photon polymerization, unlock effective and painless topical delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) and drugs through the skin. By gently forming thousands of microscopic pores, RUMS boost skin permeability by up to 100‐fold.

An Innovative “Tooth‐On‐Chip” Microfluidic Device Emulating the Structure and Physiology of the Dental Pulp Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a “tooth‐on‐chip” device that mimics dental pulp tissue. By co‐culturing key cell types, it recreates vascular networks, stem cell niches, the odontoblast/dentine interface, and trigeminal innervation. This innovative platform provides a unique model of dental pulp structure and physiology, with significant potential for accelerating

Robust pH Sensing Using a Graphene Oxide and Covalent Organic Frameworks Composite for Gastro‐esophageal Reflux Disease Diagnosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A stable composite pH sensor is developed by coating graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to improve stability and sensitivity in acidic environments. The GO/COFs sensor demonstrates high selectivity, linearity, and biocompatibility, offering a promising strategy for continuous pH monitoring in gastro‐esophageal reflux
