A Spider Leg‐Inspired mm‐Scale Soft Exoskeleton Enabled by Liquid via Hydration and Charge Transport
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 28, July 10, 2024.Natural organisms feature an unrivaled intertwining between structure and function via the bodily integration of multiple phases, multifunctional materials and architected elements. Learning from this, this study unveils a spider‐leg‐inspired artificial embodiment where the internal electrolyte simultaneously enables compliance conditioning via ...

Photoswitchable Endocytosis of Biomolecular Condensates in Giant Vesicles
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 23, June 19, 2024.This work demonstrates efficient, rapid and reversible light‐guided modulation of membrane‐condensate interactions. Using giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) doped with the photolipid azo‐PC, membrane‐condensate wetting transitions are induced and characterized, enabling swift endocytosis over multiple cycles.

To squeeze or not: Regulation of cell size by mechanical forces in development and human diseases
Biology of the Cell, Volume 116, Issue 2, February 2024.Mechanical forces, such as stretching/tension, compression, growth‐induced pressure and shear stress (blue) can be sensed and translated into cellular and physiological responses. These pathways include mechanosensitive channels (TRPV2, TRPV4), Piezo, mTOR, Hippo/YAP and autophagy (pink).
