Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

Polyanhydride‐Based Microparticles for Programmable Pulsatile Release of Diphtheria Toxoid (DT) for Single‐Injection Self‐Boosting Vaccines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a polyanhydride‐based delivery platform for single‐injection, self‐boosting vaccines. The system enables programmable, pulsatile release of diphtheria toxoid with high antigen recovery and is guided by machine learning for tunability. In vivo results show immune responses comparable to multi‐dose regimens, highlighting its potential

Precision Synthesis of a Single Chain Polymorph of a 2D Solid within Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The precise synthesis of 1D materials has enabled the discovery of physical properties only accessible in length scales close to the atomic scale. Herein, it is demonstrated that encapsulation within single‐walled carbon nanotubes with matching diameters leads to a stoichiometric quasi‐1D van der Waals polymorph of a 2D pnictogen chalcogenide, Sb2Te3 ...
