An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.

In Situ Interfacial Assembly of Dynamic Semi‐Interpenetrating Biopolymer Networks for Robust and Mechanically Adaptive Droplet Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamic interfacial semi‐interpenetrating polymer network is constructed by sequential assembly of β‐sheet‐rich SF and CS‐RL. The SF framework provides mechanical strength, while dynamically associated CS‐RL enables local rearrangement, allowing droplets to rapidly reconfigure without loss of interfacial integrity.

Fabrication and Characterization of Gel Beads of Whey Isolate Protein–Pectin Complex for Loading Quercetin and Their Digestion Release

Gels, 2021
In this study, emulsion gel beads for loading quercetin were prepared through an emulsification/gelation process using whey protein isolate (WPI) and pectin. Emulsion gel beads’ properties were investigated by different pectin content.

Interactions with Locust Bean Gum Regulate the Gelling Capacity of Myofibrillar Protein Emulsion: Effects of Locust Bean Gum Concentration

Foods
Myofibrillar protein (MP) emulsion systems tend to be unstable, leading to loss of water and oil from the emulsion gel. Thus, improvements in MP emulsification ability are needed to enhance the quality of meat products.

Macrophage–Fibroblast Crosstalk Governs Tumor Mechanics, as Revealed by Spatiotemporal Force Mapping in 3D Spheroids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows crosstalk among tumor cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages alters the physical forces inside 3D tumor spheroids. Incorporating deformable microparticles in 3D tumor spheroids, the researchers mapped mechanical stresses spatially and with respect to tumor growth (temporally).
