Localized NF‐κB Inhibition Reduces Lipid Nanoparticle‐Associated Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) activate NF‐κB and provoke inflammation that limits therapeutic delivery. By encapsulating selective NF‐κB inhibitors within LNPs, localized suppression of inflammatory signaling is achieved without compromising mRNA expression.

Ultrasound Activated Piezoelectric Dural Patches to Drive Endogenous Neural Stem Cell–Mediated Repair Traumatic Brain Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a wireless, non‐invasive strategy for neural repair by developing a biodegradable piezoelectric dural patch that, under transcranial ultrasound, generates localized electrical fields to drive endogenous neural stem cells toward neuronal differentiation and functional integration.

Reduced Variability in Threshold Switches Using Heterostructures of SiOx and Vertically Aligned MoS2

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Heterostructures of SiOx and vertically aligned MoS2 exhibit reliable threshold switching by guiding Ag ion migration through van der Waals gaps. Compared to SiOx‐only devices, these heterostructures demonstrate higher switching voltages, faster switching speeds, and reduced variability.
