Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Social value-weighted greenspace exposure index: A novel metric integrating cultural ecosystem services for equitable benefits

Ecological Indicators
Well-maintained urban greenspaces (UGSs) can provide benefits for human health and recreation. Existing evaluations often focus solely on greenspace presence, overlooking their attractiveness and the resulting quality as perceived by the citizens. Thereby, we lack comprehensive understanding on whether citizens have equal access to high-quality UGSs ...

Optimized Cas9‐Enriched Nanopore Sequencing and Analysis Workflow for Clinical Diagnosis of Repeat Expansion Disorders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An optimized Cas9‐enriched nanopore sequencing workflow, combined with STRiker, enables simultaneous analysis of disease‐associated STR loci from patient blood. The nCATS–STRiker workflow detects repeat expansions, de novo repeat motifs, interruption patterns, and methylation in a single assay, improving the genetic diagnosis of previously undiagnosed ...
