The Hierarchical Structure of Sheep Wool and Its Impact on Physical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sheep wool, a prevalent α‐keratinous fiber, is an essential model for studying protein‐based fibers. Its genetic diversity across breeds enables the establishment of multiscale structure‐property relationships, uncovering previously elusive insights into wool's hierarchical structure.

Multiscale Profiling of Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Framework Biocompatibility and Immune Interactions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A multi‐scale, hierarchical ‘Safety‐by‐Design’ pipeline combining machine learning, ex vivo human blood assays, and in vivo models enables the systematic immunotoxicity and biocompatibility profiling of nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks, accelerating their safe clinical translation. Abstract The clinical translation of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) –

Rational Design of Metal–Organic Frameworks for Pancreatic Cancer Therapy: from Machine Learning Screening to In Vivo Efficacy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work explores the MOF landscape to select a single, optimal candidate for successfully delivering cancer drugs (gemcitabine, paclitaxel, SN‐38) into tough pancreatic tumors. Machine learning and simulations guide this search, demonstrating colloidal stability, excellent biocompatibility, cellular uptake, and sustained release.
