Biohybrid Crawling Robot With Spiral‐Spring Backbone and Inclined Legs for Enhanced Locomotion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present a biohybrid crawling robot integrating a muscle ring with a flexible skeleton combining two complementary structural elements. The spiral‐spring backbone enables large‐amplitude bending without compromising axial stability, while outward‐inclined legs with unequal front–rear lengths effectively convert deformation into directional strides ...

Ameliorating the Fibrotic Remodeling of the Heart through Direct Cardiac Reprogramming

Cells, 2019
Coronary artery disease is the most common form of cardiovascular diseases, resulting in the loss of cardiomyocytes (CM) at the site of ischemic injury. To compensate for the loss of CMs, cardiac fibroblasts quickly respond to injury and initiate cardiac

Highly Sensitive Broadband Photodetectors Based on Donor–Acceptor 2D Conjugated Coordination Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor molecular design and chemical vapor deposition growth enable the two‐dimensional nickel‐tetraaminobenzoquinone films with strong broadband absorption and efficient charge separation. The resulting photodetectors exhibit a structured broadband response with a high responsivity of ∼3.1 A W−1 and a response time of ∼170 µs, which surpasses ...

Analysis of the dynamic co-expression network of heart regeneration in the zebrafish

Scientific Reports, 2016
The zebrafish has the capacity to regenerate its heart after severe injury. While the function of a few genes during this process has been studied, we are far from fully understanding how genes interact to coordinate heart regeneration.

Dual Single Atoms Boosting Photocatalytic Upcycling of Raw Polyvinylidene Fluoride Plastic

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To resolve the catastrophic disaster of plastic contamination, the Cu‐Fe dual‐single‐atom‐loaded In2P3S9 NSs photocatalyst was prepared for direct conversion of raw polyvinylidene fluoride plastic into valuable chemicals. The dual‐single‐atom catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total acetic/formic acid production of ∼1351.8 µmol g−1 ...

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Vitamin C‐Induced Photo‐Redox Threshold Enables High‐Fidelity Volumetric Printing of Collagen

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tomographic volumetric printing (TVP) of native proteins is limited by uncontrolled background crosslinking. Here, vitamin C is introduced as a biocompatible redox regulator to establish a tunable nonlinear polymerization threshold response for TVP.

Border-zone cardiomyocytes and macrophages regulate extracellular matrix remodeling to promote cardiomyocyte protrusion during cardiac regeneration

Nature Communications
Despite numerous advances in our understanding of zebrafish cardiac regeneration, an aspect that remains less studied is how regenerating cardiomyocytes invade and replace the collagen-containing injured tissue.

GaSex Nanoparticles Modulate Neutrophil Function and Mitigate NET‐Driven Osteogenic Impairment in Osteomyelitis Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐
