On the Molecular Diffusion Dynamics Between Subcutaneous Tissue and Microneedles for Wearable Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate the dynamics of glucose diffusion between subcutaneous tissue and hydrogel‐filled microneedles. Specifically, we examine how hydrogel thickness, microneedle size, and glucose concentration influence diffusion. This study provides an experimental reference to the wearable biosensor community researching microneedle‐based ...

Tetraspanin‐ESCRT sorting drives miR‐29b packaging into extracellular vesicles to reverse fibrosis in intrauterine adhesions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

Spatial Structural Self‐Regulation Engineering Increases Close Pores of Starch‐Derived Hard Carbon for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Spatial structural self‐regulation strategy stimulates the conversion of the hydroxy group (–OH) in starch into carbonyl (–C=O) within a stable three‐dimensional cross‐linking structure. This structure not only reduces the production of water and volatile products, thereby preventing foaming during pyrolysis and improving carbon yield, but also ...
