Identification and Characterization of an In Silico Designed Membrane‐Active Peptide with Antiviral Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Multifunctional Gelatin‐Based Smart Films Integrating Thermochromic Encryption, Temperature‐Regulated Photothermal Management, Reprocessability, and Biodegradability for Sustainable Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multifunctional gelatin films synergizing thermochromic encryption, self‐regulating photothermal management, and closed‐loop recyclability offer sustainable solutions for intelligent packaging. ABSTRACT Multifunctional gelatin‐based smart films are engineered by incorporating hyperbranched polyglycerol (HBPG) as a plasticizer, dialdehyde β‐cyclodextrin

IgG‐Bridging–Seeded Synergistic Aggregation of SARS‐CoV‐2 Spikes Underlies Potent Neutralization by a Low‐Affinity Antibody

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low‐affinity antibodies are frequently disregarded in discovery pipelines. This work reports P5‐1C8, a Class 1 SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody with weak trimer binding (KD‐to‐IC50 > 3700‐fold) yet potent neutralization of Omicron JN.1. Structural, biophysical, functional, and coarse‐grained simulations collectively demonstrate that transient inter‐spike IgG ...

Piezo‐Phototronic PVDF/HfO2/Nano‐Cu Heterostructured Thin Film for Flexible Self‐Powered Multimodal Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrospinning a composite of PVDF, HfO2, and nano‐Cu transforms the discrete precursors into a continuous nanofiber mesh, forming a multi‐interface heterostructure with embedded nanoparticles. The presence of HfO2 and nano‐Cu at the fiber interfaces induces a highly aligned β‐phase, which enhances piezoelectric crystallinity and improves the material'
