Biomimetic Multiscale‐Structured Biomass Graphene/Polyurethane Sponge Composite for Flexible Pressure Sensors and Intelligent Cushioning Materials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a multifunctional conductive sponge composite (MAPU) is developed using a biomimetic, hierarchical construction strategy emulating the growth process of natural wood. This approach involved integrating biomass‐derived graphitic nanoflakes, synthesized from luffa vine (LVGN), into a polyurethane (PU) sponge matrix.

A DNA Tetrahedron Delivery Asiatic Acid to Reprogram Mitochondrial Metabolism for Promoting Bone Regeneration via STAT3 Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA) hydrogel incorporating DNA tetrahedrons loaded with Asiatic acid (TDN@AA) was developed. HM‐TDN@AA promotes angiogenesis of endothelial cells (ECs), inhibits osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs), and enhances osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) via STAT3‐mediated mitochondrial ...
