Autonomous Reconfigurable Modular Conductive Hydrogels for Adaptive and Degradable Bioelectronic Interfaces

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Bridging rigid electrodes with soft, irregular tissues demands more than conductivity alone. Modular conductive hydrogels autonomously reconfigure into conformal electrode‐tissue interfaces, coupling mixed ionic‐electronic conduction with tissue‐like mechanics, self‐healing, and degradability.

Strong Enhancement of Er3+ Emission at Room Temperature in Si3N4 Metasurfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Erbium‐doped SiN metasurfaces are engineered to support Mie resonances at 1.55μm$1.55\text{}\mathrm{\mu}\mathrm{m}$, enhancing the local density of optical states and accelerating spontaneous emission. By optimizing nanocylinder radius and implantation depth, room‐temperature PL is increased about 18‐fold, while lifetime shortens by nearly an order of ...

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Distinct endometrial protein profiles in spontaneous and stimulated cycles in women with poor ovarian response: A prospective case-crossover clinical trial.

PLoS ONE
The window of implantation is a critical period for embryo implantation. Ovarian stimulation can disrupt endometrial receptivity, potentially through altered gene expression and downstream protein profiles. However, the impact on the endometrial proteome

Treatment of mixed hearing losses via implantation of a vibratory transducer on the round window.

, 2006
Early clinical findings are reported for subjects implanted with the Vibrant Med-El Soundbridge (VSB) device. The present criteria for the VSB, limiting its application to patients with normal middle ear function, have been extended to include patients ...

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Gonadotropin‐Inhibitory Hormone (GnIH) and Its Receptor GPR147 Mediates Acute Stress‐Induced Activation of the Locus Coeruleus‐SAM Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gonadotropin‐inhibitory hormone (GnIH, also known as RFamide‐related peptide‐3, RFRP‐3) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that regulates vertebrate reproduction via its receptor GPR147. Although GnIH is known to mediate stress‐induced reproductive suppression, its role in broader stress responses remains unclear.

Combating Inflammation and Promoting Anabolism in Osteoarthritic Cartilage Defect With an MMP13‐Sensing Dual‐Drug Scaffold

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition marked by progressive cartilage breakdown, and a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, where conventional therapies largely fail to halt disease progression. To address this unmet need, an intra‐articularly implantable, disease‐responsive scaffold was developed for combinatorial
