Self‐Adaptive Allantoin@ZIF8 Nanocomposite Hydrogel with Resveratrol Synergy for MRSA‐Infected Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on allantoin‐loaded ZIF8 nanoparticles (Alla@ZIF8) and methacrylated quaternary ammonium carboxymethyl chitosan/resveratrol composite hydrogels (RMQCC), an adaptive multifunctional hydrogel system (Alla@ZIF8‐Gel) was constructed and confirmed to induce the healing of MRSA‐infected wounds via suppressing bacterial proliferation, alleviating ...

Oil‐Coated Nanoplastics Induce Rapid Membrane Disruption and Severe Intestinal Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic food containers used in food delivery may pose underrecognized health risks by releasing micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs), especially when in contact with oil‐rich foods. Here, we show that cooking oil dramatically increased MNP release from polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)‐coated containers within 3 min of microwave heating ...

Cascade‐Responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF Heterostructure Integrates Antioxidant Activity, Infection Control, and Vascularization for Tracheal Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cascade‐responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF/GelMA hydrogel is engineered as a “skeleton–backpack” platform for extensive tracheal repair. The MXene framework scavenges postoperative ROS and converts NIR light into mild hyperthermia, while the Cu‐MOF component provides pH/NIR‐responsive Cu2+ dosing for infection control, angiogenesis, and chondrogenesis.

Forecasting Root Rot Disease through Predictive Microbial Functional Profiling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Predicting soil‐borne disease moves beyond observation with a framework that elevates microbial functional genes into reliable forecasting biomarkers. By coupling targeted qPCR assays for core stress‐response genes with machine learning, this method detects root rot risks in pre‐symptomatic soils with over 80% accuracy.

Bioinspired Engineering of Streamlined Skeletal Interoception: Neural Bioprinted Piezoelectric Scaffolds for Neuro‐Vascularized Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops neural bioprinted piezoelectric scaffolds which construct local “sensor‐effector” circuit, inspired by the skeletal interoception system. Upon US stimulation sensing and mechanoelectrical coupling by PLLA nanofibers, the incorporated DRG neurons effect through Ca2+ influx‐induced enhanced secretion and expression of CGRP.
