Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

Exciton Binding Energy Modulation in 2D Perovskites: A Phenomenological Keldysh Framework
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The intrinsic screening effects are successfully decoupled from structural distortion by rigorously designing a series of 2D perovskites. This enabled us to demonstrate how the dielectric environment modulates the quasiparticle bandgap and exciton binding energy.
