In this study, a cuff‐free, less‐invasive surgical approach for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) by combining ultrathin Y‐shaped kirigami electrodes is developed with a chemically cross‐linked hydrogel adhesive (hydrogel‐kirigami). Unlike conventional cuff implantation, which may damage nerves and nearby critical vessels, this new technique minimizes ...

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

This research highlights a novel application of protein nanoparticles to effectively modulate the strength, breadth, and bias of an immune response against influenza virus. Nanoparticles precisely co‐delivering antigen (H5) and multiple adjuvants (CpG and FliCc) present a way to improve and direct prophylactic immune responses which can be applicable ...

The scaffold‐free Anchored Cell Sheet Engineering platform is used to create three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro models of skeletal muscle tissue that replicate key features of Duchenne and Myotonic dystrophies. These personalized tissue models, validated by histological, immunostaining, and proteomics analyses, accurately mimic disease phenotypes and ...

Schematic representation of circAars‐engineered‐ADSCs incorporated into GelMA scaffolds for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration. CircAars‐engineered ADSCs embedded in GelMA scaffolds enhance the repair of critical‐sized bone defects by binding miR‐128‐3p in the cytoplasm, thereby inhibiting its activity.

Fast‐relaxation viscoelastic hydrogel triggers a metabolic shift in macrophages, favoring oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) over glycolysis via vasodilator‐stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) / hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1α) signaling meditated mechanotransdution, thereby enhancing their capacity to recruit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and ...

A shrinkage‐resistant hydrogel is developed to confer post‐fabrication shape fidelity. The hydrogel, based on recombinant spider silk protein eADF4(C16)‐RGD and collagen‐I, exhibits tunable mechanical properties and shrink‐resistance in the presence of fibroblasts as well as muscle cells.
