An Opto‐Actuated Hydrogel for Cell Mechanoactuation and Real‐Time Force Monitoring
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers developed a mechanoactuated hydrogel interface where nanomachines exert forces on adhesion receptors and allow monitoring of traction force responses in real time. They demonstrate reversible talin recruitment, enhanced F‐actin polymerization, and a reduction in cell traction force when force is locally applied to focal adhesions of ...

A Virtual Clinical Trial of Psychedelics to Treat Patients With Disorders of Consciousness
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Disorders of consciousness after severe brain injury are marked by reduced complexity of brain activity and limited treatment options. Using personalized whole‐brain models, this study shows that simulated lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin shift patient brain dynamics closer to criticality.

Unpaired Learning‐Enabled Nanotube Identification from AFM Images
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Identifying nanotubes on rough substrates is notoriously challenging for conventional image analysis. This work presents an unpaired deep learning approach that automatically extracts nanotube networks from atomic force microscopy images, even on complex polymeric surfaces used in roll‐to‐roll printing.
