Engineering Nanocellulose Scaffolds: Property Modification Strategies and Mechanotransduction‐Driven Tissue Outcomes

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Nanocellulose is being increasingly used in biomedical applications because of its biocompatibility, mechanical robustness, tunable surface chemistry, and adjustable rheology. This review evaluates recent strategies for engineering cellulose nanofibrils, nanocrystals, and bacterial nanocellulose into cell‐instructive scaffolds for skin, bone ...

Scale‐Specific Viscoelastic Characterization of Hydrogels: Integrated AFM and Finite Element Modeling

Small, Volume 22, Issue 15, 12 March 2026.
An integrated multiscale approach reveals distinct viscoelastic responses of hydrogels across length scales. Combining AFM‐based nanoindentation, finite element modeling, and a novel analytical framework, this study enables accurate, scale‐specific mechanical characterization to guide the design of advanced biomaterials. Abstract Viscoelastic hydrogels

Carbon Dot‐Based Mechanofluorescent Hydrogel with Tunable Fluorescence for Bioengineering Applications

Small, Volume 22, Issue 14, 6 March 2026.
Hybrid hydrogels embedded with carbon‐based quantum dots (CQDs) exhibit real‐time fluorescence change in response to compressive force. These hydrogels demonstrate multifunctionality, biocompatibility, and tunable mechanofluorescent behavior, enabling advanced applications in soft robotics.

PPy‐Coated Wire Actuators for the Micromechanostimulation of Cells: Fabrication and Characterization

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
“Ouch!” That's what we say when someone pushes us. Cells do the same. They sense mechanical cues and trigger downstream signals shaping physiological and pathological responses. While the basics of mechanotransduction are known, many pathways remain unexplored.

Novel PMVs/ZIP4/Zinc/Prelamin A Axis Promotes Nuclear Dysmorphism and Vascular Aging in Humans and Rodents Post‐Injury: Effective Treatment With Platelet Membrane‐Coated ZIF‐8 Nanoparticles

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2026.
Interventional therapy and surgical injury induce nuclear dysmorphism and vascular aging. Nuclear dysmorphism is positively associated with vascular aging. Novel PMVs/ZIP4/Zinc/preLamin A axis plays a key role in injury‐induced nuclear dysmorphism and vascular aging.
