From Fish Waste to Stable Omega‐3 Bioactive Lipids: Encapsulation Strategies and a Conceptual Framework for Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Functional Food Fortification

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fish waste is valorized into omega‐3‐rich bioactive lipids (EPA and DHA), followed by stabilization through advanced encapsulation technologies to prevent oxidation and improve storage stability. Encapsulation protects polyunsaturated fatty acids from oxidation, improves storage stability, enables controlled gastrointestinal release, and enhances ...

Microgel‐Based Immunomodulatory Biomaterials for Regulating Macrophage Polarization

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are key regulators of the immune system. Modulating their phenotype from pro‐inflammatory (M1) to pro‐regenerative (M2) is key to engineering implantable tissue scaffolds for regenerative medicine. Understanding the cell‐matrix mechanosensitive trends macrophages exhibit with microgel‐based biomaterials will enhance future research.

Multifunctional chitosan-based nanocomposite microgels for reconstructing osteochondral defects

Materials & Design
Treatment of osteochondral (OC) defects is still an immense challenge in clinic due to lack of satisfactory strategy to simultaneously regenerate both cartilage and subchondral bone. Herein, we propose an effective bottom-up strategy by developing a type

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Multi‐Responsive PAA/PNIPAM Semi‐IPN Hydrogel Properties Controlled by PAA Topology

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Polymer topology governs hydrogel behavior in semi‐interpenetrating networks. Cyclic poly(acrylic acid) enables controlled pH‐responsive swelling, improved stability, and enhanced deformability compared to linear analogues, while linear systems show higher strength during thermal de‐swelling.

Curcumin‐Loaded GelMA Microspheres Alleviate Osteoarthritis: Transcriptomic Evidence for Immune Microenvironment Remodeling and ECM Homeostasis Restoration

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 2, August 2026.
This study provides the first multi‐model evidence combined with transcriptomic validation, demonstrating that Cur‐MS not only directly protects chondrocytes and restores extracellular matrix homeostasis but also modulates the joint inflammatory immune microenvironment.

Recombinant Human Collagen in Clinical Medicine

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Collagen is the dominant structural protein of vertebrate connective tissues and a central biomaterial in skin, cornea, tendon, cartilage, bone, vessel, oral mucosa, and wound repair. Traditional collagen products have largely been extracted from bovine, porcine, fish, or other animal tissues.

Light‐Activated Communication Between Synthetic and Living Cells via Photoresponsive Membranes

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Light‐triggered membrane rupture of SCs enables controlled release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and histamine, which activate purinergic and histaminergic signaling in HeLa cells, leading to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. This biomimetic communication platform provides a simple strategy for engineering remotely controlled chemical signaling ...
