In Silico Synthesis of Microgel Particles

Macromolecules, 2017
Microgels are colloidal-scale particles individually made of crosslinked polymer networks that can swell and deswell in response to external stimuli, such as changes to temperature or pH. Despite a large amount of experimental activities on microgels, a proper theoretical description based on individual particle properties is still missing due to the ...

A Lipid‐Conjugation Strategy for Intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species Control in Hepatic Cells

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 33, 10 August 2026.
A lipid conjugation strategy anchors a manganese Salen complex within phospholipid membranes, yielding stable, catalytically active liposomes. These lipid–metal assemblies efficiently degrade reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enable intracellular redox control in steatotic HepaRG cells, offering a precise route to biomimetic antioxidant design ...

Structure and Dynamics of Ultra‐Low‐Crosslinked Microgels

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the relationship between microgel internal architecture, zero‐shear viscosity, structural relaxation time, and the ability of ultra‐soft colloidal suspensions to remain viscous fluids under overcrowded conditions. This interplay between microgel compressibility and zero‐shear viscosity is further highlighted by a colloid‐polymer ...

Recent advances in plant protein microgels encapsulated with bioactive compounds

Food Hydrocolloids for Health
Protein microgels and other novel food structuring methods have garnered attention to increase plant protein functionality. Microgels, small particles (0.5–5 μm) that trap a lot of solvent, are made of a three-dimensional network of cross-linked ...

Biomaterial‐Integrated Electroporation for Therapeutic Delivery: From Gene Editing to Tumor Ablation and Immune Modulation

Small, EarlyView.
Biomaterial‐integrated electroporation establishes a programmable therapeutic interface that coordinates electric‐field modulation, transient or irreversible membrane permeabilization, cargo stabilization, and immune remodeling. This Review highlights how nanocarriers, hydrogels, and bioelectronic interfaces expand electroporation from conventional ...

Stress‐Adaptive Biomaterials With Tunable Yielding Architectures Regulate Organoid Morphogenesis

Small, EarlyView.
Granular hydrogels are developed to tune the yield stress levels at which 3D tissue culture matrices undergo plastic deformation. We use these materials to regulate growth‐induced stresses, with demonstrable effects on cancer spheroid invasion and brain organoid morphogenesis.

Reconciling Granular Hydrogel Microstructure and Mechanics via a Temporary Thermo‐Responsive and Cell‐Invadable Matrix

Small, EarlyView.
Thermo‐responsive granular hydrogels (TRGHs), composed of microparticles and an interstitial matrix, exhibit thermo‐responsive mechanical properties and allow cell infiltration. This system effectively addresses the conventional compromise between mechanical strength and porosity observed in granular hydrogels.
