A Thickness‐Invariant Origami Robot With Integrated Actuation and Multimodal Locomotion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thickness‐invariant variation on the Yoshimura origami pattern is used as the basis of a robot, allowing power, actuation, and control systems to be embedded within the thickened panels of the pattern. The robot uses multiple kinematic branches to achieve distinct modes of locomotion, such as walking, running, galloping, and turning. ABSTRACT Origami

Arrayed Magnetic Accelerator Synergistically Enhances Orthodontic Tooth Movement via Microtubule Assembly‐Mediated Periodontal Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical orthodontic treatment for malocclusion is limited by slow remodeling and risks due to poor biomechanical sensing. This study shows that static magnetic fields (SMFs) enhance mechanical sensation in periodontal ligament cells, promoting inflammation and osteoclast activity.

TNAP and PHOSPHO1 Function Synergistically to Afford Critical Control Over the Mineralization of the Postnatal Murine Skeleton

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Biomineralization underpins skeletal development, yet its molecular control remains incompletely understood. Using a novel murine knockout model, this study reveals the essential and complementary roles of PHOSPHO1 and TNAP in postnatal skeletal development.

Customized Itinerant Frequency Combs by Cascaded Nonlinear Effects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cascaded third‐order nonlinear system generates an itinerant frequency comb with the comb center frequency decoupled from the cavity resonance. This enables arbitrary spectral scaling, flexible spacing adjustments, and real‐time central‐frequency engineering, allowing comb splicing and subdivision. The resulting versatility and reconfigurability open

PIAS3 CircRNA‐Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles Restore ALOX15 SUMOylation to Suppress Cementoblast Ferroptosis and Attenuate Orthodontically Induced Root Resorption

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Orthodontic compression suppresses PIAS3 expression in cementoblasts, impairing ALOX15 SUMOylation and ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, which leads to ALOX15 accumulation, lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis, and osteoclastogenesis. Local delivery of PIAS3 circRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles restores the PIAS3–ALOX15 regulatory pathway, alleviates ...

Salivary Citrate Deficiency Defines an Endogenous Dentin Remineralization Failure State Through Glandular MT1/2‐Zn2+‐ACO2 Dysregulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Salivary citrate deficiency in early‐stage Sjögren's syndrome accompanies impaired dentin remineralization despite preserved salivary flow and mineral availability. Matched‐ion experiments reveal disrupted mineral organization and reduced dentin recovery at disease‐associated citrate levels.
