Bioinspired Co‐Assembly Enables Multiscale Architected Hydrogels for 3D Printing With Integrated Antibacterial and Bioactive Functions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multicomponent supramolecular hydrogel integrating cell‐adhesive and antibacterial peptides within an alginate‐cellulose nanofibril matrix is developed. Peptide co‐assembly simultaneously strengthens the hydrogel network, improves extrusion printability, and imparts cell‐adhesive and antibacterial functions, offering a versatile platform for ...

Wearable Kirigami‐Apertured Capacitive Sensors for Continuous Cardiac Volumetric Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A wearable kirigami‐apertured carbon nanotube‐paper composite (K‐CPC) capacitive sensor enables cardiac volumetric monitoring. The kirigami process creates a central aperture with cantilevered fibers that confine the electric field, enhancing both sensitivity and lateral resolution.

Evolutionary and functional dynamics of a leishmanolysin-like immune multigene family during early infection in Philasterides dicentrarchi

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionThe evolutionary dynamics of multigene families are central to shaping host–parasite interactions and immune outcomes. In parasitic protists, expansion and diversification of surface-associated gene families enable immune evasion and host ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Ductile fracture simulations using a multi-surface coupled damage-plasticity model

, 2017
In this paper, an isotropic porous metal plasticity model accounting for both void growth by diffuse plastic deformation and void ‘coalescence’ by localization of plastic flow in the inter-void ligaments is presented. Predictions for the effective stress-strain response, evolution of damage and the strains to failure are obtained by integrating the model ...

Memristive‐Gated RC‐Delay Synaptic Transistors for Time‐Encoded Analog in‐Memory Computing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A Memristive‐Gated Transistor for Time‐Encoded Analog In‐Memory Computing — By exploiting the RC delay of a self‐rectifying interface‐type memristor, nonlinear I–V distortion is structurally bypassed, enabling 3‐bit nonvolatile memory, spike‐timing‐based analog encoding, and hardware‐calibrated reservoir‐computing validation within a unified device ...

Low molar mass ionic liquid’s modified carbon nanotubes and its role in PVDF crystalline stress generation

Nanotechnology Reviews
In this work, the question is whether the positive charge or the confirmation of side chain of an ionic liquid l-methylimidazolium bromide or the modified solid support multi-walled carbon nanotubes affects the heterogeneous crystallization of melt ...

Applying biologically anchored subtypes to advance precision medicine in autism spectrum disorder

Neurobiology of Disease
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is heterogeneous at every level, from behavior to molecular pathways, limiting the value of subgrouping schemes built on surface phenotypes alone.

A 3D Human Neuron‐on‐Chip Platform to Monitor Neuronal Injury Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel 3D Neuron‐on‐Chip model that can maintain human PSC‐derived excitatory prefrontal cortex neurons in 3D hydrogels and can be used to monitor neuronal injury responses over time. Results show injury‐induced acute neuronal excitotoxicity, declining neuronal connectivity, and the activation of a neurodegenerative, SASP‐like ...
