Synchronized Ablation of Multifocal Tumors Enabled by Multi‐Channel Lanthanide Nanocomposites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multi‐channel lanthanide nanocomposite enables orthogonal monitoring of tumor pH, glutathione, and temperature to guide customized therapy. Real‐time luminescence readouts determine a single irradiation protocol that synchronizes drug release and photothermal treatment, allowing efficient ablation of multifocal tumors while minimizing overtreatment ...

GaSex Nanoparticles Modulate Neutrophil Function and Mitigate NET‐Driven Osteogenic Impairment in Osteomyelitis Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐

Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.
