Curvature‐Directed Elongation and Chiral Tilting Drive Asymmetric Tissue Patterning
Curvature and cell handedness together break tissue symmetry. On convex and concave surfaces, cells elongate along opposite geometric axes and tilt in a consistent chirality‐driven direction, yielding opposite alignment patterns from the same cells. Reversing intrinsic cell chirality reverses both.

Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

SLC25A4high hepatocytes drive metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remission by recruiting lipid‐eating macrophages. The hepatocyte Slc25a4/PANX1/ATP/P2ry12 axis mediates find‐me signaling that triggers macrophage recruitment and efferocytosis, while recruited macrophages secrete GDF15 to activate hepatocyte PPARα and promote fatty acid

Where and when should a cancer vaccine be administered? A whole‐body PBPK model demonstrates that systemic immune transport critically determines vaccination efficacy. By simulating how organ‐specific immune interactions influence treatment response, the study provides a quantitative framework for optimizing cancer vaccination strategies.

Sea Cucumber‐Inspired Double‐Network Biopolymer Hydrogels for Programmable Soft Machines
Inspired by the mutable dermis of sea cucumbers, the collagen‐alginate double‐network elastomeric (CoDE) hydrogel achieves programmable, recoverable, and functional mechanical behavior. The CoDE hydrogel mimics the mutable stiffness of the sea cucumber dermis through a densified collagen cryogel scaffold that is secondarily reinforced by a dissipative,
