This review charts the evolution of corneal hydrogels from passive replacements to active and intelligent systems, evaluating natural and synthetic materials while addressing design challenges such as transparency and strength. Advanced applications such as scarless wound healing, three‐dimensional bioprinting, and smart wearables are highlighted to ...

Prostate cancer remains a leading cause of male cancer death, yet screening cannot reliably identify aggressive disease, underscoring the need for tissue biomarkers. It is shown that primary tumors increase ER–plasma membrane junction signaling via STIM1/ORP5, whereas metastasis features their loss, Golgi dispersal, and rapid conversion of high‐mannose

An efficient synthesis of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid from N-acetylglucosamine
A novel synthesis of 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid is described, which proceeds in only five steps from the cheap starting material N-acetylglucosamine.

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...
