In Situ Programmable Modulation of Hydrogel Stiffness for Stage‐Adaptive Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation triggers Ca2+ release from thermoresponsive nanocarriers, enabling in situ stiffening of an adaptive hydrogel from a soft to a stiff state, thereby sequentially supporting mesenchymal stromal cell stemness and osteogenic differentiation for stage‐adaptive bone regeneration.

Hydrogels based on N-isopropylmethacrylamide and N-isopropylacrylamide [PDF]

Advanced Technologies, 2018
Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymer networks which have the capacity to retain a large quantity of water or biological fluids in the swollen state. Thermosensitive hydrogels have received special attention of researchers since they represent a parameter which frequently changes in chemical, biological and physiological systems.

Self‐Driving Laboratory Optimizes the Lower Critical Solution Temperature of Thermoresponsive Polymers

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐
