Composite Microgels with Dynamically Switchable Stiffness
Composite microgels comprising alginate and mucin are produced, in which covalent and ionics cross‐links are combined such that the mechanical properties of the microgels can be tuned on demand at any time post‐production. In addition, the mucin component conveys bacteria‐repellent properties to the cytocompatible microgels.

Role of testicular fine‐needle aspiration in the modern male reproductive urologist′s practice
Abstract Background Azoospermia affects 10%–15% of infertile men, with non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) most often managed by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). Despite AUA/ASRM guidelines recommending mTESE, some urologists employ testicular fine‐needle aspiration (TFNA) mapping as a diagnostic adjunct.
