At‐Home Early Diagnosis of Mastitis: Calibration‐Free Analysis of Sodium to Potassium Ratio in Breast Milk

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAMAWEL is introduced as the first calibration‐free potentiometric sensor for at‐home mastitis diagnosis. By measuring the sodium‐to‐potassium ratio in breast milk, the device reliably differentiates between healthy and mastitis‐affected samples with less than 10% error.

School-age outcomes among IVF and ICSI-conceived children: a causal inference analysis using linked population-wide data

BMC Medicine
Background Use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) continues to increase as the most common mode of oocyte insemination during in vitro fertilisation (IVF), sometimes in the absence of clear indications (i.e. male factor infertility).

Guided Bone Regeneration Membrane Materials Loaded with Chimeric Nanovesicles Promote Early Bone Defect Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Early bone regeneration is challenged by poor osteogenic microenvironments. We developed a novel guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane: a plasma‐treated polycaprolactone (PT‐PCL) electrospun nanofiber functionalized with ultrasound sequentially extruded stromal vascular fraction chimeric vesicles (USE‐SCNVs). USE‐SCNVs require less equipment, enhance

Induction of Nephron–Ductal Dual Lineages via Early Retinoic Acid Signaling Establishes a Platform for Fully Patterned Kidney Organoids

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified, co‐culture‐free protocol for kidney organoids that generate segmented nephrons, including collecting ducts, has been developed. Early low‐dose RA with FGF9 induces balanced anterior–posterior IM patterning and dual UE/MM lineage commitment. BMP7 enhances nephron progenitor maturation.
