Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Over 95% Optical Reflectance From Structurally Modulated All‐Biopolymer Multilayers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new dense–porous design turns ordinary polysaccharides into highly reflective photonic multilayers. Alternating dense pectin and porous cellulose nanofiber layers create strong refractive‐index contrast without inorganic or synthetic polymers, enabling nearly perfect visible reflection, high near‐infrared reflection, broadband metallic‐like colors ...

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

A Noninvasive Approach to Study Localized Forces in 3D Epithelia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Epithelial morphogenesis depends on dynamic mechanical coupling between adhesion complexes and the cytoskeleton, yet its regulation in polarized 3D tissues remains elusive. We developed a noninvasive strategy using cell‐like elastic microbeads to quantify local forces in intact epithelia.

Tailored Cationic Visible‐Light‐Active Interfaces for Sustainable, Biodegradable Nanofibers With Dual‐Mode Antimicrobial Activity and Robust Electrostatic Particle Capture

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Surface co‐functionalization of biodegradable nanofibers with sodium copper chlorophyllin and quaternary ammonium compounds achieves synergistic antimicrobial activity through combined photodynamic and contact‐killing mechanisms. The cationic surface provides humidity‐resistant electrostatic particle capture while maintaining rapid enzymatic ...
