Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

Tailored Stereo‐Configuration of Crosslinkable Polyester‐Based Solid Polymer Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State and Binder‐Free Li Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Variations in polymer conformations of unsaturated poly(n‐alkyl esters) driven by monomer‐level stereochemistry directly govern Li+ solvation structures in polymer host matrices. The synergistic strategies of polymer conformation control, UV‐induced interchain crosslinking, and end‐group fluorination are implemented for engineering advanced solid ...

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Electrolyte–Framework Matching in High‐Voltage TEMPO‐COF Cathodes for Lithium Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TEMPO‐functionalized covalent organic frameworks are investigated as high‐voltage cathodes for lithium batteries. Screening five electrolyte anions identifies lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) as the optimal electrolyte, balancing capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability, while buckypaper electrodes achieve high mass loading (40 mg cm−2)
