Viscoelasticity, Lubricity, and Wear Prevention of Cross‐Linked Mucin Gels
Physiologically, biolubrication by mucus reduces friction and protects tissues from tribological stress, with mucins playing a key role. This study compares mucin‐based gels with distinct crosslinking architectures to explore their effect on the lubrication and wear prevention abilities of reconstituted mucin gels.

Biocompatibility and Long‐Term Stability of DNA‐Based Organic Mixed Conductors for Bioelectronics
The biocompatibility and long‐term stability of DNA‐based mixed ionic‐electronic conductors are investigated. In vitro cytotoxicity and cell viability are assessed using flow cytometry assay on primary mouse fibroblasts cultures. The biocomposites are integrated into organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) to determine the stability of their ...

4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...
