Two‐Phase Rubber–Plastic Matrices’ Stabilization of Organic Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence Afterglows Better than Plastic Matrix

Small Structures, 2023
The rigid yet polar polymers as matrices for organic‐doped room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) polymers are widely reported, but nonpolar rigid plastics such as polystyrene (PS) are thought to be ineffective matrix and rarely attempted.

Mechanical behavior of stretchable conductive materials based on elastomeric core: experimental and theoretical simulation

Functional Composite Materials, 2022
The mechanical behavior of braided carbon nanotube yarns (CNTYs) on an elastomeric core to produce stretchable conductive materials were theoretically modeled and experimentally studied under tension. The elastomeric core served as the stretchable spring

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Architecting nanoconfined multiphase gels as a reprocessable and multistimuli-responsive 4D printing platform

Nano Research
Four-dimensional (4D)-printed shape memory gels (SMGs) have shown great potential for bionic scaffolds and soft robotics. However, their practical deployment is often limited by insufficient mechanical strength and reprocessability.
