A Clinical Study of Decellularized Tissue Engineering Hyaline Cartilage Graft (dLhCG) for Articular Cartilage Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current clinical approaches for knee cartilage repair are often limited by hypertrophy and fibrosis in the regenerated tissues. A decellularized tissue‐engineered hyaline cartilage graft (dLhCG), composed of a type II collagen‐based extracellular matrix, has been developed to overcome this limitation.

Dicationic Ion‐Pair Doping Enables Stable and High‐Performing Conducting Polymers for Organic Thermoelectrics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TAB–2TFSI enables efficient ion‐pair doping across a wide range of conjugated polymers, where the strongly oxidizing TAB core drives charge transfer, and the TFSI counterions promote favorable ionic compensation. This dicationic dopant promotes uniform dopant distribution, improves structural order, and increases carrier delocalization, establishing a ...
