Mechanozyme: An Artificial Enzyme With a Mechanophore Framework
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Mechanical destabilization of a G‐quadruplex mechanophore in a DNAzyme markedly boosts its catalytic activity, demonstrating “mechanozymes” as artificial enzymes whose functions are modulated by mechanical stress exerted by ultrasonication. This mechanozyme principle is broadly applicable to control biomolecular activities.

Mechanically Triggered DNA Nanovehicles for Targeted Dual‐Drug Cancer Therapy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A mechanically triggered DNA nanovehicle is introduced that co‐releases two anticancer drugs in response to integrin‐mediated cellular forces. Cholesterol‐anchored DNA assemblies undergo force‐induced unfolding at cell–cell junctions, enabling selective, localized dual‐drug activation in cancer cells while minimizing off‐target toxicity in low‐tension ...

Sensing and Filtering Environmental Fluctuations: The Case of Biomolecular Condensates in Plants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The diversity of plant condensates reflects constraints of sessile organisms to coordinate postembryonic development with environmental adaptation. This review examines how plants employ condensates to integrate temperature, light, redox, and nutrient signals.

Organoid Brain‐Machine‐Interface Devices for Central Nervous System Repair
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We envision organoid brain‐machine‐interface (Organoid‐BMI) devices as new biohybrid bidirectional communication pathways to connect the human CNS and the external world for personalized CNS repair and regeneration. ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) repair and regeneration suffer from tremendous clinical challenges due to current limitations in ...
