Visualizing and Quantifying Impact with Mechanochromic Sensing Paints Based on Self‐Assembled Polydiacetylene‐Silk Core‐Shell Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tracking physical impacts is important in many fields. Self‐assembled microparticles made from polydiacetylene and silk fibroin that change color from blue to red when hit can provide an alternative approach to traditional mechanical transducers, quantitatively visualizing impact with responses ranging from <100 to 770 N.

Environmental pH and peptide signaling control virulence of Streptococcus pyogenes via a quorum-sensing pathway

Nature Communications, 2019
Bacteria control gene expression in concert with their population density by a process called quorum sensing, which is modulated by bacterial chemical signals and environmental factors. In the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, production of secreted

NIR Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Antibacterial Hydrogels for Synergistic MRSA Biofilm Eradication and Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanohybrid hydrogel (Fe‐BOS@C/H Gel) is composed of Fe‐Bi2O2‐XS (Fe‐BOS) photocatalysts and CS‐ADH/OHA (C/H) hydrogel. Fe‐BOS photocatalysts achieve near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven antibacterial photocatalytic/mild photothermal therapy (APCT/MPTT), effectively eliminating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The degradation

Identification of a Force‐Induced Sox9+Acan+ Transitional Subpopulation Linked to FGF2–FGFR2–ERK Signaling in Orthodontic Bone Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical loading induces a previously unrecognized Sox9+Acan+ transitional mesenchymal cell population in the periodontal ligament that promotes osteoclastogenesis via the FGF2–FGFR2–ERK axis. Targeting this mechanoresponsive stromal population using a localized GelMA@siRNA delivery strategy attenuates pathological osteoclast overactivation and root ...

Understanding the Roles of Microstructure and Viscoelasticity of Soft Ionic Elastomer for Super‐Capacitive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By engineering the PVA/H3PO4 ionic elastomer with optimized viscoelasticity and a height‐graded microstructure, the pressure sensor achieves a broad linear range up to 2000 kPa and a high sensitivity of 2.70 nF/kPa. These advancements underscore its strong potential for wearable electronics, including bio‐signal detection, health monitoring, and ...

Asymmetric Cu─N─Ru Bridgedsite Nanozyme‐Loaded Injectable Thermogel Boosts Cuproptosis‐Like Death for Multidrug‐Resistant Urinary Tract Infections

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
To address multidrug‐resistant urinary tract infections (MDR‐UTIs), we developed Cu‐ZIF8‐Ru nanozyme featuring an asymmetric Cu─N─Ru catalytic site. This unique structure enhances multienzyme‐mimetic activity, eradicating resistant bacteria by inducing a cuproptosis‐like death pathway through intracellular Cu2+ accumulation and energy depletion.

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...
