Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

Morphology, Transport, and Dynamics of Protein Adsorption in Open‐Cell Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Stainless steel (SS) open‐cell foams are shown to adsorb more protein per unit area than previously reported 316L SS and chromium oxide surfaces under static and flow conditions. An integrated approach combining 3D pore imaging, flow simulation, and protein adsorption experiments characterizes the foam’s performance.

Measuring Blood Plasma Glutamine Levels Using a Nanopore‐Based Sensor
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Glutamine (GLN) is a biomarker useful for predicting toxic ammonia accumulation. Here, we used a biosensor based on the Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore coupled with the GLN‐specific protein substrate‐binding domain 2 (SBD2) to demonstrate real‐time measurement of GLN in blood plasma, highlighting the potential for future point‐of‐care applications ...
