4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Pick‐and‐Place Grippers with Tunable Adhesion from Capped Soft Hollow Pillar Structure
Mushroom‐shaped soft hollow pillars (SHPs) with a mushroom cap, or capped SHPs (C‐SHPs) are introduced for improved tunable adhesion under pneumatic actuation. The mushroom cap optimizes stress distribution and alters crack initiation on the contact interface, leading to significantly improved adhesion strength and tunability.
