Dynamic Self‐Clickable Decellularized Matrix Hydrogels for Regulating Vascularity and Enhancing Muscle Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dynamic decellularized hydrogels are prepared using bovine decellularized small intestine submucosa (SIS) norbornene (dSIS‐NB). Bovine dSIS contained significant amounts of disulfide‐rich fibrillin‐I, enabling ‘self‐clickable’ thiol‐norbornene gelation and spatiotemporal tuning of hydrogel physicochemical properties.

Enhancing Li‐S Battery Performance Through Low‐Concentration Electrolytes with Organic Se/Te Co‐Additives to Address Solubility and Kinetic Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a low‐concentration electrolyte enabled by hybrid organic Se/Te additives (DPDSe/DPDTe) that restructures solvation, boosts polysulfide dissolution, and provides dual‐site synergistic catalysis, delivering high capacity and stable cycling in Li–S coin and pouch cells, supporting high‐energy, high‐power operation.

Synthesis of Novel Stable ZnSe Magic‐Sized Clusters and Their Direct Transformation to Quantum Dots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We have developed a low‐temperature synthetic approach that enables the fabrication of novel ZnSe MSCs with remarkable thermal stability. These stabilized MSCs serve as efficient precursors that can be readily converted to ZnSe QDs under mild conditions through simple introduction of a selenium source.

Magnetic field-assisted blanching enhances sulforaphane synthesis in broccoli florets, revealed by UPLC-ESI-QTRAP-MS/MS

Food Chemistry: X
Sulforaphane (SF) is generated from glucoraphanin hydrolysis catalyzed by endogenous myrosinase in Brassicaceae vegetables such as broccoli, with blanching critical to maximize SF formation.
