Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of LNP‐MPG nuclei‐targeting delivery of HMW‐FGF2 promoting histone acetylation to regulate the fate of DPSCs and treat spinal cord injury. LNPs components include pHMW‐FGF2 plasmid, DSPC, Dlin‐MC3‐DMA, cholesterol, and PEG2000, and are modified with MPG to form HMW‐FGF2@LNP‐MPG (HLM). HLM nuclei‐targets DPSCs to deliver HMW‐FGF2,

Genetically Programmed Shape‐Morphing of Engineered Living Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, bacterial and mammalian engineered living materials (ELMs) are presented, in which living cells direct genetically programmed and enzymatically mediated shape‐morphing. The resulting deformation and shape‐recovery can be actuated in a genetically controlled manner by an ELM incorporating out‐of‐equilibrium counteracting biochemical reactions with

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...

Reconstructing the Ecuadorian Short Food Supply Chain consumer profile
Purpose: We consolidate fragmented knowledge on Ecuadorian Alternative Commercialization Circuits (CIALCOs) by profiling their consumers and identifying challenges for expansion. While Ecuadorian CIALCOs have evolved since the 1980s to emphasize producer-consumer relationships and sustainability, research on stakeholder profiles remains scarce. We fill

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...
