DSM: A Deep Supervised Multi-Scale Network Learning for Skin Cancer Segmentation

IEEE Access, 2019
The automatic segmentation of the skin lesion on dermoscopy images is an important step for diagnosing the melanoma. However, the skin lesion segmentation is still a challenging task due to the blur lesion border, low contrast between the skin cancer ...

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Self-Supervised Skin Lesion Segmentation: An Annotation-Free Approach

Mathematics, 2023
Skin cancer poses a significant health risk, affecting multiple layers of the skin, including the dermis, epidermis, and hypodermis. Melanoma, a severe type of skin cancer, originates from the abnormal proliferation of melanocytes in the epidermis ...

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
