Protease‐Activated Theranostic Nanomedicine for Endometriosis Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects a substantial proportion of reproductive‐aged women. In this study, we identify aberrant overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in endometriotic lesions and develop a novel multifunctional nanomedicine that integrates MMP‐9‐targeted therapy, ratiometric photoacoustic (PA ...

Application of discrete time sliding mode control to a spacecraft in 6DoF

open access: yes
This paper presents the application of two separate discrete time sliding mode controllers, developed in conjunction with a potential function guidance method, to provide control in both position and attitude for a rigid, holonomic spacecraft body.

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Biodegradable Conductors for Implantable and Wearable Transient Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biodegradable conductors are essential building blocks for transient bioelectronics, enabling temporary sensing, stimulation, and energy transfer while eliminating the need for device retrieval. This review summarizes biodegradable metals, conducting polymers, ionic conductors, and conductive composites, highlighting degradation mechanisms, material ...

High‐Modulus Skeleton‐Reinforced PDMS Microstamps for Precision Transfer Printing of Microscale Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Elastomeric micropillars bend under contact loading, sliding microscale devices out of alignment during transfer printing. A hybrid PDMS stamp embeds a high‐modulus skeleton within each pillar while retaining a compliant contact surface. The reinforcement confines pillar deformation, suppressing interfacial sliding and preserving array registration on ...
