Three‐Dimensional Biomimetic Aerogel Conduits with Electro‐Ionic‐Immune Coupling Reverse the Pathological Cascade of Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A biomimetic aerogel conduit was engineered from a nanofiber of gelatin/poly(l‐lactic acid) doped with polypyrrole nanoparticles, integrated with tannic acid and Mg2+. This “electro‐ionic‐immune” strategy mimicked spinal cord properties, reduced calcium overload, inflammation, oxidative damage, promoted neural stem cell differentiation, suppressed ...

3D‐Printable, Biodegradable, and Conductive/Piezoionic Hydrogel ‘E‐Skin’ With Robust Antibacterial Properties for Wound Healing and Wireless Human‐Machine Interface Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional MXene‐integrated GelMA/alginate hydrogel reinforced with TEMPO‐modified nanocellulose is engineered via dynamic covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonding. The resulting piezoelectric, adhesive, antimicrobial, and 3D‐printable patch enables motion sensing and accelerates wound healing by promoting keratinocyte migration and collagen ...

Rare giant perianal smooth muscle tumor: A case report

Journal of International Medical Research
Smooth muscle tumors are benign tumors originating from smooth muscle tissues, mostly occurring in the uterus and digestive tract; however, smooth muscle tumors occurring in the perianal sphincter are very rare.

Tissue‐Adhesive Fabric‐Based Bioelectronics for Wearable and Implantable Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An implantable and wearable bioelectronic textile (iTextile) is introduced as a unified platform bridging wearable and implantable systems. By integrating a self‐healing polymer, stretchable silk fabric, conductive composite electrodes, and an adhesive hydrogel, the platform enables conformal, stable interfacing with soft tissues. The iTextile supports

Senescence as a Driver of Smooth Muscle Cell Plasticity and Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

Cells
Cell senescence is increasingly recognized as a key driver of atherosclerosis progression. Senescent smooth muscle cells (SMCs) lose their proliferative capacity and adopt a pro-inflammatory profile, contributing to impaired vessel repair and weakening ...

Mechanically Mutable Matrices: A Hierarchical Investigation of Decellularized Sea Cucumber Collagen as an Adaptable Scaffold Material

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Tannic Acid‐Modified Cellulose Nanofiber Reinforced Polymerizable Eutectogels for High‐Performance Stretchable Strain Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A polymerizable deep eutectic solvent is reinforced with tannic acid‐modified cellulose nanofibers to construct a hierarchical dynamic eutectogel network. Synergistic covalent and reversible interactions impart ultrahigh stretchability, high ionic conductivity, broad temperature tolerance, self‐healing, and strong adhesion, enabling robust wearable ...

Mimetic Core‐Sheath Silk Sutures with Superior‐Strength for Pain Management, Anti‐Infection and Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sutures are crucial for tissue approximation and wound healing. Besides their strength limits requirement, they often fail to effectively address complications like infection and pain. Inspired by natural silk's “core‐sheath” structure, our suture features a wet‐spun core of n zinc‐fortified silk fibroin fibers (RSF‐Zn2+) after drawing with ...

Three-dimensional-mapping of smooth muscle morphogenesis in the vertebrate gastrointestinal tract

Scientific Reports
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility depends on smooth muscle contractions to propel contents through the digestive tract. GI muscle is organized into two perpendicular layers: the inner circular smooth muscle (CSM) and the outer longitudinal smooth muscle ...
