Transient Cytoskeletal Anisotropy Encodes Short‐Term Mechanical Memory in Glioblastoma Cells
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The same mechanical deformation can produce distinct cytoskeletal states depending on loading history. Experiments and constitutive modeling reveal that transient actin–vimentin anisotropy stores mechanical information and governs short‐term mechanical memory in glioblastoma cells.

Polypyrrole Soft Actuators [PDF]
, 2011 Organic soft actuators attract strong attentions because they have many advantages compared to conventional mechanical actuators. Organic soft actuators are generally light and flexibly deformed. In addition, they operate under low voltage ranges as low as 1 volt or so, and generate no sound during deformation.

Alginate Sphere-Based Soft Actuators
GelsAlginate hydrogels offer distinct advantages as ionically crosslinked, biocompatible networks that can be shaped into spherical beads with high compositional flexibility. These spherical architectures provide isotropic geometry, modularity and the capacity for encapsulation, making them ideal platforms for scalable, stimuli-responsive actuation.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated NPC remodeling creates a high‐flux, low‐stringency nuclear state that supports malignant adaptation but increases mechanical fragility. Targeting the FG‐barrier or NPC scaffold may drive mechanostat failure, envelope rupture, DNA damage, and loss of nuclear integrity.
