Advanced Science, EarlyView.Given that PEEK chest wall implants induce shear force at the soft tissue‐implant interface due to respiratory motion in the early in vivo post‐implantation stage. We confirmed that this mechanical stimulus triggers the PIEZO1/ITGB1/YAP1 signalling axis in L929 and the STAT6/p‐STAT6 pathway in RAW264.7, which in turn mediates adhesion and migration of ...

Beyond PEG: Emerging Polymer Lipid Alternatives for Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulations
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review discusses recent advances in PEG‐alternative LNP designs, including non‐PEG polymers, zwitterionic lipids, and polypeptides. It evaluates how surface‐engineering chemistry influences LNP formation and biological behavior, and highlights current limitations and opportunities of PEG‐alternative LNPs.
