MELEGROS: Monolithic Elephant‐Inspired Gripper with Optical Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
MELEGROS is a monolithic, elephant‐inspired soft gripper integrating 3D‐printed optical sensors within a pneumatically actuated lattice. Simulation‐guided design decouples tactile and proprioceptive sensing. Characterized through grasping tests, MELEGROS can reach, scoop, and grasp, showcasing a paradigm where fully embedded sensing and continuous ...

Liver Stiffness Rises Early in MASLD and Drives Inflammation, Lipid Dysmetabolism, and Fibrosis via Piezo1–YAP Mechanotransduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Progressive stiffening of the hepatic extracellular matrix and free fatty acid overload activate the mechanosensor Piezo1 in steatotic hepatocytes, inducing calcium influx and nuclear translocation of Yes‐associated protein. YAP‐dependent nuclear signaling further drives inflammatory and fibrotic gene programs, lipid metabolic reprogramming, and ...

Direct Extracellular Matrix Modulation Attenuates Intestinal Fibrosis via a Fibronectin‐Targeted Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibronectin regulates the extracellular matrix (ECM)–myofibroblast cycle through three key steps: (1) its secretion and assembly by myofibroblasts (inhibited by pUR4); (2) collagen deposition along its scaffold (inhibited by R1R2); and (3) integrin α5β1‐mediated mechanotransduction (inhibited by ATN161).

Ambient Stable Triboelectric Nanogenerator Based on Conductive Filler Modified Silicone Rubber with Gas Barrier Encapsulation for Footstep Energy Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A humidity‐tolerant triboelectric nanogenerator is developed using conductive carbon black‐modified silicone rubber and a flame‐retardant gas barrier layer. The device efficiently harvests footstep energy while maintaining stable output under 30–90% RH and over 1 million cycles.
