Wafer‐Scale Direct Growth of Ultraclean Monolayer Amorphous Carbon on c‐Sapphire by Remote Catalytic Dehydrogenation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Remote catalytic dehydrogenation enables the direct growth of monolayer amorphous carbon on a 2‐inch sapphire wafer by thermal CVD. Spatial separation of the catalyst from the growth substrate eliminates metallic residue and post‐growth processing, yielding a wafer‐scale uniform film with a random polygonal sp2‐hybridized carbon network that exhibits ...

Comparative evaluation of Stone Cone and NTrap for prevention of stone retropulsion during ureteroscopic lithotripsy for upper and mid-ureteric calculi

African Journal of Urology
Background Stone retropulsion during ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) adversely affects stone-free rates and may increase the need for auxiliary procedures, particularly in upper and mid-ureteric calculi.

Programmable Microgel Degradation in Dynamic Granular Hydrogels Guides Extracellular Matrix Assembly During Tissue Repair

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports on the chemical modification of hyaluronic acid to create hydrogels with hydrolytic degradability ranging from 2–28 days. Granular hydrogels that undergo timed degradation to increase porosity enhance cell invasion and provisional ECM remodeling in a muscle injury model, leading to reduced fibrosis and improved regeneration ...

Reduced Graphene Oxide Enhances the Vascular Organization and Contractile Performance of Fibrin‐Gelatin‐Based Engineered Cardiac Tissue

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Fibrin–gelatin hydrogels functionalized with reduced graphene oxide create a mechanically stable and bioactive 3D environment for engineered cardiac tissue. The composite matrix promotes endothelial lumen formation, enhances sarcomeric protein expression, and increases contractile performance of embedded cardiomyocytes.

Microfluidic Droplet Plate Preserving Single Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Cardiomyocytes Morphology and Function

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce a novel method combining microfluidics, optogenetics, and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to encapsulate single iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC‐CMs) in an optimal environment for functional characterization. This method enables direct genotype‐phenotype correlation for genetic studies and high‐throughput screening ...

Self‐Sealing Microneedles Improve Precision and Reduce Reflux in Subretinal Cell Transplantation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Ultrafine 49G microneedles enable subretinal delivery of induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived retinal pigment epithelial cells through a 50 µm outer diameter tip. Compared with conventional 38G microcannulas, these microneedles reduce cell suspension reflux in a rabbit model, highlighting the potential of microinvasive delivery instruments to improve ...
