Sea Cucumber‐Inspired Double‐Network Biopolymer Hydrogels for Programmable Soft Machines
Inspired by the mutable dermis of sea cucumbers, the collagen‐alginate double‐network elastomeric (CoDE) hydrogel achieves programmable, recoverable, and functional mechanical behavior. The CoDE hydrogel mimics the mutable stiffness of the sea cucumber dermis through a densified collagen cryogel scaffold that is secondarily reinforced by a dissipative,

Hydrogel Phase Transition‐Driven Soft Gating Circumvents Debye Screening for Advanced Biosensing
A 3D soft gate utilizes a macroscopic hydrogel phase transition to effectively circumvent Debye screening in high‐salt environments. The intact matrix maximizes transmembrane ion flux via volumetric Donnan enrichment and superhydrophilicity. Target‐triggered network disassembly abolishes these effects, introducing a synergistic physical barrier.

Receptor‐triggered supramolecular self‐assembly converts monovalent antibody‐recruiting molecules into multivalent platforms directly on cancer cell membranes. The resulting fibrillar assemblies present clustered haptens that efficiently recruit endogenous antibodies, enabling selective complement‐mediated immune killing of EGFR‐positive cancer cells ...
