Strengthening Constitutive Motifs in Isotropic Fibrous Hydrogel for Exceptional Damage Resistance
An orientation‐free strategy is reported for fabricating damage‐resistant hydrogels by strengthening constitutive motifs in isotropic fibrous (IF) networks. Through nonsolvent quenching followed by salting‐out, IF networks are generated and their multiscale constituents are subsequently reinforced, yielding dense and crystalline isotropic nanofiber ...

Nascent Extracellular Matrix Converts Biomaterial Cues into Cell Fate Decisions
This study uncovers a tri‐directional interplay among cells, hydrogels, and their nascent extracellular matrix. Hydrogel norbornene modification alters CD44‐mediated cell–hydrogel interactions, which shape nascent matrix deposition, composition, and spatial organization.

Acute knee pain is a frequently encountered problem in the clinical settings. In 2003, American Orthopedic Association recorded that 19.4 million people visited a physician because of a knee problem. Knee pain due to injuries is increasing even among the older population, as a greater number of persons are participating in recreational activities.

Haglund's Deformity as a Cause of Achilles Tendon Sleeve Avulsion: A Case Report
Background: The incidence of complete achilles tendon rupture is 18 per 100.000 patient-years and is usually presents to GP. Haglund’s deformity is believed to be a factor in achilles tendon rupture.

We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement
