Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study explored how innovative “auxetic” scaffolds, which expand when stretched, influence skeletal muscle development. Researchers cultured muscle cells on different scaffold designs and applied repeated stretching over 10 days. They found that scaffold geometry affected muscle cell differentiation and fiber formation.

Protease‐Activated Theranostic Nanomedicine for Endometriosis Treatment
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder that affects a substantial proportion of reproductive‐aged women. In this study, we identify aberrant overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) in endometriotic lesions and develop a novel multifunctional nanomedicine that integrates MMP‐9‐targeted therapy, ratiometric photoacoustic (PA ...

Material Coupling in Hybrid Neuromorphic Devices: From Fundamentals to System‐Level Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Hybrid neuromorphic devices utilize heterointerfaces between emerging semiconductors, where charge transfer and trapping, ion or defect modulation, and photogating are translated into synaptic functions. This paper discusses coupling strategies that tailor interfacial electronic and ionic properties in organic semiconductors, metal oxides, two ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...
