Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Effects of Microbubble Size on Ultrasound-Induced Transdermal Delivery of High-Molecular-Weight Drugs.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The transdermal delivery of a wide range of high-molecular-weight drugs is limited by the stratum corneum layer of the epidermis representing a significant barrier to penetration across the skin.

GaSex Nanoparticles Modulate Neutrophil Function and Mitigate NET‐Driven Osteogenic Impairment in Osteomyelitis Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) emerge as a critical repair‐limiting factor in osteomyelitis, driving osteoblast mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy. Gallium–selenium nanoparticles (GaSex) scavenge reactive oxygen species, redirect neutrophils from NETosis toward bactericidal phagocytosis, eliminate methicillin‐

Graphene Layers as Functional Biomaterials. From Fabrication and Characterization to Biological Applications

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Graphene layers are fabricated on Cu foil and transferred onto glass substrates to form double‐ and multi‐layer G‐glass. Raman spectroscopy confirms structural integrity, while SEM and fluorescence microscopy reveal favorable adhesion and spreading of L‐929 fibroblast cells.

Study on the dynamics of a single cavitation bubble in a compressible spherical liquid confined by an elastic solid

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry
Cavitation bubbles within elastic solids are widespread phenomena in both natural environments and technological systems, yet their confinement-dependent dynamics remain not well understood. To systematically study the bubble behavior in these phenomena,

Reducing Interfacial Separation Force in High‐Speed Constrained‐Surface Projection Stereolithography Using a Dual‐Modulus Silicone Release Film

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A dual‐modulus silicone release film creates distributed stress concentrations at high‐/low‐modulus boundaries, triggering multi‐site crack initiation and rapid interfacial detachment. The architecture lowers the peak separation force by 97.6%, shortens detachment time, and enables stable continuous projection stereolithography at 720 mm h−1, offering ...

A Critical Review on the Evolution of Chitosan‐Based Injectable Hydrogels in Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The graphical illustration depicts hydrogel formulation using chitosan and biocompatible cross‐linkers, major advantages, and incorporation of cells, osteoinductive factors, and therapeutic drugs. Following injection, pH‐responsive gelation enables controlled drug release, promotes cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation, enhances extracellular

Leveraging Mechanical Resonances for the Selection of Promising Materials in Complex Phase Spaces

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A central challenge in materials science is the design of new functional materials with enhanced performance for targeted applications. This paper demonstrates that “listening” to materials through measuring their mechanical resonances is a rich, and largely untapped, platform for the rapid identification of promising novel compounds and a powerful ...
