A U‐shaped Microfluidic Platform for Culturing Vascularized Colorectal Cancer Spheroids Reveals Tumor–Endothelial Crosstalk and Invasion‐Associated Remodeling

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A closed U‐shaped microfluidic platform symmetrically embeds a single, size‐controlled HT29 colorectal cancer spheroid within a GFP‐HUVEC‐laden fibrin matrix. HT29 spheroids are associated with hyper‐branched endothelial network remodeling, while vascularized co‐culture is accompanied by anisotropic protrusive growth and EMT‐like marker changes in the ...

Methanol‐Regulated Interfacial Polymerization of Fluorinated Polyamide Membranes Enables Rapid Liquid Hydrocarbon Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through methanol‐regulated interfacial polymerization (IP), bulky trifluoromethyl (‐CF3) groups are successfully integrated into polyamide networks. Unlike conventional membranes that suffer from severe solvent‐induced swelling, the fluorinated network sterically resists structural expansion.
