A Conformal Wearable Ultrasound Bioelectronics for Mechanotherapy Reprogramming of Fibroblast Plasticity via Wnt‐FGF10 Axis to Overcome Fibrotic Healing in Urethral Regeneration

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
Fibrotic scarring persistently challenges urethral reconstruction. This study introduces a conformal, wearable ultrasound bioelectronic system that overcomes this by reprogramming fibroblast fate. The device activates a developmental Wnt–FGF10 axis, driving fibroblasts toward a regenerative FGF10+ phenotype that promotes angiogenesis and matrix ...
