Nucleation Kinetics Reveals a Distinct Biological Function Space of Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes microfluidics to quantify the nucleation rates of dense liquid phases within dilute solutions and of the reverse process, in which dilute voids nucleate inside condensates. The interfacial tension is identified as the key determinant of both processes.

Bioinspired Microphase‐Engineered Binders for Silicon Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the tough exoskeleton of Phloeodes diabolicus, a bio‐based binder featuring LRA–click chemistry and hierarchical crosslinking forms well‐defined microphase‐separated structures that enable robust silicon anodes. This system promotes the formation of a LiF–rich, ultrathin SEI (∼17 nm) with high modulus and ionic conductivity, ensuring long ...

Piezo1 Channel Mediates Mechanically Programmable Drug Delivery to Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Mechanoadaptation via Myosin Cytoplasmic Redistribution Protects Circulating Tumor Cells From Shear‐induced Death During Hematogenous Dissemination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates how CTCs survive varying shear stress during hematogenous metastasis. We uncover a self‐protection mechanism, by which non‐adherent CTCs adapt to high shearing milieu through accumulated cytoplasmic myosin‐mediated disruption of myosin‐actin binding, attenuating force transmission into chromatin to protect CTCs from shear ...
