Magnetically Guided Mechanoactive Mineralization Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D‐printed ‘rebar‐concrete’ inspired scaffold (PGS‐P@MGel) synergizes spontaneous biomineralization with magneto‐mechanical stimulation through PDA@Fe3O4‐embedded hydrogel. This dual biointerface activates Piezo1/β‐catenin/YAP mechanotransduction axis, enhancing BMSCs osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously.

Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.
