Multiscale Interfacial Engineering Enables Robust Reconstituted Wood
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Conventional adhesives used in wood composites create heterogeneous interfaces that cause stress concentration under humid or aqueous conditions, thereby compromising long‐term stability. A synergistic strategy integrating interfacial reconstruction and water‐induced regeneration transforms heterogeneous interfaces into homogeneous ones with ...

Single‐Nucleus RNA Sequencing Identifies CREM as a Brake on Myofiber Hypertrophy in Chickens
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing on 91 144 nuclei from postnatal chicken pectoralis major between fast‐growing broilers (FG) and slow‐growing layers (SG) identifies the transcriptional factor CREM as a novel brake of myofiber hypertrophy. Mechanistically, functional validation experiments confirm that CREM activates the promoter of JUN and CREM deletion ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...
