Self-assembling peptide hydrogels: design, mechanisms, characterization, and biomedical applications.

Soft matter
Self-assembled peptide hydrogels have emerged as a research frontier in biomedical engineering due to their exceptional water-retention capacity and spatiotemporal drug release kinetics. Researchers can fabricate biomaterials with customizable struct...

Magnetic-Driven Hydrogel Robots Loaded with Mitomycin for Active Therapy of Bladder Cancer.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Intravesical drug instillation is a common treatment for bladder cancer, but it suffers from poor targeting and suboptimal patient experience due to the influence of gravity. Here, we innovatively designed a bladder cancer treatment method using sodi...

Multimodal information structuring with single-layer soft skins and high-density electrical impedance tomography.

Science robotics
The human skin can reliably capture a wide range of multimodal data over a large surface while providing a soft interface. Artificial technologies using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can emulate these biological functions but present numerous...

In situ foliar augmentation of multiple species for optical phenotyping and bioengineering using soft robotics.

Science robotics
Precision agriculture aims to increase crop yield while reducing the use of harmful chemicals, such as pesticides and excess fertilizer, using minimal, tailored interventions. However, these strategies are limited by factors such as sensor quality, w...

Tyramide signal amplification for a highly sensitive multiplex immunoassay based on encoded hydrogel microparticles.

The Analyst
Proteins play a crucial role as mediators of immune regulation, homeostasis, and metabolism, making their quantification essential for understanding disease mechanisms in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. However, conventional methods whe...

Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue.

Nature
The information-processing capability of the brain's cellular network depends on the physical wiring pattern between neurons and their molecular and functional characteristics. Mapping neurons and resolving their individual synaptic connections can b...
