Adoptive cell transfers have emerged as a disruptive approach to treat disease in manner that is more specific than using small-molecule drugs; however, unlike traditional drugs, cells are living entities can alter their function response environmental cues. In the present study, we report an engineered particle referred "backpack" robustly adhere macrophage surfaces and regulate cellular phenotypes vivo. Backpacks evade phagocytosis for several days release cytokines continuously guide...
Abstract Herein, elastomeric fibers that have shape memory properties due to the presence of a gallium core can undergo phase transition from solid liquid in response mild heating are described. The is injected into hollow fiber formed by melt processing. This approach provides straightforward method create any elastic fiber. Solidifying changes effective modulus 4 1253 MPa. increase stiffness preserve deformed shape. energy stored polymer shell during deformation drives relax back its...
Semicrystalline polymeric materials possessing extraordinary mechanical properties were rapidly fabricated using light from low viscosity liquids at room temperature.
The inherent compliance of soft robots often makes it difficult for them to exert forces on surrounding surfaces or withstand mechanical loading. Controlled stiffness is a solution empower with the ability apply large their environments and sustain external loads without deformations. Herein, compact, actuator composed shared electrode used both electrostatic actuation variable described. device operates as dielectric elastomer actuator, while provided by made gallium. fabricated namely...
Phosphorescence is commonly used in nature to communicate using light. There are many ways activate phosphorescence, including UV light, heat, and mechanical forces, but there few methods control phosphorescence once activated. Here, we present soft composite devices—which call "optical filters"—for controlling the release of light by within a stretchable matrix. The filters consist liquid metal wires, phosphorescent particles, thermochromic pigments embedded an elastomeric initially...
Abstract Cervical damage is the most prevalent type of spinal cord injury clinically, although few preclinical research studies focus on this anatomical region injury. Here we present a combinatorial therapy composed custom-engineered, injectable hydrogel and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived deep cortical neurons. The biomimetic has modular design that includes protein-engineered component to allow customization cell-adhesive peptide sequence synthetic polymer gel...
Pressure‐sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are polymeric films that can be adhered to and detached from surfaces without leaving residue. Researchers looking enhance the bond strength between PSAs different substrates. It achieved by tuning PSA's peeling, shear, tack properties for every specific case. ‘Very High Bond’ (VHB) is a widely used PSA because of its high compliance suitable stretchable soft‐matter devices. In this study, simple fast surface treatment approach modify adhesion VHB CO 2...
