We report an in situ catalyst-free strategy to synthesize inorganic CsPbBr3 perovskite nanorods in a polymer matrix (NRs-PM) with good dimensional control, outstanding optical properties and ultrahigh environmental stability. Polarization photoluminescence (PL) imaging with high spatial resolution was carried out for the first time on single nanorod (NR) and shows a relatively high local polarization ratio (∼0.4) consistent with theoretical predictions based on a dielectric contrast model. We further demonstrate that macroscale alignment of the CsPbBr3 nanorods can be achieved through mechanically stretching the NRs-PM films at elevated temperature, without deteriorating the optical quality of the NRs. A polarization ratio of 0.23 is observed for these aligned NRs-PM films, suggesting their potential as polarized down-converters to increase the light efficiency in liquid crystal display (LCD) backlights.

Replicating the contractile function of arterial tissues in vitro requires precise control of cell alignment within 3D structures, a challenge that existing bioprinting techniques struggle to meet. In this study, we introduce the voxel-based embedded construction for tailored orientational replication (VECTOR) method, a voxel-based approach that controls cellular orientation and collective behavior within bioprinted filaments. By fine-tuning voxel vector magnitude and using an omnidirectional printing trajectory, we achieve structural mimicry at both the macroscale and the cellular alignment level.

For cultured meat to effectively replace traditional meat, it is essential to develop scaffolds that replicate key attributes of real meat, such as taste, nutrition, flavor, and texture. However, one of the significant challenges in replicating meat characteristics with scaffolds lies in the considerable gap between the stiffness preferred by cells and the textural properties desired by humans. To address this issue, we focused on the microscale environment conducive to cell growth and the macro-scale properties favored by humans.

Tissue-engineered anisotropic cell constructs are promising candidates for treating volumetric muscle loss (VML). However, achieving successful cell alignment within macroscale 3D cell constructs for skeletal muscle tissue regeneration remains challenging, owing to difficulties in controlling cell arrangement within a low-viscosity hydrogel. Herein, we propose the concept of a magnetorheological bioink to manipulate the cellular arrangement within a low-viscosity hydrogel.

Cell membranes in bacteria are laterally polarized to produce specific environments for membrane proteins, e.g., proteins involved in cell division which accumulate at mid-cell or the cell poles.

Complex macro-scale patterns of brain activity that emerge during periods of wakeful rest provide insight into the organisation of neural function, how these differentiate individuals based on their traits, and the neural basis of different types of self-generated thoughts. Although brain activity during wakeful rest is valuable for understanding important features of human cognition, its unconstrained nature makes it difficult to disentangle neural features related to personality traits from those related to the thoughts occurring at rest. Our study builds on recent perspectives from work on ongoing conscious thought that highlight the interactions between three brain networks - ventral and dorsal attention networks, as well as the default mode network.
