Articular cartilage defects can lead to pain and even disability in patients and have significant socioeconomic loss. Repairing articular cartilage defects remains a long-term challenge in medicine owing to the limited ability of cartilage to regenerate. At present, the treatment methods adopted in clinical practice have many limitations, thereby necessitating the rapid development of biomaterials. Among them, decellularized biomaterials have been particularly prominent, with numerous breakthroughs in research progress and translational applications. Although many studies show that decellularized cartilage biomaterials promote tissue regeneration, any differences in cellular morphology, dynamics, and functionality among various biomaterials upon comparison have not been reported. In this study, we prepared cartilage-derived extracellular matrix (cdECM) biomaterials with different bioactive contents and various physical properties to compare their effects on the morphology, dynamics and functionality of chondrocytes. This cellular multimodal analysis of the characteristics of cdECM biomaterials provided a theoretical basis for understanding the interactions between biomaterials and cells, thus laying an experimental foundation for the translation and application of decellularized cartilage biomaterials in the treatment of cartilage defects.

To reliably operate anode-less solid-state Li metal batteries, wherein precipitated Li acts as the anode, stabilizing the interface between the solid electrolyte and electrode is crucial. The interface can be controlled by a metal interlayer on the electrolyte to form a Li alloy buffer that facilitates stable Li plating/stripping, thereby mitigating the loss of physical contact and preventing short circuits. However, the mechanism governing stable Li plating/stripping in the metal interlayer without degrading battery materials remains unclear owing to an incomplete understanding of the dynamic and complex electrochemical reactions in the solid state.

Neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus discharge synchronously in brain state-dependent manner to transfer information. Published studies have highlighted the temporal coordination of neuronal activities between the hippocampus and a neocortical area, however, how the spatial extent of neocortical activity relates to hippocampal activity remains partially unknown. We imaged mesoscopic neocortical activity while recording hippocampal local field potentials in anesthetized and unanesthetized GCaMP-expressing transgenic mice.

This study presents T-1-NBAB, a new compound derived from the natural xanthine alkaloid theobromine, aimed at inhibiting VEGFR-2, a crucial protein in angiogenesis. T-1-NBAB's potential to interacts with and inhibit the VEGFR-2 was indicated using in silico techniques like molecular docking, MD simulations, MM-GBSA, PLIP, essential dynamics, and bi-dimensional projection experiments. DFT experiments was utilized also to study the structural and electrostatic properties of T-1-NBAB.

A number of studies demonstrate the therapeutic effectiveness of Radix Bupleuri (RB) and Hedysarum Multijugum Maxim (HMM) in treating liver fibrosis, but the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the mechanism of RB-HMM drug pairs in treating liver fibrosis by using network pharmacology, bioinformatics, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation technology and in vitro experiments. Totally, 155 intersection targets between RB-HMM and liver fibrosis were identified.

Flexible pressure sensors are pivotal in advancing artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and wearable technologies. While microstructuring the functional layer of these sensors effectively enhances their performance, current fabrication methods often require complex equipment and time-consuming processes. Herein, we present a novel magnetization-induced self-assembly method to develop a magnetically grown microneedle array as a dielectric layer for flexible capacitive pressure sensors.
