An autonomously swimming biohybrid fish designed with human cardiac biophysics

Keel Yong Lee et al.

Summary: Researchers explore the applicability of the functional regulatory features of the heart in a synthetic fish system, successfully recreating muscle contraction and relaxation by leveraging cardiac mechanoelectrical signaling and automaticity. They also engineer an electrically autonomous pacing node to control the actuation cycle, achieving self-sustained swimming in the synthetic fish.

Mirroring Action Potentials: Label-Free, Accurate, and Noninvasive Electrophysiological Recordings of Human-Derived Cardiomyocytes

Andrea Barbaglia et al.

Summary: The article introduces a new noninvasive method to record action potentials in human cells by utilizing the concept of mirror charges, which converts cell ionic currents into mirror charges in a microfluidic chamber to create a virtual mirror cell with high spatial resolution and parallelization. Through a series of experiments, it is shown that this method is an ideal choice for assessing cardiotoxicity in human-derived cardiomyocytes.

Bioinspired Shape Memory Hydrogel Artificial Muscles Driven by Solvents

Yande Cui et al.

Summary: This study presents a simple and effective strategy for designing and fabricating tendril-inspired hydrogel artificial muscles with high actuation rate, large actuation strain, and shape memory property in response to solvents. The actuation performances of hydrogel muscles are influenced by factors such as chirality, twist density, applied stress, and temporary shape, and a homochiral hydrogel muscle shows comparable contractile work capacity with natural muscles, demonstrating great potential for biomedical applications.

Shear-aligned tunicate-cellulose-nanocrystal-reinforced hydrogels with mechano-thermo-chromic properties

Junmei Wang et al.

Summary: This study fabricates mechano-thermo-chromic hydrogels with uniform interference colors by shearing tunicate cellulose nanocrystals and locking them into poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) networks. The oriented TCNC/PNIPAM hydrogels not only enhance mechanical properties but also show reversible responsiveness to tensile force, compression, and temperature. This work offers a new strategy for designing sustainable and stretchable optical devices with applications in sensors, environmental monitoring, and anti-counterfeiting labels.
