Although numerous biomaterial‐based strategies have been explored, achieving a stable and functional cartilage interface remains difficult. A critical barrier is the poor integration between grafts and native cartilage, leading to fibrocartilage formation, delamination, and repair failure. Current approaches show limited success due to inadequate wet adhesion, mechanical mismatch, and insufficient chemical bonding. Here, we report a dynamically adaptive wet‐adhesive hydrogel composed of oxidized hyaluronic acid, quaternized chitosan, and silk fibroin (OHA/QCS/SF) for enhanced cartilage interface healing. The precursor exhibited rapid underwater spreading on hydrated substrates and displaced interfacial fluid in a fluid‐covered assay. Fluorescence imaging further revealed wetting and infiltration into the PAAm hydrogel. Dynamic Schiff‐base bonding between aldehyde groups in the hydrogel and amine‐containing components at the cartilage interface further promoted wet adhesion, while the reversible network enabled self‐healing under mechanical disturbance. In a rabbit cartilage defect model, the hydrogel loaded with synovial membrane‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) improved defect filling, host–graft integration, and cartilage‐like regeneration. This study provides a dynamic wet‐adhesive hydrogel strategy for improving biomaterial–cartilage interface healing in fluid‐rich joint environments.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While hydrogel interlayers actively cool through water evaporation, their mechanical reinforcement with conventional fillers dilutes the water‐rich matrix and reduces enthalpy. Here, we propose a paradigm‐shifting strategy by using boric acid (BA) as a thermochemically active cross‐linker in a poly(AMPS) hydrogel. BA reconstructs the hydrogel network through dual N─H⋯O hydrogen bonding and B⋯O═C coordination, simultaneously enhancing compressive strength by 567%. Upon thermal runaway, the composite provides dual‐mode protection: (1) synergistic heat absorption (volumetric enthalpy > 2000 J cm <jats:sup>−</jats:sup> <jats:sup>3</jats:sup> ) via water evaporation and BA stepwise dehydration, accompanied by flame‐inhibiting SO <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> release.

Mn, in contrast, undergoes pH‐ and potential‐dependent reduction and local structural disorder. Notably, the strongest Mn reconstruction (pH 0, 1.65 V) coincides with moderate dissolution, whereas the greatest Ir and Mn loss (pH 0, 1.60 V) occurs where the residual material is less reconstructed.

However, achieving high‐fidelity multi‐modal temperature‐humidity sensing without inter‐channel cross‐talk and computational post‐processing remains a formidable challenge due to overlapping transduction mechanisms. In this study, an unprecedented electron‐ion synergistic functional material, featuring a unique inherent self‐decoupling capability, was developed based on the Janus hierarchical heterostructure. Through interfacial chemical engineering of Pd single‐atom anchoring and heterogeneous‐nucleation‐driven vertical growth of BiOCl on hollow MXene, the constructed material architecture successfully establishes fundamentally segregated electronic and ionic stimulus‐response pathways. Specifically, humidity fluctuations trigger ultra‐fast quasi‐2D proton conduction facilitated by localized potential wells and electronic redistribution generated around atomically dispersed Pd sites, while temperature gradients induce entropy‐driven carrier diffusion within the conductive MXene network. By suppressing signal cross‐talk through rigorous mechanistic orthogonality, the fabricated sensing array exhibits outstanding response characteristics (37.5/50 ms for humidity response/recovery and 25/62.5 ms for high/low‐temperature response), alongside superior oxidation resistance and robust functional durability (enduring 5000 cycles of testing). Ultimately, leveraging this multi‐modal sensing platform and machine learning algorithm, the integrated closed‐loop therapeutic system enables accurate evaluation of wound healing progression as well as on‐demand drug release, pioneering a new paradigm for next‐generation flexible electronics and adaptive healthcare modalities.","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149374585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, a fully defined hIO workflow was developed in which Matrigel was replaced by recombinant human substrates during pluripotent stem cell differentiation and by polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels during 3D culture, while maintaining organoid viability and epithelial cytodifferentiation. Transcriptomic analyses show that both PEG‐ and Matrigel‐cultured hIO epithelial cells are most similar to human duodenal reference populations, and have greater transcriptional similarity to fetal than adult duodenal references. Despite this overall similarity, PEG culture is associated with subtle shifts in epithelial differentiation‐associated gene expression, together with altered mesenchymal ECM‐remodelling and integrin‐associated programs. Increasing matrix stiffness produces modest effects in epithelial cells, including increased MUC2‐positive cells, whereas mesenchymal transcriptional responses to stiffness are limited.
