Although leaked pancreatic fluid (PF) is generally regarded as a postoperative complication, its abundance of digestive enzymes also suggests an underexplored therapeutic opportunity. Here, we developed a localized therapeutic strategy that converts the enzyme-rich fistula microenvironment from a pathological burden into an antitumor resource. To achieve this, we nano-engineered Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B.t.) and integrated it with TRPV1 antagonist-loaded nanomicelles in a GelMA hydrogel, generating the platform TNPs-N@B.t. + Gel. Mechanistically, this system acts in a coordinated manner within the postoperative PDAC microenvironment. B.t. degrades tumor-associated mucins, thereby dismantling the protective barrier that shields PDAC cells from pancreatic enzymes and restoring their vulnerability to enzymatic attack. Meanwhile, PF forms an in situ digestive enzyme corona on the nanoengineered bacterial surface, which promotes deeper tumor penetration by disrupting intercellular adhesion. In parallel, delivery of the TRPV1 antagonist (TRPV1a) suppresses CGRP release, attenuates cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) activation, and facilitates NK-cell-associated antitumor responses. In postoperative PDAC models, TNPs-N@B.t. + Gel showed durable local retention, enhanced tumor accumulation, suppressed recurrence, prolonged survival, and alleviated pain-related behaviors without evident systemic toxicity.</p>","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":" ","pages":"e75411"},"PeriodicalIF":29.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149190377","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 continuous fabrication strategy that integrates coaxial wet spinning with in situ ultraviolet curing is developed to produce polyacrylate-based DEFAs (PA-DEFAs) from a bimodal-networked polyacrylate dielectric elastomer at rates up to 22.5 mm s<sup>-1</sup>.

Porous materials are at the center of this quest, necessitating facile approaches for their synthesis, as well as for both pristine and post-synthetically modified sorbents. This is crucial to reduce chemical waste and hazards involved in the process. Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) is currently being explored as a reagent for the design and fabrication of porous polymer networks (PPNs), with several successful reports so far in the literature. This perspective highlights the overall properties and benefits of MSA for the design of PPNs. A better understanding of MSA's capabilities will open new frontiers and help overcome the limitations of difficult-to-scale PPNs. This is because although these PPNs are robust, they still suffer major techno-economic setbacks that hinder their integration into industrial processes. In addition to the cost of starting materials, which pose a challenge to commercialization, the synthetic approach also contributes significantly. As MSA can play the role of both a solvent and an acid catalyst in a reaction, it is a promising dual-role reagent for the design of PPNs.</p>","PeriodicalId":114,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials","volume":" ","pages":"e75348"},"PeriodicalIF":29.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149190262","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}

To address these persistent challenges, dynamic interfacial self-healing has emerged as a compelling strategy for developing highly durable and stable solid-state batteries. In this review, we first discuss the origins and evolution of mechanical, chemical, and electrochemical failures at the interface, highlighting their intricate interplay. Recent progress in self-healing strategies, including physical flow, chemical restoration, external stimuli, and electric fields was subsequently analyzed to solve specific interfacial failure behavior.
