However, their functional structures such as circuits tend to tear-off, break, or crack under mechanical or thermal influence when in service, thus limiting the application reliability of conformal electronics. Herein, inspired by the tree root system, template-confined additive (TCA) printing technology was presented for reliable fabrication of robust circuits. TCA printing technology involves the penetration of adhesive into the functional material, thereby enhancing the mechanical robustness of the circuits, allowing them to maintain their electrical performance despite the presence of external damaging factors such as scratching, abrasion, folding, and high temperatures. For example, herein, the circuits could withstand mechanical abrasion at temperatures as high as 350 °C without compromising electrical properties. Benefiting from the confines of template, the printed circuits achieved resolutions of up to 300 nm, suitable for various materials such as P(VDF-TrFE), MWCNTs, and AgNPs, which enabled the multi-material self-aligned fabrication.

The standard treatment involves the implantation of a shunt to divert excess CSF into the peritoneal cavity, but these shunts exhibit high failure rates over time. In pursuit of improved reliability and performance, this study proposes a miniaturized valve designed to mimic the natural one-way valve function of the arachnoid granulations and thereby replace the shunts. A benchtop testing setup was employed to characterize the behavior of the fabricated valve. Additionally, an animal study was conducted to assess the valve's in vivo performance. This involved the injection of saline into the lateral ventricle to elevate intracranial pressure (ICP), followed by the drainage of the saline through the valve inserted into the cisterna magna (CM) to reduce pressure. Our prototype features a silicone duckbill valve design combined with a silicone tube as an inlet. Through benchtop testing, the valve exhibited unidirectional flow with negligible reverse leakage, revealing that critical parameters such as the width of the fluid channel (W) and bill length (L) could be controlled to optimize valve performance. Notably, the valve configuration with W= 0.8mm and L < 0.5mm achieved the lowest cracking pressure (2.22 ± 0.07 mmHg) and outflow resistance (22.00 ± 0.70 mmHg/mL/min) within the low cracking pressure range of conventional shunts. Our observations of the in vivo test demonstrated that when untreated states, pressure differences from baseline to peak exceeded 20 mmHg due to the absence of drainage, resulting in sustained pressure elevation. Conversely, upon treating states by removing the clamp, pressure differences from baseline to peak remained below 5 mmHg, indicating effective drainage of injected saline through the valve. These promising results highlight the potential of the miniaturized duckbill valve as an alternative for ICP management in hydrocephalus, offering improved control and reliability compared to conventional shunting systems.

The approach uses selective and sensitive germination of Bacillus subtilis spores in response to glucose in potassium-rich bodily fluids such as sweat. As the rate of germination and the number of metabolically active germinating cells are directly proportional to glucose concentration, the electrogenic activity of these cells-manifested as electricity-serves as a self-powered transducing signal for glucose detection. Within a microengineered, paper-based microbial fuel cell (MFC), these electrical power outputs are measurable and can be visually displayed through a compact interface, providing real-time alerts. The dormant spores extend shelf-life, and the self-replicating bacteria ensure robustness. The MFC demonstrated a remarkable sensitivity of 2.246 µW·(log mM)<sup>-1</sup>·cm<sup>-2</sup> to glucose concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 10 mM, with a notably lower limit of detection at ~0.07 mM. The sensor exhibited exceptional selectivity, accurately detecting glucose even in the presence of various interferents. Comparative analyses revealed that, unlike conventional enzymatic biosensors whose performance degrades significantly through time even when inactive, the spore-based MFC is stable for extended periods and promptly regains functionality when needed.

As printing time increases, the extruded bioink spreads and evaporates, leading to technical problems that decrease printing resolution and stability, as well as biological problems that affect 3D culture space and cell viability.

We confirmed that the crosslinking aerosol effectively prevented spreading and evaporation by analyzing the morphological changes of the extruded hydrogel. By adjusting the extruding ratio of the bioinks, we were able to print a multi-composition array.

Microfluidics provides a promising toolkit for creating giant liposomes in a controlled manner. Nevertheless, challenges associated with the microfluidic formation of double emulsions, as precursors to giant liposomes, limit the full exploration of this potential. In this study, we propose a PDMS-glass capillary hybrid device as a facile and versatile tool for the formation of double emulsions which not only eliminates the need for selective surface treatment, a well-known problem with PDMS formation chips, but also provides fabrication simplicity and reusability compared to the glass-capillary formation chips. These advantages make the presented device a versatile tool for forming double emulsions with varying sizes (spanning two orders of magnitude in diameter), shell thickness, number of compartments, and choice of solvents. We achieved robust thin shell double emulsion formation by operating the hybrid chip in double dripping mode without performing hydrophilic/phobic treatment a priori. In addition, as an alternative to the conventional, time-consuming density-based separation method, a tandem separation chip is developed to deliver double emulsions free of any oil droplet contamination in a continuous and rapid manner without any need for operator handling. The applicability of the device was demonstrated by forming giant liposomes using the solvent extraction method. This easy-to-replicate, flexible, and reliable microfluidic platform for the formation and separation of double emulsion templates paves the way for the high-throughput microfluidic generation of giant liposomes and synthetic cells, opening exciting avenues for biomimetic research.

The modification of antibodies on an insertable substrate decouples the functionalization step from the sensor surface and facilitates the application of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) in conjunction with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) for CA19-9 cancer antigen detection. A corresponding detection theory was established, and the relevant parameters of the theoretical formula were verified using different nanoparticles.
