However, the lack of advanced delivery systems remains a significant barrier to improve the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of biotherapeutics. The microneedle, as a minimally invasive drug delivery tool, has demonstrated considerable potential in biotherapeutic applications. Despite this promise, challenges remain in fabricating microneedles that effectively preserve the bioactivity of biotherapeutics. Emerging as a novel solution, cryomicroneedles (cryoMNs) employ cryogenically molded ice matrices that exploit phase-transition thermodynamics. The metabolic stasis induced by cryoimmobilization preserves biomolecular conformation and cellular viability. Moreover, the ice-reinforced architectures achieve an optimal balance between mechanical penetration capacity and post-insertion dissolution kinetics, overcoming the rigidity-flexibility trade-off in traditional dissolving microneedles. Current research prioritizes three breakthrough directions: material innovation for cryocompatible polymer-ice interfaces, cold-chain optimization strategies to enhance payload viability, and innovations in medical application scenarios. Notably, preclinical successes in regenerative tissue engineering and thermostable vaccine platforms highlight cryoMNs' potential to bridge precision medicine and global health equity.

Accumulating evidence suggests that astrocytic dysfunction is closely associated with the pathogenesis of various neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, ischemic stroke (IS), epilepsy, and glioma. Lipid droplets (LDs), ubiquitous intracellular lipid storage organelles, exhibit metabolic abnormalities that are commonly observed in these neurological conditions, particularly in astrocytes, where LD metabolic dysregulation may serve as a critical link between glial dysfunction and neuronal damage. However, a systematic understanding of the regulatory mechanisms governing LD metabolism in astrocytes and their relationship to the pathogenesis of neurological diseases remains elusive. This article reviews the biology and pathology of astrocytes and summarizes the characteristics, regulatory factors, and abnormalities of LD metabolism in astrocytes, highlighting its association with neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, epilepsy, and glioma. Finally, we propose future research directions, emphasizing the need for integrative multiomics approaches and innovative regulatory technologies to elucidate the role of astrocytic LD metabolism in neurological disorders.

Traditional methods, such as the Worthington jet or bubble-based cavity, utilize the collapse mechanism to give rise to a high-speed liquid jet. In contrast to known cavity collapse processes, a distinct phenomenon occurring during droplet impact on a superhydrophobic sieve is reported. Herein, the collapse of the impact cavity causes an air jet to rise through the sieve pore to form a \"recoil cavity.\" Subsequently, the recoil cavity collapses to eject a jet (droplets). The notable discovery is the emergence of the recoil cavity as a result of the impact cavity's collapse, which has been absent on any other surfaces. The present research explores the underlying mechanism and develops a model of the phenomenon. It is found that the process follows the principle of energy conservation, with a threshold energy flux ratio between impact and recoil driving the ejection of a single drop.
