We developed a catalytically triggered piezoelectric injectable hydrogel loaded with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for synergistic IDD regeneration. This system uses a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and diacrylate-functionalized Pluronic F-127 (PF127-DA) composite that rapidly crosslinks via a Fenton-like redox reaction between ferrous gluconate and ammonium persulfate, eliminating the need for external triggers. The hydrogel contains poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) piezoelectric fibers and BMSCs. Under ultrasound stimulation, PLLA fibers generate piezoelectric microcurrents that stimulate BMSCs, significantly increasing transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) secretion. This promotes BMSCs differentiation into nucleus pulposus-like cells and recruits endogenous nucleus pulposus cells, enhancing matrix synthesis.

Pectinase could catalyze the degradation of cell wall pectin, accelerate tissue softening, and increase spoilage. This study innovatively developed a pectin-gated system for food quality preservation. The system comprises a coaxially electrospun nanofiber pad in which carbon dots (Cu–pCDs) are embedded as emulsion stabilizers, with carvacrol (CAR) encapsulated in the core. To enhance mechanical strength and moisture retention, a polycaprolactone coating was subsequently applied onto the pad surface. Under normal storage conditions, the pad exhibited a moderate baseline release of CAR, providing initial preservation by Cu–pCDs. The presence of pectinase enhanced the release by degrading pectin-rich layers and partially disrupting the core–shell architecture, enabling enzyme-responsive release. Comprehensive characterization confirmed suitable mechanical performance (Tensile strength = 4.40 MPa; Elongation at break = 40.11%) and optimized water vapor barrier properties (Water vapor permeability = 9.10 × 10⁻⁷·m⁻¹·g⁻¹·h⁻¹·Pa⁻¹). Biphasic release behavior that depended on enzyme concentration was observed (<i>R</i>² ≥ 0.8733). Molecular docking indicated a favorable interaction (binding energy =  − 5.9 kcal/mol).

This study focuses on tuning the surface properties of CFC through mixed-acid (HNO₃/H₂SO₄) treatment to enhance its wettability and surface reactivity. As a result, a maximum contact angle of 39.8° was achieved after 100 s of acid mixture treatment. The improved surface wettability enabled the uniform electrodeposition of cobalt vanadium selenide (CVS), forming interconnected nanosheet-like arrays on the optimized CFC substrate. Subsequently, Ni was deposited onto the optimized electrode to introduce additional redox-active sites and promote synergistic electrochemical interactions with the CVS structure, leading to enhanced charge-storage capability. As a result, a maximum areal capacitance of 2300 mF cm^-2 was achieved.

Here, we report a programmable dual-crosslinked metallo-elastomer platform, poly(1,3-propylene itaconate-co-2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylate-co-succinate-co-sebacate) (M-PBIS), that integrates dynamic metal–ligand coordination with covalent crosslinking to enable orthogonal control over network mechanics, time-dependent viscoelastic behavior, and processability. PBIS polymers were synthesized by modular step-growth polyesterification, allowing independent tuning of backbone composition, bipyridine ligand density for metal coordination, and alkene (C = C) content for covalent crosslinking. This multidimensional design space allowed systematic tuning of tensile elastic modulus (0.06–3.2 MPa), extensibility (53%–491%), toughness (66–1339 kJ m⁻³), creep resistance, and self-healing behavior, while maintaining controlled hydrolytic degradation and low physiological swelling (&lt; 7%).

In a rat carotid artery interposition model, electrowritten Zn-PBIS grafts maintained patency and dimensional stability through 21 weeks, supporting organized endothelialization, circumferential smooth muscle alignment, and structured extracellular matrix deposition. In contrast, PMMA-templated porous grafts underwent progressive dilation and structural instability during remodeling.

Nevertheless, the scalable fabrication of sensor arrays capable of accurately resolving multiple contact points remains a challenge. Here, we propose an architecture combining mechanically tailored heterogeneous POFs with a warp-and-weft braided network to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio force measurement and precise localization. This heterogeneous POF architecture is realized by strategically embedding soft-fiber segments within a poly(methyl methacrylate-b-<i>n</i>-butyl acrylate-b-methyl methacrylate) (MAM) fiber backbone, thereby achieving localized mechanical tunability. The results show that the soft fluorinated ethylene propylene/polydimethylsiloxane (FEP/PDMS) POF segment exhibit a robust, material-dependent response to applied force, whereas the MAM fibers remain mechanically insensitive, serving exclusively as optical transmission lines. To construct the sensing network, multiple POFs featuring strategically integrated soft FEP/PDMS segments are interwoven in a warp-and-weft configuration. This architecture forms an array where the sensing nodes are defined by orthogonal soft-fiber intersections. The resulting network enables precise tactile quantification and localization, achieving a force resolution of 0.013 N. This design transforms continuous MAM optical fibers from passive waveguides into discrete, high-sensitivity perception pixels. This pixelation effectively eliminates signal crosstalk and ghosting artifacts, critical bottlenecks inherent in conventional flexible grid sensors.

Inspired by nature, animals and plants display diverse structural colors to fulfill survival, communication, and reproduction needs. This unique coloration enables tunable and vivid hues without relying on chemical dyes or pigments, which has spurred the rapid development of optical materials featuring structural color in fields such as color display, anti-counterfeiting, and smart sensing.

Second, the utilization of PCs structural color materials in the textile field is examined, encompassing structural color fibers, yarns, and fabrics. Third, the current challenges faced by structural color fabrics are sorted out and analyzed in a problem-oriented manner, including the colorfastness, preparation efficiency, patterning and functionalization.
