Here, the first successful cell-by-cell evaluation of tissue viscoelastic transition is presented. An in situ micro-mechanical perturbation is applied to a microtissue, and the resulting volumetric deformation is evaluated using 3D light-sheet microscopy and digital image correlation (DIC), quantifying both solid-like, well-aligned displacement and liquid-like swirling motion between individual cells. The viscoelastic transition of fibroblasts is crucial in fundamental physiological events, such as placentation, cancer dissemination, and wound healing. This study investigates 3D organoid systems modeling maternal-fetal and tumor-stroma interfaces, demonstrating established molecular and structural parallels. The analysis visualizes individual cells in stromal-epithelial interactions and how they collectively alter tissue viscoelastic properties. It also enables in-silico microdissection, linking single-cell viscoelasticity with multi-channel fluorescence. RNAseq analysis of endometrial stromal fibroblasts shows that decidualization activates mechano-transcriptional regulators, including myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs), associated with increased cellular contractility and actomyosin mobilization. Knocking down MRTFA in cancer-associated fibroblasts in the tumor-fibroblast co-culture 3D model induces significant changes in fibroblast properties, mirroring those observed in the maternal-fetal interface model, highlighting parallels between placentation and cancer invasion.

However, most studies on reconfigurable acoustic metasurfaces rely on cumbersome and time-consuming control systems. These approaches often struggle with fabrication techniques, as conventional methods face limitations such as restricted material choices, challenges in achieving complex geometries, and difficulties in incorporating flexible components. This paper proposes a novel approach for developing a reconfigurable metasurface inspired by the Kresling origami, designed for programmable manipulation of acoustic waves at an operating frequency of 2000 Hz. The origami unit cell is fabricated using multimaterial three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, allowing for the simultaneous printing of two materials with different mechanical properties, thus creating a bistable origami-based structure. Through optimization, two equilibrium states achieve a reflection phase difference of π through the application of small axial force, <i>F</i>, or torque, <i>T</i>. Various configurations of the metasurface, generated from different combinations of these two equilibria, enable distinct reflective behaviors with switchable and programmable functionalities. The principle of this work simplifies the shaping of acoustic waves through a straightforward mechanical mechanism, eliminating the need for complex control systems and time-consuming adjustments.</p>","PeriodicalId":7292,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials Technologies","volume":"10 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/admt.202401660","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a compound motion-mode tribovoltaic nanogenerator (CM-TVNG) for monitoring the gear transmission system using gears' unique meshing transmission form. The CM-TVNG uses the approach-slide-separation composite motion of silicon wafers attached to both sides of the tooth slots and the tooth top of the mating gear to generate a DC signal with discernible periodic characteristics. The working principle of CM-TVNG is verified by theoretical analysis and COMSOL dynamic simulation. The main working parameters verify CM-TVNG output characteristics and applicability under various conditions. Subsequently, CM-TVNG's ability to detect gear's state is verified. Using a deep learning (DL) model, gear faults are diagnosed with a diagnostic accuracy of up to 95.5%.
