Plant architecture fundamentally differs from that of other multicellular organisms in that
individual cells serve as osmotic bricks, defined by the equilibrium between the internal …

Linear chains in thermoplastics make them relatively weak in performance but inherently
weldable and recyclable. By contrast, thermosets with permanently crosslinked networks …

Bee-collected pollen (BCP) is a well-known functional food. Honey bees process the
collected pollen and store it in the hive, inside the comb cells. The processed pollen is called …

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common inflammatory bowel disease with a high
incidence rate and serious consequences. Attempts in this area are focusing on developing …

Naturally occurring micro/nanoparticles provide an incredible array of potential sources
when preparing hybrid micro/nanorobots and their intrinsic properties can be exploited as …

Herein, a novel biosorbent was successfully fabricated through a two-step process
employing Pinus massoniana pollen as raw material. The efficacy of this biosorbent in …

A rapidly increasing body of literature suggests that many biological processes are driven by
phase separation within polymer mixtures. Liquid-liquid phase separation can lead to the …

In the past few years, bioinspired eco-friendly superhydrophobic materials (EFSMs) have
made great breakthroughs, especially in the fields of environment, energy and biology …

Oral drug delivery of microparticles demonstrates shortcomings like aggregation, decreased
loading capacity and batch-to-batch variation, which limits its scale-up. Later, porous …

We demonstrate how programmable shape evolution and deformation can be induced in
plant-based natural materials through standard digital printing technologies. With …
