Article Abstract
Collagen, the most abundant structural protein in the human extracellular matrix (ECM), provides essential support for tissues and guides tissue development. Despite its widespread use in tissue engineering, there remains uncertainty regarding the optimal selection of collagen sources. Animal-derived sources pose challenges such as immunogenicity, while the recombinant system is hindered by diminished bioactivity. In this study, we hypothesized that human ECM-like collagen (hCol) could offer an alternative for tissue engineering. In this study, a facile platform was provided for generating hCol derived from mesenchymal stem cells with a hierarchical structure and biochemical properties resembling native collagen. Our results further demonstrated that hCol could facilitate basal biological behaviors of human adipose-derived stem cells, including viability, proliferation, migration and adipocyte-like phenotype. Additionally, it could promote cutaneous wound closure. Due to its high similarity to native collagen and good bioactivity, hCol holds promise as a prospective candidate for and applications in tissue engineering.

The rapid increase in multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and biofilm-associated infections has intensified the global need for innovative antimicrobial strategies. Phage therapy offers promising precision against MDR pathogens by utilizing the natural ability of phages to specifically infect and lyse bacteria. However, their clinical application is hampered by challenges such as narrow host range, immune clearance and limited efficacy within biofilms.

High-fidelity biosignal monitoring is essential for daily health tracking and the diagnosis of chronic diseases. However, developing bioelectrodes capable of withstanding repeated use and mechanical deformation on wet tissue surfaces remains a significant challenge. Here, we present a robust and ultrathin bioelectrode (RUB), featuring a mechanically heterogeneous architecture and a thickness of ∼3 μm.

Globular proteins, traditionally regarded as non-structural biomolecules due to the limited load-bearing capacity in their monomeric states, are increasingly recognized as valuable building blocks for functional-mechanical materials. Their inherent bioactivity, chemical versatility, and structural tunability enable the design of materials that combine biological functionality with tailored mechanical performance. This review highlights recent advances in engineering globular proteins-spanning natural systems (serum albumins, enzymes, milk globulins, silk sericin, and soy protein isolates) to recombinant architectures including tandem-repeat proteins-into functional-mechanical platforms.

Drought stress dynamically reprograms specialised metabolism in medicinal plants. However, the transcriptional regulatory modules governing stress-adaptive metabolite synthesis remain poorly characterised. Here, we identified SbMYB8 as a drought-responsive transcription factor showing nuclear localisation and dose-dependent induction under drought in Scutellaria baicalensis.
