Article Abstract
The treatment of bone defects presents significant challenges in clinical practice. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) strategies offer a new approach, but existing commercial GBR membranes still lack optimal barrier and osteogenic functions. This study presents the design of a Janus fibrous membrane using classic amphiphilic block copolymers and gelatin methacryloyl containing unsaturated double bonds through a gradient electrospinning process. Specifically, by controlling electrospinning parameters, self-assembly of block copolymers, and secondary photo-cross-linking, differential composition, topological structure, and properties between different layers were achieved, thereby realizing synergistic physiological barrier and repair-promoting functions. By leveraging the Janus effect, it effectively blocks the adverse effects of soft tissue cell ingrowth on bone repair while guiding osteogenic cell proliferation and differentiation. Furthermore, the membrane's functionality is optimized by incorporating the antimicrobial component ε-poly-l-lysine and the osteogenic component niobium. In vivo studies demonstrate the membrane's excellent biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, and remarkable bone regeneration potential in both normal and infectious bone defect animal models. The developed Janus fibrous membrane serves as a versatile platform for biomedical applications, offering the vast potential to effectively address the limitations of current GBR membranes in clinical bone defect treatment.

In the realm of information security, time-resolved photo-switchable fluorescent materials hold promise for new-generation multi-level information encryption, yet how to develop these materials with high performance remains formidable challenges. In this study, the photochromic-fluorescent [(spirooxazine) SO/Polystyrene (PS)]//[4, 4"-Bis[2-(2-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1,1'-biphenyl (CBS-127)/PS] Janus-like nano-fibre is devised and facilely fabricated via a side-by-side electro-spinning. This unusual Janus-like structure overcomes two fundamental limitations: (1) the adverse effects of competition between the SO and CBS-127 for ultraviolet light absorption on the overall performance of the material, thus achieving superior multifunctionality; (2) the puzzle of molecular isomerization being hindered by molecular stacking in SO solid state.

Achilles tendon injuries present significant clinical challenges due to limited regenerative capacity and frequent adhesion formation. Here, we report a melatonin-loaded Janus fibrous membrane (MLT@JFM) that mimics the native paratenon's structure and function to promote scarless tendon healing. The biomimetic membrane consists of an inner methacrylated silk fibroin (SFMA) layer that promotes tendon stem cell functions and an outer melatonin-loaded polycaprolactone methacryloyl (PCLMA) layer that prevents adhesion formation.

Developing an oral fibrous barrier membrane that prevents bacterial invasion while possessing antibacterial properties and facilitating fluid decompression remains a significant clinical and scientific challenge. In this study, we developed a novel Janus membrane by modifying a polypropylene (PP) fibrous membrane with dopamine and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). Fabricated via a simple floating immersion method, this asymmetric bilayer structure consists of a hydrophobic PP layer and a hydrophilic PP/dopamine@30 nm ZnO layer, providing both antibacterial properties and enhanced fluid filtration.

Membrane distillation (MD) holds significant promise for desalinating hypersaline wastewater but faces challenges in simultaneously rejecting both nonvolatile and volatile pollutants. Herein, we introduce a thermo-osmosis-evaporation (TOE) system utilizing asymmetric Janus membranes with gradient pores for sequential molecular sieving, which achieved by sequentially vacuum filtering a mixture of -phenylenediamine (MPD) and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets onto a hydrophobic electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fibrous membrane, followed by interfacial polymerization to form an ultrathin polyamide (PA) layer. The role of the MPD-GO interlayer in modulating the structural properties and selective transport behavior of the PA layer in the PA@MPD-GO configuration was systematically investigated.

Bacterial infection, excessive inflammation, and insufficient tissue remodeling capacity are major factors to delayed or impaired wound healing. This study synthesized Mg-doped bioactive glass (MBG) using the sol-gel method. Subsequently, based on polycaprolactone (PCL), MBG and tea polyphenols (TP), a Janus wound dressing with an enhanced hydrophilic and antibacterial outer layer of PCL-TP (PT) and a hydrophobicity-preserved and tissue generation-promoting inner layer of PCL-MBG (PB) was further fabricated using a sequential electrospinning method.
