Article Abstract
Precision in early-stage ovarian cancer detection is crucial for improving survival rates, yet often involves invasive or resource-intensive procedures. It is here engineered a portable transdermal biosensor comprising antibody-functionalized hierarchical porous microneedles (hp-MNs) that enables on -needle quantitatively detect human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) via fluorescence immunoassay. Fabricated through a novel phase separation micro-molding technique, the biomimetic microneedles feature a coral-like hierarchical inter-connective porous structure with noteworthy liquid absorption capacity and high antibody-binding density, enabling reliable in vivo biomarkers enrichment and detection with nanomolar sensitivity to differentiate disease from benign biofluids. Furthermore, a groove structure allows concurrently detection of multiple tumor biomarkers at identical regions without cross-influence in a single application, enhancing sensitivity and precision. This work advances the field of porous polymeric microneedles and offers a promising guideline for developing more accurate and noninvasive diagnostic systems.

Decades of antibiotic misuse have spurred an antimicrobial resistance crisis, creating an urgent demand for alternative treatment options. Although phototherapy has therapeutic potential, the efficacy of the most advanced photosensitizers (PS) is essentially limited by aggregation-induced quenching, which significantly reduces their therapeutic effect. To address these challenges, we developed a cationic metallocovalent organic framework (CRuP-COF) via a solvent-mediated dual-reaction synthesis strategy.

Sectionally nonlinearly functionally graded (SNFG) structures with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) are considered ideal for bone implants because they closely replicate the hierarchical, anisotropic, and porous architecture of natural bone. The smooth gradient in material distribution allows for optimal load transfer, reduced stress shielding, and enhanced bone ingrowth, while TPMS provides high mechanical strength-to-weight ratio and interconnected porosity for vascularization and tissue integration. Wherein, The SNFG structure contains sections with thickness that varies nonlinearly along their length in different patterns.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to energy conversion technologies and requires efficient catalysts for superior performance. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbide-derived carbon (N-CDC) catalysts are prepared using novel engineered molecular architectures based on polymer-derived ceramic technology. The obtained catalyst materials show a surface N concentration of >5 wt % and a hierarchically porous structure, resulting in a specific surface area of over 2000 m g.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are environmentally persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals that contaminate global drinking water resources. Their ubiquity and potential impact on human health motivate large-scale remediation. Conventional materials used to remove PFASs during drinking water production are functionally inefficient or energetically expensive, motivating the discovery of new materials and technologies.

Electrochemical sensors capable of detecting different types of biomolecules using a single electrode are highly desirable for simplifying analytical platforms and expanding their practical applicability. Herein, we develop a multifunctional electrochemical sensor based on a 3D honeycomb-like porous rGO/PPy-POM composite film for the independent detection of dopamine (DA) and folic acid (FA), two chemically distinct and clinically relevant biomolecules. The electrode is fabricated through a facile, low-cost, and environmentally friendly breath figure method to create a 3D porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) framework, followed by codeposition of polypyrrole (PPy) and polyoxometalates (POMs).
