Synthetic organoids made by combining white blood cells or tonsil cells with a hydrogel that mimics the immune tissue microenvironment provide a platform for mechanistic analysis of B cell maturation, humoral immunity and modelling of patient-specific responses.

In this Review, Lee and colleagues describe the biosignal sensing principles of wearable blood pressure sensors and discuss blood pressure estimation methods, including the use of machine learning algorithms.

Cell expansion at large-scale remains a big challenge in the growing field of cellular agriculture. Here, the authors present an approach for the production of muscle and adipose cell-laden microtissues using edible porous microcarriers for 3D printing of cultured fish fillets.

Redesigning biomaterials to proactively modulate the complement system can reduce unintended immune responses and enhance their therapeutic efficacy.

Insights from probing the shock-absorbing layer inside the crustacean’s club-like claw could inspire the design of tough new materials.

An article in Nature Communications presents a new biofabrication technique called multimaterial cryogenic printing, which leverages cryogenic solvent phase transitions to develop free-standing hydrogel constructs and hydrogel-based machines.

Synthetic organoids made by combining white blood cells or tonsil cells with a hydrogel that mimics the immune tissue microenvironment provide a platform for mechanistic analysis of B cell maturation, humoral immunity and modelling of patient-specific responses.

An article in Advanced Materials reports the development of an implantable, shape-morphing 3D micro-light-emitting diode device that enables continuous and effective light irradiation of pancreatic tumours.
