Large-Scale Nanofiber Manufacturing| Cellular Spatial sensing Determines Cell MechanotransductionActivity on the Aligned Nanofibers 2025-05-14

Fiber-based tissue engineering has become crucial for designing scaffolds that closely mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM consists of complex fiber networks with varying alignment patterns. Electrospun nanofibers are widely used as scaffold materials in tissue engineering, but how cells respond to differently aligned fibers remains controversial. Some studies suggest aligned fibers promote osteogenic differentiation, while others show random alignment works better. This contradiction stems from insufficient understanding of how cells perceive fiber spatial characteristics.From a mechanobiological perspective, regardless of external conditions, cell behavior is primarily governed by intracellular traction forces. These forces are generated through actin stress fibers and transmitted to the ECM via focal adhesions, then converting mechanical signals into nuclear responses that influence chromatin structure and gene expression. This mechanical feedback loop regulates cell morph

Large-Scale Nanofiber Manufacturing| Robust Super-Liquid-Repellent nanofibermembranes for long-term high-efficiencyair filtration in harsh conditions 2025-05-14

Against the backdrop of rapid global economic development and accelerated industrialization, air pollution has become increasingly severe, posing serious threats to human production, daily life, and health. Air filtration, as a direct and efficient means to remove harmful particles from the air, plays a critical role in air purification. However, existing air filters face challenges, as they lose functionality and durability under extreme temperatures or harsh conditions, significantly impacting their service life. Particularly in industrial sectors such as automotive, power plants, metallurgy, and chemical engineering, exhaust emissions often contain large amounts of acidic/alkaline corrosive substances, organic solvents, and other hazardous materials, demanding higher performance from air filtration materials. Thus, developing materials with high efficiency, chemical/thermal resistance, and comprehensive filtration capabilities to address air filtration challenges in complex and hars
