Mechanical forces are central determinants of development, homeostasis, and pathology in oral and maxillofacial tissues, yet most regenerative strategies continue to prioritize biochemical signaling over mechanical control. In anatomically and functionally heterogenous tissues such as dentin-pulp, periodontium, temporomandibular joint, oral mucosa, and salivary glands, mechanics is not a secondar…

The minimal residual disease (MRD) following tumor resection remains a major challenge for preventing recurrence. Existing treatments usually exhibit poor specificity for scattered tumor cells at the surgical site. Moreover, few strategies successfully combine real-time MRD monitoring with sustained therapeutic intervention, further limiting their efficacy. To address these issues, we developed a…
