Reflector‐Free, Highly Confined Love‐Like SAWs Enabled by a Phononic Metasurface for Real‐Time Monitoring of Cell Dynamics

ABSTRACT Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are widely used in sensing and biosensing but generally suffer from strong attenuation in liquid environments. Conventional approaches rely on reflectors to reduce these losses, yet these components remain difficult to optimize: limite...

Advances in 3D Bioprinting for Breast Cancer Modeling: Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis, and Drug Screening

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and heterogeneous milieu encompassing biological and biochemical events and diverse physical, chemical, and mechanical interactions between tumor and stromal cells. This heterogeneity plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor progressi...
