“…The infection on the implant caused by the formation of microbial biofilm is one of the common reasons for implant failure. [72][73][74] The biofilm includes both live and dead bacteria which is resistant to the treatment. Once the microbial biofilm is formed on the implant, eradicating such biofilm is extremely difficult.…”

Bioelectricity has been a fundamental property of all living organisms. With electrical stimulation, living cells can interact with their microenvironments, which makes electrical stimulation highly beneficial for various biomedical applications. However, traditional electrical stimulation mainly relies on bulky and complex equipment, which may not be ideal due to the restriction of movement, limited battery lifetime, uncomfortable wearing, and potential unfriendly to the environment. The advent of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) has helped to resolve the existing limitations. TENGs are effective energy harvesting systems that use a mix of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction to create electrical energy from kinetic energy. TENGs deliver self‐powered electrical stimulation to bone cells for functional regulation or bone regeneration, serve as sensors to detect biological signals or movements, or act as a power source for other biomedical devices. TENGs can be employed in various applications, including enhancing bone regeneration, providing sensing function, slowing bone aging, and curing implant‐related infections. The recent applications of TENGs in bone tissue engineering are reviewed, and the drawbacks of the TENGs are discussed. Finally, the existing challenges and future roadmap for developing TENGs are presented.

absorbers (SAs) are widely used to obtain ultrafast lasers. Mode-locking indicates a fixed phase between longitudinal modes in spectral domain, while Q-switching refers to the giant pulse formation due to the tunable Q factor of the laser cavity. Saturable absorption represents the optical modulation that absorption coefficient of SAs decreases with the increase of incident optical intensity, where SAs are often categorized into artificial and real SAs. [7][8][9] Artificial SAs mainly consist of nonlinear polarization evolution, [10,11] nonlinear optical loop mirrors, [12][13][14] and nonlinear amplification loop mirrors, [15,16] which fulfill the function of saturable absorption by means of nonlinear effects. By contrast, real SAs are characterized by the inherent nonlinear absorption property of the materials. Semiconductor saturable absorber mirror is a typical real SA and widely used in diverse lasers. However, several drawbacks such as complex fabrication and narrow operating bandwidth restrict its applications. [17][18][19][20][21] Under such circumstances, nanomaterials emerge as SAs of distinction where 2D nanomaterials have been widely investigated because of the unique optical properties induced by the energy band structures. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Graphene possesses zero bandgap and ultrafast carrier dynamics properties, contributing to a broad operating bandwidth and fast response time. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Nevertheless, the modulation depth of ≈2.3% per layer limits Nanomaterials with outstanding optical properties are widely used in ultrafast photonics. Especially, metal nanomaterials have attracted increasing attention in recent years owing to the surface plasmon resonance that further enhances their nonlinear optical response, making them suitable for generating ultrafast pulses in a wide range of wavebands. Herein, the fabrication and integration processes of typical metal nanomaterials such as gold, silver, and copper, as well as their applications in ultrafast lasers are reviewed. The synthesis methods of metal nanomaterials, which can be divided into dry and wet methods, are first introduced with their characteristics and advantages summarized. Moreover, the integration approaches that are used to incorporate metal nanomaterials into laser cavities are discussed, where sandwich structure based on polymer film and deposition method, as well as evanescent-wave structure based on D-shaped and tapered fiber are demonstrated. Besides, the state of the art of typical ultrafast lasers enabled by metal nanoparticles is systematically reviewed. Finally, current challenges and perspectives on the development of ultrafast photonics enabled by metal nanomaterials are proposed.

Developing a living prosthetic breast to inhibit potential breast cancer recurrence and simultaneously promote breast reconstruction would be a promising strategy for clinical treatment of breast cancer after mastectomy. Here, a living prosthetic breast in the form of injectable gelatin methacryloyl microspheres is prepared, where they encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) nanoparticles loaded with small molecules urolithin C (Uro‐C) and adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs). Taking advantage of the acidic tumor microenvironment, the ZIF triggered a pH‐sensitive drug release in situ so that Uro‐C can induce tumor cell apoptosis via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Meanwhile, the ADSCs proliferate in situ to promote tissue regeneration. Using such a design, our data showed that the ADSCs maintained viable and proliferate under the inhibitory effect of Uro‐C in vitro. Through ROS generation, Uro‐C also activated a suppressive tumor microenvironment in mice by both re‐polarizing M2 macrophages to M1 macrophages for elevated inflammatory responses, and increasing the ratio between CD8 and CD4 T cells for tumor recurrence inhibition, significantly promoting new adipose tissue formation. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the prepared living prosthetic breast with bifunctional properties can be a promising candidate in clinic involving tumor treatment and tissue engineering in synergy.
