Multinucleated giant cells (MGCs), formed from macrophage fusion, occur as a consequence of a number of pathological conditions in the body. MGC formation can be particularly destructive to synthetic implants, as it etches their surface, and could lead to implant failure. Despite significant research into macrophage fusion, there are many underlying...

Stretchable conductors have a variety of applications in flexible electronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices. Room-temperature liquid metals can be used to create circuits that are intrinsically soft and remain functional even when stretched to several times their initial length. Traditional methods of manufacturing liquid metal structures are...
