Figure Lengend Snippet: Kirigami-based Implantable Therapeutic Devices. (a) The kirigami-based SMP is restructured from a cylindrical shape into a Y-shaped structure to expand narrowed bifurcated blood vessels. Reproduced with permission . Copyright 2022, Wiley. (b) By combining cutting and folding, structural reconstruction can be achieved via balloon expansion for fracture treatment. Reproduced with permission . Copyright 2020, The Authors. (c–e) Patches with different kirigami patterns can well adapt to the surface of the heart and brain, controlling cell movement through electrical and optical stimulation for disease treatment.
