摘要

Living tissues continually remodel the extracellular matrix, causing pericellular mechanics to drift over time. Chronic glycation amplifies this drift, destabilizing mechanoregulatory cues and compromising regenerative outcomes. Here we introduce Micro-Mechanical Homeostasis Reset, a material-based strategy that targets cell-to-pericellular viscoelastic homeostasis rather than static bulk stiffness. Using an agent-guided, rule-based enumeration-and-scoring workflow, we design ViscoClamp, an extracellular matrix-interpenetrating peptide hydrogel with affinity for calcium ions and advanced glycation end products. We show that ViscoClamp buffers chronic glycation loading and constrains glycation-driven viscoelastic drift, while remaining permissive to mesenchymal stem cell-mediated matrix remodeling and mineralization. We quantify stabilization using a dispersion-transfer ratio that measures how variable glycation inputs are compressed into stable micromechanical outputs. We demonstrate that in glycation-rich hyperglycemic craniofacial defects, ViscoClamp stabilizes cell-scale micromechanics, restores osteogenic activation, and improves bone repair and mineralization in rats, rabbits, beagle dogs, and rhesus macaques.
