3D Printed High‐Strength Hydrogel for Dual Release of Cu2+ and Ag+ Ions to Enhance Bone Repair and Antibacterial Properties

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bone restoration is often hindered by the spatiotemporal dysregulation of immune and regenerative signals. Conventional bio‐inert implants, providing only passive support, fail to modulate this microenvironment, leading to infections and poor healing.

Titanium Implant Abutments With Polydopamine‐Mesoporous Cerium Dioxide Coatings for Enhanced Antibacterial, Anti‐Inflammatory, and Soft Tissue Integration Properties

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The poor soft tissue integration around titanium implants creates a microgap that serves as a pathway for pathogen invasion, resulting in infection, inflammation, and the progression of peri‐implantitis. As the implant’s transmucosal component, the abutment determines the degree of peri‐implant soft tissue attachment.

An Ultrasound‐Triggered Antibacterial Hydrogel With Integrated Antioxidant and Angiogenic Functions for Infected Wound Care

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Managing diabetic wounds requires simultaneously addressing their infectious, oxidative, and regenerative impairments. To address this, this study integrates a piezoelectric BiOCl@CuSe heterojunction (PFM‐verified) into an injectable F127/HA hydrogel, creating an ultrasound‐responsive smart dressing.

Metal‐Doped Carbon‐Based Nanomaterials: Photothermal Mechanism Innovation and Precision Therapy Advancement in Antibacterial and Antitumor Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Metal‐doped carbon‐based nanomaterials (M‐CNM) play a strategically significant role in next‐generation precision antibacterial and antitumor therapies, as they integrate synergistic photothermal ablation, catalytic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and multimodal imaging capabilities. However, their clinical translation is hindered by

Sustainable Nanocellulose‐Based Materials for Environmental Remediation: Structure–Function Relationships and Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution across water, air, and soil systems poses escalating threats to human health and ecosystem stability, driven by heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, particulate matter (PM), bioaerosols, and toxic gases. Conventional remediation technologies often suffer from limited selectivity, insufficient efficiency, and the

Elevation, soil pH and calcium availability shape regional and local scale spatial patterns of PhoD gene abundance in tropical and subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 983-1000, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.
