Assembly of Bioactive Superstructures via Metal–Phenolic Complexation for Blood Purification
Bioactive superstructures are assembled via metal–phenolic‐mediated assembly on agarose templates, followed by modification with human serum albumin. These superstructures demonstrate high bilirubin adsorption efficiency, strong antibacterial activity, and anticoagulant activity, providing a strategy for the rational design of multifunctional blood ...

Shewanella oneidensis and Bacillus subtilis, both harboring prophages, reveal a novel biosynthetic route to scalable and programmable DNA superstructures in flower‐ and wire‐like shapes, respectively. Activation of prophages is achieved via 3‐hour starvation and monitored using reporter strains.

Intermittent catheter use can damage the urinary tract and predispose to infection. We deployed a complex human urothelial model to investigate. Catheter contact induced compressive and shear stress causing umbrella cell disruption, reduced barrier function, inflammation and increased cell adhesion to the catheter surface.
