Oligohistidine‐Functionalized Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube‐Guided RNA Delivery to Improve Shoot Regeneration Efficiency in Plant Calli

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The pH‐sensitive His6‐SWNTs, which is functionalized with oligohistidine, can deliver STTM396 molecules into callus cells. The STTM396–SWNT complex treatments enhance shoot regeneration efficiency by regulating the miR396‐GRF module in Arabidopsis and tomato calli.

Oxygen Evolution Reaction by Ni‐Hexacyanoferrates Nanocubes Integrated with Trigonal Selenium: Effect, Properties and Performances

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work describes a novel approach to obtain composite submicrometric structures of nickel hexacyanoferrate integrating trigonal selenium with the aim of enhancing the catalytic efficiency in oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Interestingly, the nanostructures undergo a cube‐to‐sphere transition that optimizes surface properties, leading to superior ...

Host‐Directed Biomaterials for Combatting Bloodstream Infections: From Macrocyclic Peptides to Immune‐Activating Cell Backpacks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bloodstream infections (BSI) are one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in both civilian and military populations. This paper summarizes recent progress in novel treatment strategies to manage BSI arising from both bacterial and fungal pathogens using molecules, particles, and materials to elicit host‐directed immunity.
