A Metal‐Polyphenol Self‐Assembled Coated 3D Sponge With Mild Photothermal Antibacterial, Exudate‐Controlling, and Immunomodulatory Functions for Hemostasis and Chronic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thrombin‐functionalized copper‐polydopamine nanofiber sponge integrates rapid hemostasis, mild photothermal antibacterial therapy, stimulus‐responsive Cu2+ release, chemodynamic oxidative stress, and macrophage immunomodulation. This multifunctional dressing suppresses infection, regulates inflammation, promotes angiogenesis and re‐epithelialization,

A study of Clostridium difficile in biofilm mode of growth using the Sorbarod filter system [PDF]

In all ecosystems, bacteria are likely to grow in biofilms, and the organisms making up the natural flora of the colon are considered to be no exception to this. One of the most important hospital-acquired infections is antibiotic associated diarrhoea,

Prophage Activation Triggers Extracellular Synthesis of DNA in Bacterial Biofilms via Rolling Circle Replication

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
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.

Multifunctional Zinc Glycyrrhizinate‐Integrated Gel for Enhanced Probiotic Delivery and Alleviation of Acute and Spontaneous Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multifunctional oral delivery system—L. reuteri@ZGM—act as both a carrier and therapeutic adjuvant, providing ROS scavenging, and mucin‐interactive properties tailored to the IBD microenvironment. This bioactive gel safeguards L. reuteri from gastric degradation, enhances mucosal adhesion, and promotes long‐term retention at inflamed sites, thereby ...

Global anti-biofilm performance of ZA-related compounds and structures with the most significant anti-biofilm performance.

, 2015
Global anti-biofilm performance value of each ZA-related compound calculated as (sum of cell adhesion codes of all concentrations)-(sum of planktonic growth codes of all concentrations). Values equal to 0 were considered without anti-biofilm performance,

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.

Host‐Specific Interactions Between Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Impair Epithelial Repair in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently associated with polymicrobial biofilms involving Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Interactions between these organisms are thought to influence disease severity, but the epithelial effects of exoproteins derived from patient‐matched cocultures remain poorly defined ...

Assessment of Biofilm Formation and Anti-Inflammatory Response of a Probiotic Blend in a Cultured Canine Cell Model

Gut dysbiosis and an inflamed bowel are growing concerns in mammals, including dogs. Probiotic supplements have been used to restore the natural microbial community and improve gastrointestinal health.

Modeling Catheter‐Associated Bladder Mucosal Adhesion and Microtrauma Using a Human Urothelial Microtissue Model

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
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.

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...
