Hollow‐Structured Nanorobot with Excellent Magnetic Propulsion for Catalytic Pollutant Degradation, Anti‐Bacterial and Biofilm Removal

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hollow‐structured Fe3O4@AgAu@PDA‐ZnPc nanosphere has been developed, exhibiting controllable catalytic activity and “photothermal‐photodynamic‐Ag+” coupling antibacterial characteristics. When subjected to a rotating magnetic field, these performances are uniquely enhanced by magnetic propulsion, allowing the nanosphere to function as a magnetic ...

Enhancing the Pharmacokinetics of Aptamers: Targeting AXL In Vivo Using a Bottlebrush Polymer‐Conjugated Aptamer

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A phosphodiester‐backboned bottlebrush polymer (pacDNA) engineered for aptamer delivery is presented. This design enhances aptamer stability, plasma pharmacokinetics, and target engagement in vivo. In AXL‐driven cancer models, pacDNA inhibits AXL signaling and reduces tumor growth, highlighting the promise of precision polymer scaffolds in aptamer ...

The effect of combined sewer overflow (CSO) on the abundance of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the James River [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial infections worldwide since their discovery in the early 20th century and are vital to human health. Unfortunately, the heavy use of antibiotics has led to the increased natural selection of antibiotic ...

Generalizing Gelatin Methacryloyl Granular Hydrogel Fabrication Using Stable Microgels with Predictable Stiffness

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) granular hydrogel scaffolds (GHS) are fabricated using a generalized two‐step photocrosslinking approach to yield stable (non‐dissolving) microgels suitable for in situ covalent assembly under physiological conditions. A phase diagram is developed to define the interplay between individual microgel stability and scaffold ...

Restrictive use of antibiotics in organic animal farming – a potential for safer, high quality products with less antibiotic resistant bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes
Spread of antibiotic resistance along the food-chain is a major food safety concern due to the risk of treatment failure of human foodborne infections. Recent reports suggest that the restrictions on use of antibiotics in organic animal farming promote ...

Antibiotic resistance evolved via inactivation of a ribosomal RNA methylating enzyme. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Modifications of the bacterial ribosome regulate the function of the ribosome and modulate its susceptibility to antibiotics. By modifying a highly conserved adenosine A2503 in 23S rRNA, methylating enzyme Cfr confers resistance to a range of ribosome ...

Combination of Polydopamine and Plasma Oxidation to Increase Tissue Integration of Polyurethane‐Silicone Copolymers for Cardiovascular Implants

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Plasma oxidation following polydopamine deposition can significantly reduce the surface hydrophobicity of polyurethane‐siloxanes without impacting surface roughness, thereby increasing fibroblast viability, adhesion, and extracellular matrix production and secretion.

Persisters show heritable phenotype and generate bacterial heterogeneity and noise in protein expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Persisters are a small subpopulation of bacteria that survive a lethal concentration of antibiotic without antibiotic resistance genes. Isolation of persisters from normally dividing population is considered difficult due to their slow growth, low ...

Synthetic Antiferromagnetic Designer Nanodisks for High‐Performance Magnetic Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Micromagnetic‐modeling‐based design and scalable fabrication of synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) magnetic disk particles (MDPs) using sputter deposition enable high‐performance magnetic separation. The SAF MDPs achieve high colloidal stability and magnetic responsiveness and enable efficient magnetic separation, outperforming conventional particles ...
