Printing and Rerouting of Elastic and Protease Responsive Shape Memory Hydrogel Filaments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A biofabrication strategy, Rerouting of Free‐Floating Suspended Hydrogel Filaments (REFRESH), is developed enabling the printing of highly elastic, reconfigurable protease‐responsive hydrogel filaments with shape memory properties. The filaments can be manually braided, knotted, and rerouted to create intricate cell‐laden 3D architectures, expanding ...

Compare the efficacy of antifungal agents as primary therapy for invasive aspergillosis: a network meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Several antifungal agents are available for primary therapy in patients with invasive aspergillosis (IA). Although a few studies have compared the effectiveness of different antifungal agents in treating IA, there has yet to be a definitive ...

Biofilm-forming capability of highly virulent, multidrug-resistant Candida auris [PDF]

, 2017
The emerging multidrug-resistant yeast pathogen Candida auris has attracted considerable attention as a source of healthcare–associated infections. We report that this highly virulent yeast has the capacity to form antifungal resistant biofilms sensitive

Aerosolized Delivery of Antifungal Agents [PDF]

Current Fungal Infection Reports, 2010
Pulmonary infections caused by Aspergillus species are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Although the treatment of pulmonary fungal infections requires the use of systemic agents, aerosolized delivery is an attractive option in prevention because the drug can concentrate locally at the site of infection ...

Ultra‐Fine 3D Bioprinting of Dynamic Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for in Vitro Modeling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
3D bioprinting merges tissue engineering and additive manufacturing to create biological structures. A bioink is developed by modifying hyaluronic acid, a natural extracellular matrix polymer, with cysteine. Potassium iodide is later added to tune gelation kinetics, enabling fine printing with a 32G needle.

Antifungal Drugs: Special Problems Treating Central Nervous System Infections

Journal of Fungi, 2019
Treating fungal infections in the central nervous system (CNS) remains a challenge despite the availability of new antifungal agents. Therapy is limited by poor understanding of the kinetic properties of antifungal drugs in the CNS compounded by lack of ...

Synergistic Anti-Candida Activity of Bengazole A in the Presence of Bengamide A †. [PDF]

, 2019
Bengazoles A⁻G from the marine sponge Jaspis sp. exhibit potent in vitro antifungal activity against Candida spp. and other pathogenic fungi. The mechanism of action (MOA) of bengazole A was explored in Candida albicans under both liquid culture and ...

Transcriptome assembly and profiling of Candida auris reveals novel insights into biofilm-mediated resistance [PDF]

, 2018
Candida auris has emerged as a significant global nosocomial pathogen. This is primarily due to its antifungal resistance profile but also its capacity to form adherent biofilm communities on a range of clinically important substrates.
