Printing Nacre‐Mimetic MXene‐Based E‐Textile Devices for Sensing and Breathing‐Pattern Recognition Using Machine Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a Ti3C2Tx MXene/WPU nacre‐mimetic nanomaterial as a printable ink for direct‐write printing onto textiles‐based sensors. The resulting wearable device demonstrates high sensitivity, biocompatibility, and mechanical strength. Furthermore, NFC‐enabled humidity sensor produces time‐series data, which informs a machine learning ...

Antifungal Resistance in Pulmonary Aspergillosis

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
AbstractAspergilli may cause various pulmonary diseases in humans, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), and acute invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). In addition, chronic colonization may occur in cystic fibrosis (CF).

Unlock the Walnut: How a Pectin‐Rich Suture Tissue and Moisture‐Driven Crack Formation Induce Shell Splitting and Facilitate Seed Germination

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Walnut seeds are enclosed in a remarkably strong shell made of sclerenchyma, separated by a pectin‐rich suture tissue. Different cell shapes and chemical composition of this tissue point to an opening mechanism, which is triggered by cyclic humidity changes.

The importance of antimicrobial resistance in medical mycology

Nature Communications, 2022
The impact of fungal infections on human health has been exacerbated by the rise of antifungal drug resistance. In this Review, the authors outline the problem of antifungal resistance and suggest how this growing threat might be mitigated.

Epidemiology and antifungal resistance in invasive candidiasis [PDF]

European Journal of Medical Research, 2011
The epidemiology of Candida infections has changed over the last two decades: The number of patients suffering from such infections has increased dramatically and the Candida species involved have become more numerous as Candida albicans is replaced as an infecting agent by various non-C. albicans species (NAC).
