Plasma‐Treated Hydrogel for Combined RONS and Chemotherapy Delivery: A Proof‐of‐Concept In Ovo

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores plasma‐treated hydrogels (PTH) as a new way to deliver both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and chemotherapy (Doxorubicin) directly to tumors. In ovo tests show effects after a single dose, especially in osteosarcoma tumors. Tumor weight decrease, and a resistance‐related protein is reduced.

Nanofillers Reinforcing Biopolymer Composites for Sustainable Food Packaging Applications: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biopolymers are sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to petroleum‐based plastics for food packaging. Its adoption is often limited by poor mechanical strength, barrier properties, and improved thermal stability through the incorporation of nanofillers.

Antimicrobial stewardship

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2019
Antimicrobial resistance is a global concern threatening patient safety directly, and through secondary impact on patients undergoing chemotherapy, surgery, transplantation and other areas of care reliant upon effective anti-infective therapy. To address antimicrobial resistance, ongoing programmes of activity in human and animal health, and in ...

Bacterial membrane vesicles restore gut anaerobiosis

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Inflammation damages the epithelial cell barrier, allowing oxygen to leak into the lumen of the gut. Respiring E. coli and other Enterobacteriaceae produce proinflammatory lipopolysaccharide, exacerbating inflammatory bowel disease.

Embedded 3D‐Coaxial Bioprinting of Stenotic Brain Vessels with a Mechanically Enhanced Extracellular Matrix Bioink for Investigating Hemodynamic Force‐Induced Endothelial Responses

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a physically enhanced vascular dECM bioink and used 3D‐coaxial bioprinting are developed to fabricate mature brain blood vessels for cerebral atherosclerosis research. This model demonstrates that vascular geometry‐induced hemodynamic changes trigger vascular inflammation, ensuring its potential for cerebrovascular research.

Improving Electrical Performance and Lifespan of Liquid‐Based Triboelectric Nanogenerator via Charge‐Inducing Structure

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study developed a new strategy that not only enhances the electrical performance but also the durability of the liquid based TENG. A simple charge‐inducing structure (CIS) provides a strong surface charge via solid–solid contact, minimizing ion‐caused power decrease.
