Diterpenoid Diversity across Land Plants

Helvetica Chimica Acta, EarlyView.
Here we bridge the knowledge of diterpene chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and evolution from nonvascular mosses and liverworts to that known from vascular plants. ABSTRACT The diverse array of diterpenoid natural products stems from the ease of manipulating the promiscuity of diterpene cyclases.

Achieving superior therapeutic effects on methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection via simple sulfonation process for preparing zwitterionic photosensitizer

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The sulfonated zwitterionic photosensitizer (PYSO3) is synthesized by reacting maleic anhydride derivatives with 4‐aminopyridine to form PY, followed by sulfonation with 1,4‐butane sultone. It exhibits both photothermal and photodynamic properties, enabling effective eradication of MRSA and biofilms, as well as promoting wound healing in mice ...

Stimuli‐responsive hydrogels: An intelligent tool for wound management

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
For chronic and complex wounds, this review focuses on intelligent hydrogels capable of responding to wound microenvironmental cues (e.g., pH, enzymes) or external stimuli (e.g., light, electricity). These advanced materials enable the dynamic regulation of drug release and real‐time monitoring of healing progression, thereby offering innovative ...

Intratumoral bacteria engineered for tumor therapy

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This article comprehensively reviews engineered intratumoral bacteria used in tumor therapy. The concept development, characteristics, and engineering methods of intratumoral bacteria are summarized. The mechanisms and the translational significance by which engineered intratumoral bacteria interfere with tumor progression are discussed and highlighted.

Bio‐Inspired, Zwitterionic Copolymers with Amphiphilic Character

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Zwitterionic copolymers based on arginine‐derived monomers are produced by xanthate‐supported photo‐iniferter reversible‐addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer polymerization. Experiments in relevant conditions show that the designed (co)polymers hardly interact with biologically relevant proteins and enzymes such as bovine serum albumine (BSA), fetal ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
