The Use of Blue Light as an Antimicrobial Treatment Against Staphylococcus aureus: A Systematic Review

open access: yesLasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of skin, wound, and device‐related infections. Blue light (405–470 nm), shows promise for treating this organism. However, the translatability, dosing parameters, safety, and effectiveness remain unclear, and no systematic review currently exists.

Immunomodulatory Nanozymes as Programmable Redox–Immune Set‐Point Regulators

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Conceptual phase space linking reactive oxygen species level/dynamics to immune state, with pathological set‐points for chronic inflammation, tumor escape, and degeneration contrasted against a central healthy redox–immune set‐point. Buffering and amplifying nanozymes are depicted as devices that dial redox tone up or down to steer diseased ...

Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...
