Deep Learning Enables Identification of Antimicrobial Peptides Through Mechanochromic Fingerprints
We demonstrate a new platform for antimicrobial peptide identification by combining polydiacetylene, hyperspectral imaging, and deep learning. The trained model classifies distinct spectral fingerprints into 14 peptide classes with 96.79% accuracy, revealing previously hidden molecular information beyond conventional colorimetric sensing.

Refining a preclinical model of viral myocarditis in accordance with biotech standards
This study aimed to refine a murine model of Coxsackievirus B3‐induced myocarditis by integrating dietary and imaging innovations to improve animal welfare, data quality, and clinical applicability. The refined diet significantly reduced animal health burden, reduced weight loss, and stabilized blood glucose during development of cardiac inflammation ...

Nanodiamonds as Bioactive Platforms to Modulate Microbial, Mammalian, and Vertebrate Systems
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are biocompatible and antibacterial nanomaterials that support mammalian cell growth while inhibiting bacterial pathogens. NDs showed strong antibacterial activity, with Escherichia coli being more sensitive than Staphylococcus aureus. At 10 mg/mL, both bacteria exhibited ~8% viability.

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods
Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...
