Comparative genomic analysis of hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide metabolic pathways in Limosilactobacillus fermentum

Scientific Reports
Limosilactobacillus fermentum strains influence human health through distinct metabolic pathways; however, the genetic basis of these strain-specific functions remains unclear. This study investigated phenotypic divergence between two L.

A laboratory evaluation of nozzle tip damage in four generations of intraocular lens injector systems using a self-developed damage scale

Scientific Reports, 2022
During intraocular lens (IOL) implantation it is not uncommon for the injector’s nozzle-tip to get damaged. However, the damage has not been systematically described or evaluated using an objective scale.

Engineering Concentration‐Dependent Intravitreal Mobility via Cyclic Arginine‐Enriched Nanocarrier Surface Modification: In Vivo Proof‐of‐Concept in a Porcine Large Animal Model

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, Hammer et al. highlight cyclic‐arginine surface engineering as a highly biocompatible, controllable, and concentration‐dependent regulator of intravitreal nanoparticle mobility in vivo in a translational large animal model. The cyclic arginine surface‐modification supports the development of next‐generation biomaterials for long‐acting ...

Beyond Presumptions: Toward Mechanistic Clarity in Metal‐Free Carbon Catalysts for Electrochemical H2O2 Production via Data Science

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐free carbon catalysts enable the sustainable synthesis of hydrogen peroxide via two‐electron oxygen reduction; however, active site complexity continues to hinder reliable interpretation. This review critiques correlation‐based approaches and highlights the importance of orthogonal experimental designs, standardized catalyst passports ...
