Nanostructured Deep Eutectic Systems in Healthcare: From Bioactive Solvents to Intelligent Biointerfaces, Wearables, and AI‐Driven Design

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Beyond the green solvent paradigm, this review redefines Deep Eutectic Systems (DES) as programmable supramolecular nanoassemblies. We survey their biomedical convergence: stabilizing thermolabile mRNA to enable cold chain‐free logistics, reshaping transdermal microneedle delivery, enabling long‐term wearables via eutectogels, and utilizing Generative ...

Biosynthesis of Bacterial Cellulose

, 2016
Since the first identification of genes for cellulose biosynthesis in Gluconacetob acter xylinus more than 20 years ago, homologous sequences have been identified in the genomes of a large number of bacterial species. The genes for cellulose biosynthesis are organized in an operon consisting of three to four genes and this organization is conserved in ...

Synergistic Advanced Oxidation and Physicochemical Treatment Strategies for Antibiotic Removal and Resistance Mitigation in Water

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of antibiotics in water not only causes environmental pollution but also increases the growth of antibiotic‐resistant bacterial genes, which pose serious threats to human beings and other water residents. Large numbers of people are reportedly affected by the resistant bacterial genes, as many broad‐spectrum antibiotics are not ...

An Intelligent Wound Dressing Platform Based on Natural pH‐Sensors From Syzygium cumini

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a dual‐functionality wound dressing platform based on an alginate–hyaluronate matrix integrated with Syzygium cumini extract. The smart film acts as a sensitive, reversible pH‐sensor for real‐time infection monitoring and a structural plasticizer that enhances mechanical conformability.
