When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...

Gallium β‐Cyclodextrin Nanoparticles Containing both Gallium Protoporphyrin and Gallium Nitrate Exhibit Antimicrobial Activity against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Vitro and in Vivo

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cyclodextrin nanoparticle containing both Ga(NO3)3 and GaPP is synthesized and tested against non‐tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The in vivo efficacy of the nanoparticle therapy is additionally tested by treating pulmonary NTM infections in mice and observed much greater effectiveness in bacterial clearance and survival of mice.
