The chronic wound characterisation study and biobank: a study protocol for a prospective observational cohort investigation of bacterial community composition, inflammatory responses and wound-healing trajectories in non-healing wounds

BMJ Open
Introduction Chronic wounds affect 1%–2% of the global population, with rising incidence due to ageing and lifestyle-related diseases. Bacterial biofilms, found in 80% of chronic wounds, and scattered single-cell bacteria may hinder healing. Microbes are

Laboratory Grown Biofilms of Bacteria Associated with Human Atherosclerotic Carotid Arteries Release Collagenases and Gelatinases during Iron-Induced Dispersion

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The association of bacteria with arterial plaque lesions in patients with atherosclerosis has been widely reported. However, the role these bacteria play in the progression of atherosclerosis is still unclear.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of heavy-metal transport and fate in an artificial biofilm [PDF]

, 2008
Unlike planktonic systems, reaction rates in biofilms are often limited by mass transport, which controls the rate of supply of contaminants into the biofilm matrix.

Enhanced Endoscopic Internal Drainage of Gastric Abscess Through Additively Manufactured Stents

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Postoperative gastric leaks are often treated with off‐label biliary double‐pigtail stents, yet conventional extruded designs are not optimized for leak anatomy, can migrate, and may limit abscess evacuation. PETALS is introduced to optimize transmural drainage geometry and enable patient‐specific 3D‐printable stents.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Antimicrobial Activity of Naturally Occurring Phenols and Derivatives Against Biofilm and Planktonic Bacteria

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Biofilm-forming bacteria present formidable challenges across diverse settings, and there is a need for new antimicrobial agents that are both environmentally acceptable and relatively potent against microorganisms in the biofilm state. The antimicrobial

Diffusion in Biofilms [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2003
Much of what makes life in a microbial biofilm different from life in a free aqueous suspension can be explained by invoking the phenomenon of diffusion. This article discusses the profound influence of the physics of the diffusion process on the chemistry and biology of the biofilm mode of growth.
