Fabrication of a Lipopolysaccharide‐Targeting Peptide‐Based Colloid for Alleviating Carbapenem‐Resistant Enterobacteriaceae‐Induced Cutaneous Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel cationic peptide, IW is designed and synthesized, with a tandem‐repeat sequence demonstrating potent activities against a broad spectrum of clinically relevant Carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae in both the planktonic and biofilm states. IW is then formulated with P407 to form IW‐P407 colloids.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Zero‐Power, Optical Toxic Gas and Vapor Sensors Utilizing Printed Nematic Liquid Crystal Patterns on Selectively Reactive Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Fast response, zero‐power, text or image sensors utilizing light transmission or reflection, and no unfavorable color change judgments, are fabricated using printed nematic liquid crystals patterned on reactive alignment layers, permit ppt‐ to ppb‐level sensitivity, and were field‐tested with active firefighters.

Biosensors for Biological Warfare Agent Detection

open access: yesDefence Science Journal, 2007
Biological warfare agents (BWA) such as Bacillus anthracis, Francisella tularensis, Yersinia pestis or butulotoxin represent one of possibilities exploitable by military or terrorists. Rapid detection of BWA is one of the most important presumptions prerequisities for successful defence agai nst t hem.

Reversible High‐Affinity Binding of Coagulation Factor Xa to Zeolites Induces Accelerated Blood Coagulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A calcium‐dependent, specific biorecognition between coagulation factor Xa (FXa) and zeolite is discovered. It alters the prothrombin activation pathway to a more efficient mechanism by mimicking the FXa/factor Va (FXa/FVa) interaction formed during the natural coagulation cascade.

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.
