Dual‐Component Spidroin‐Based Hydrogels: A Mechanically Tunable Platform for 2D and 3D Cell Culture

Small, EarlyView.
A dual‐component recombinant spider silk hydrogel platform was developed by combining NT2RepCT with a bioactive vitronectin‐functionalized spidroin domain. The hydrogels self‐assemble under physiological conditions, exhibit tunable mechanical properties, and support 2D and 3D cell culture, providing a versatile platform for mechanobiological studies ...

Synthesis, modification, and chlorhexidine loading of polymer modified‐HM‐HAP particles: In vivo antibacterial analysis and cell cytotoxicity assessment

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
This study presents the synthesis of hollow mesoporous hydroxyapatite (HM‐HAP) particles modified with different weights PEG and PEI. Chlorhexidine was loaded onto the particles. SEM analysis confirmed no significant morphological changes. Antibacterial activity was tested in vitro and in vivo using mouse oral bacteria, demonstrating promising results.

Phenotypic Florfenicol Resistance in floR‐Harbouring Flavobacterium psychrophilum Isolates (CC‐ST90): A Case Study From Danish Freshwater Rainbow Trout Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monitoring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in fish pathogens is essential for supporting sustainable aquaculture. In this study, susceptibility testing and genome sequencing were used to characterize the AMR profile of seven Flavobacterium psychrophilum originating from Danish rainbow trout farms (2019–2022).
