Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Sarcopenia in COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis
European Respiratory Review, 2019 COPD is associated with a progressive loss of muscle mass and function. However, there is an unmet need to define and standardise methods to estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia in COPD patients. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the

Advanced Nanoparticle Therapeutics for Targeting Neutrophils in Inflammatory Diseases
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights recent advances in nanoparticle‐based strategies to modulate neutrophil activity in inflammatory diseases. By targeting inflammatory neutrophils, NET formation, and neutrophil apoptosis or recruitment, these approaches aim to improve therapeutic precision.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hydrogel‐forming microneedle patches are developed using shape‐preserving PVA‐PVP hydrogels, with and without chitosan, for minimally invasive transdermal protein biomarker sampling. The optimised patches enable efficient interstitial fluid uptake and proteomic analysis, while minimising interference.

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.
