Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Microfluidic Spinning of PEDOT:PSS Microfibers for Nerve Guidance Conduits

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This publication explores the fabrication of microfluidically spun PEDOT:PSS microfibers for conductive nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). It details the spinning process, fiber characterization, and biocompatibility assessment. The study highlights the fibers' mechanical and electrical properties, non‐cytotoxicity, and potential for nerve regeneration or

Antibiotic–Polycationic Peptide Conjugation as an Effective Strategy to Overcome Daptomycin Resistance

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of new antibiotics with “resistance‐breaking” properties. In this study, conjugation of polycationic peptides is proven to represent a versatile strategy for the fast and affordable reactivation of daptomycin.
