A Critical Call for Mechanistic Investigations of Metal‐Bacteria Interactions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.It is well established that the antibacterial properties of metals have tremendous importance for bioengineering applications. What is not as appreciated, however, is the reproducibility crisis in this field's vast literature. In this perspective, we highlight this reproducibility problem, discuss its sources, and suggest solutions towards focused ...

Plasma clearance of iohexol simplified by dried blood spot testing.
, 2021 Renal function can be estimated with formulas, which are inaccurate, or measured with gold standard methods, which are reliable but unpractical. We propose to simplify the plasma clearance of iohexol, a gold standard method to measure renal function, measuring iohexol in dried blood spot samples (DBS).

Bacteria‐Trained, MnO2‐Armored Dendritic Cells for Immunotherapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.MnO2‐armored, bacteria‐trained dendritic cells undergo tumor‐responsive mechanical and immunological transformation. The nanocoating masks immune ligands and maintains a mechanically stiff, quiescent state during circulation, while the tumor microenvironment removes the armor and restores cellular deformability and immune accessibility.
