DENTA: A Dual Enzymatic Nanoagent for Self‐Activating Tooth Whitening and Biofilm Disruption

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The nanoapatite with dual enzymes (DENTA) accumulates in dentinal tubules, reducing hypersensitivity caused by dental nerve exposure and facilitating continuous ROS generation through salivary glucose for effective, long‐term whitening. The dentin structures remain non‐destructive due to the low concentration of ROS, demonstrating excellent cell ...

A Robust Heparin‐Mimicking Polyglycerol‐Based Coating for Blood‐Contacting Devices with Long‐Term Hemocompatibility and Preliminary Anti‐Inflammatory Properties

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A robust heparin‐mimicking coating based on sulfated polyglycerol is constructed via layer‐by‐layer assembly on bloodcontacting surfaces. The coating exhibits long‐term anticoagulant and anti‐inflammatory properties by resisting protein adsorption, preventing platelet activation, and suppressing immune responses, offering a promising strategy for ...
