A Smart and Highly Porous Hydrogel for Diabetic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel hydrogel comprising a dual‐crosslinked network of Poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and Gum Arabic (GA) with superior mechanical and anti‐inflammatory properties is designed for advanced diabetic wound healing. Abstract Conventional hydrogels often suffer from poor mechanical strength, limited bioactivity, and uncontrolled therapeutic ...

Copper Stress Response of Antibiotic‐Resistant and Copper‐Tolerant Enterococcus faecium and the Antibacterial Efficacy of Functionalized Copper Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study examines how different laser‐patterned copper and brass surfaces, including copper coatings, affect the survival of vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium. Using microscopy and genome analysis, the results show that copper tolerance varies between strains and can increase after vancomycin exposure.

Disruption of Sulfur Metabolism and Redox Homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus Using Mechanically Robust Antibiofilm Ti‐Bi Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Titanium (Ti) and bismuth (Bi) are selected as alloying elements for the preparation of the Ti‐Bi binary alloy system. Biofilm formation is found to be inhibited by bismuth through the disruption of sulfur metabolism and redox homeostasis, as well as through the direct downregulation of biofilm‐associated proteins.
