A pH‐Switchable Cerium Single‐Atom Enzyme for Peri‐Implantitis Therapy via JAK‐STAT Signaling Axis‐Mediated Macrophage Reprogramming

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 61, 3 November 2026.
A pH‐switchable cerium single‐atom enzyme is developed for stage‐specific peri‐implantitis therapy. Acidic conditions trigger antibacterial peroxidase‐like activity, whereas neutral conditions activate an antioxidant superoxide dismutase ‐ and catalase ‐like enzymatic relay. This microenvironment‐adaptive catalytic strategy suppresses the IL‐6/JAK‐STAT

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the aggregation of a purple phototrophic bacteria mixed consortium

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 11, Page 2301-2309, November 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND An essential aspect of applying Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) technology for wastewater treatment is the biomass separation from the aqueous phase. Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been used to enhance the aggregation of different biological matrices. In this paper, the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the aggregation of a mixed culture of PPB was
