Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Taming L\'evy flights in confined crowded geometries
, 2014 We study a two-dimensional diffusive motion of a tracer particle in restricted, crowded anisotropic geometries. The underlying medium is the same as in our previous work [J. Chem. Phys.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Electrospun Fibrinogen-Polydioxanone Composite Matrix: Potential for In Situ Urologic Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics, 2008 Our objective is to demonstrate an electrospun fibrinogen-PDO (polydioxanone) composite scaffold will retain the superior cellular interaction of fibrinogen while producing a product with the functional strength needed for direct implantation. Fibrinogen-

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study presents the elaboration of antibacterial, antiadhesive, and antibiofilm polyurethane by a straightforward process based on the co‐extrusion of 2 wt.% of both antibacterial and antiadhesive copolymer. The material proves to be active even after pre‐exposition to biological media and prevents E. coli biofilm formation without toxicity.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study reviews the relevant work regarding the modification of self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) by electron irradiation. Both fundamental aspects and the related implications and applications are addressed. The latter includes tuning SAM properties, preparation of binary SAMs, conventional and chemical lithography, carbon nanomembranes, control of ...
