The urokinase receptor (uPAR) facilitates clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
The causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, has been shown to induce expression of the urokinase receptor (uPAR); however, the role of uPAR in the immune response against Borrelia has never been investigated.

A Bio‐Adaptive Janus‐Adhesive Dressing with Dynamic Lubrication Overlayer for Prevention of Postoperative Infection and Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Slippery‐adhesive Janus gel dressing exhibits both stable tissue adhesive and outstanding efficiency in repelling physiological fluids. As a physical barrier, a liquid‐infused surface with a dynamic lubrication overlayer possesses excellent antibiofouling properties, making it highly effective in preventing bacterial infections and postoperative tissue

Injectable and Sprayable Thermoresponsive Hydrogel with Fouling‐Resistance as an Effective Barrier to Prevent Postoperative Cardiac Adhesions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Postoperative cardiac adhesions lead to numerous difficulties in reoperation procedures. Here, a thermo‐responsive in situ formed hydrogel is shown to can reliably cover the wounds after a convenient spraying or injection and significantly reduce adhesion formation in primary and recurrent cardiac injury adhesion models.

Mechanical Biomimetic Nanocomposites for Multidimensional Treatment of Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a mechanical biomimetic nanocomposite is developed, guided by photoacoustic imaging, to achieve highly efficient and safe thrombolysis through the synergistic effects of photothermal therapy and pharmacological intervention. Most notably, the nanoparticle improves the microenvironment of arterial thrombi, marked by high shear stress and ...
