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.

A Modular, Lego‐Like Microfluidic Platform for Multimodal Analysis of Biofilm Formation and Antimicrobial Response

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A modular microfluidic platform with integrated electrodes enables real‐time, label‐free monitoring of biofilm formation, treatment, and regrowth. The system evaluates both antibiotic response and antimicrobial coating efficacy on P. aeruginosa. Its LEGO‐like design supports dynamic migration studies, offering a clinically relevant, scalable tool for ...

Reduced Passivity and Enhanced Pitting Around Crack Tip Measured Using Scanning Electrochemical Cell Microscopy

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
High‐resolution scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) mapping shows that plastic deformation near fatigue cracks in CA6NM stainless steel progressively reduces passivity and increases pitting susceptibility. This work reveals how mechanical stress drives localized corrosion in corrosion‐fatigue conditions.

Reduction of Micro‐Motion at the Tapered Connection of Hip Endoprostheses with an Adapted Deep Rolling Process of CoCrMo Inner Tapers

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The ball burnishing processes demonstrated a notable reduction of surface roughness, which in turn helps to reduce the formation of wear particles and is reflected in the significantly reduced wear rate. The torsional resistance in the range of micro‐motion (≈2 Nm) can be improved by implementing a ball burnishing process with augmented depth hardness.

Advancements in Dissolving Microneedles for Effective Transdermal Delivery in Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory joint disease, faces limitations with conventional therapies. Dissolving microneedles (DMNs) enable biocompatible, high‐capacity transdermal drug delivery. However, skin elasticity challenges their strength, limiting drug release depth.

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

Advanced 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.
