ε‐Poly‐L‐lysine‐graft‐oligo(3‐hexylthiophene) Copolymers as Antibacterial and Biodegradable Polymer Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ε‐Poly‐L‐lysine‐graft‐oligo(3‐hexylthiophene) (EPL‐g‐O3HT) copolymers are engineered as biodegradable and antibacterial materials for transient electronics. EPL‐g‐O3HT exhibits tunable conductivity, controlled enzymatic degradability, good biocompatibility, and potent antibacterial activity. They are demonstrated in electromyography sensors and organic

Fast pH‐Driven Solubilization Method of Realgar (As4S4) to Reduce the Toxicity of Arsenic [As(III)] for Medicinal Purposes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Arsenic trioxide transformed acute promyelocytic leukemia therapy and shows promise against HIV. A new method to solubilize the mineral realgar produces different arsenic species depleting the main arsenic target, nuclear PML protein, and retaining effects on leukemic and HIV reservoir cells, while minimizing off‐target damage.

A Promising Point‐of‐Care Testing Strategy: Ultrasmooth Gold Nanogroove Arrays Biosensor Combined with Initial Rate Analysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reports a nanoplasmonic biosensing platform with exceptional surface sensitivity (0.618 nm nm−1, Δn = 0.117 nmol) and narrow linewidth (≈20 nm) under normal incidence. By integrating a miscellaneous‐protein strategy with initial rate analysis (IRA), this sensor can detect 1 ng mL−1 of AFP in serum with a broad linear range (1–104 ng mL−1 ...

Adipose Tissue Macrophages as Initiators of Exacerbated Periodontitis in Estrogen‐Deficient Environments via the Amplifier Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic systemic inflammation, worsened by estrogen deficiency, underlies and exacerbates periodontitis. Proinflammatory macrophages within visceral adipose tissue are hyperactivated due to hyper‐DNA methylation, releasing small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) similar to those of their parent cells.
