A Mussel‐Inspired Bioadhesive Patch to Selectively Kill Glioblastoma Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative mussel‐inspired bioadhesive patch has been developed for post‐surgical glioblastoma treatment. The patch, which adheres strongly in biological environments, releases a localized treatment. This treatment, acting via reactive oxygen species, shows specific toxicity to glioblastoma cells.

Visible Light‐Activated ZnO@CuO Coaxial Nanofibers Enhance Infected Skin Wound Healing Through Construction of p‐n Heterojunctions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coaxial ZnO@CuO nanofibers activated by visible light generate ROS through enhanced photocatalytic reactions driven by improved electron hole separation in the heterojunction. This strategy enables rapid antimicrobial activity and early infection control, thereby promoting the healing of MRSA infected and diabetic wounds with biosafe and easily ...

Iron/Cobalt Dual‐Atom Catalyst Orchestrate Photothermal‐Chemodynamic Immunotherapy Against MRSA: Multi‐Omics Dissection in Murine and Porcine Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FeCo dual‐atom catalyst (FeCo‐N‐DAC) with ultrahigh metal loading (Fe > 5.4%, Co > 4.8%) is developed for synergistic photothermal‐chemodynamic immunotherapy. FeCo‐N‐DAC penetrates deep‐seated tissues, eradicates MRSA biofilms, and reprograms immune‐inflammatory pathways via multi‐omics‐validated mechanisms.

Precise Construction of an Antimicrobial Peptide Targeting Bacterial Cell Membranes Derived From Natural Peptides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An AMP (P 3‐3R‐8I) based on natural peptides, which can target bacterial cell membranes, was precisely constructed via amino acid mutation. P 3‐3R‐8I exhibits antibacterial capability which could be attributed to the ability of P 3‐3R‐8I to quickly penetrate bacterial cell membranes and then to bind to bacterial DNA.

Photothermal–Immunomodulatory Hydrogel Reinforced by Ti3C2/ZnAl‐LDH Nanoplatform for Eradicating MRSA and Promoting Diabetic Wound Healing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A NETs‐inspired Ti3C2/LDH hydrogel integrates trapping, ROS boosting, and M2‐immunomodulation for MRSA‐infected wound repair. ABSTRACT MRSA infections give rise to chronic cutaneous and advance into profound tissue invasions, including osteomyelitis and sepsis—conditions for which existing clinical interventions offer only limited efficacy. The utility

NIR Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Antibacterial Hydrogels for Synergistic MRSA Biofilm Eradication and Wound Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The nanohybrid hydrogel (Fe‐BOS@C/H Gel) is composed of Fe‐Bi2O2‐XS (Fe‐BOS) photocatalysts and CS‐ADH/OHA (C/H) hydrogel. Fe‐BOS photocatalysts achieve near‐infrared (NIR) light‐driven antibacterial photocatalytic/mild photothermal therapy (APCT/MPTT), effectively eliminating methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilms. The degradation
