Microenvironment Modulation‐Based Nanomaterial‐Loaded Hydrogel Dressings for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Research Progress and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
xx xx. ABSTRACT Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic complication of diabetes, primarily caused by hyperglycemia, peripheral vascular disease, and neuropathy. Characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, impaired perfusion, inflammation, and infection, DFUs pose significant challenges to healing and are associated with high morbidity and amputation ...

Linking Microbial Community Structure to Trait Distributions and Functions Using Salinity as an Environmental Filter

open access: yesmBio, 2019
The structure and function of microbial communities vary along environmental gradients; however, interlinking the two has been challenging. In this study, salinity was used as an environmental filter to study how it could shape trait distributions ...

Patterns in marine microbial community structure

open access: yes, 2012
[ES] La comprensión de la distribución de los distintos grupos que forman el picoplancton representa una de las preguntas fundamentales de la ecología microbiana marina. Centrando nuestro estudio en los tres grupos principales que constituyen la comunidad de picoplancton (tamaño de 0,2 a 3 mm), hemos tratado de analizar la distribución de bacterias ...
