Discriminating Between Living and Dead Bacteria With a Field‐Effect Transistor Based on Nano‐Channels

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Bacterial viability is determined in a complex environment with a field‐effect biological transistor with a limit of detection of a single bacterium. Living, antibiotic‐treated, thermally denatured, and inhibited E. coli generate distinct electrical signatures, enabling label‐free single‐cell detection and providing new opportunities for rapid ...

Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...

Advances in Unconventional and Sustainable Synthetic Approaches to Benzopyran Scaffolds

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of low‐impact synthetic methodologies reported in the last 8 years (2018–2026) for the construction of benzopyran‐derived scaffolds, such as coumarins, flavones, chromones, chromenes, and chromanes. The benzopyran scaffold is a versatile family of heterocycles found in a wide range of bioactive

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Nanobodies as next‐generation targeting platforms: From discovery technologies to translational biomedicine

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Nanobodies, derived from the variable domains of camelid heavy‐chain‐only antibodies, have emerged as transformative biomedical tools due to their nanoscale size, exceptional stability, and unique capacity to recognize cryptic epitopes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlining the structural and biochemical features of ...
