Biomedical Application of Cold Plasma: Navigating Through Plasma Types and Devices by Antimicrobial Effectiveness and Tissue Tolerance

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cold plasma devices (J‐Plasma, Piezo Brush PZ3, Plasma Care) generate unique reactive species that penetrate tissues differently, enabling biofilm eradication while preserving tissue health. This study uncovers plasma‐device interactions with biofilms and surfaces, highlighting tailored applications for precision medicine and infection control ...

Antibiotic–Polycationic Peptide Conjugation as an Effective Strategy to Overcome Daptomycin Resistance

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of new antibiotics with “resistance‐breaking” properties. In this study, conjugation of polycationic peptides is proven to represent a versatile strategy for the fast and affordable reactivation of daptomycin.

Can soil biology tests improve phosphorus and potassium corn fertilizer recommendations?

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3457-3472, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Integrating soil health (SH) biological properties with soil fertility (SF) evaluations offers a unique opportunity to potentially refine fertilizer recommendations. The objectives of this research included: (a) evaluating current University of Missouri P and K fertilizer recommendations for corn (Zea mays L.) and (b) assess whether SH ...

Bee Better: The Role of Honey in Modern Wound Care

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The use of honey as a wound care agent is controversial but paradoxically increasingly popular. Honey possesses relevant antimicrobial properties and can modulate the immune system. The wound healing properties of honey likely depend on its composition and varies across wound types.

ROS‐Driven Nanoventilator for MRSA‐Induced Acute Lung Injury Treatment via In Situ Oxygen Supply, Anti‐Inflammation and Immunomodulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A ROS‐driven in situ oxygen supply nanoventilator based on enzyme nanocapsule can convert ROS into O2 through enzyme cascade reaction between SOD and CAT to relieve lung hypoxia, and kill MRSA by releasing vancomycin, which effectively reduces HIF‐1α expression and balances pro‐inflammatory/anti‐inflammatory macrophages ratio, thereby reducing the ...

Advances in Nano‐Immunomodulatory Systems for the Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on the biodegradability and the immunological reactiveness, IMNs can be broadly classified into four categories. The first category includes types of biologically derived materials that cause immunomodulatory action and biodegradability like nanoparticles of cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, and exosomes.
