Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

Decoding host–microbial dynamics in peri‐implantitis: Ecosystem‐specific experimental models
Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is an inflammatory disease arising within a unique host–microbial–biomaterial ecosystem. Unlike periodontitis, peri‐implant tissues lack a periodontal ligament and epithelial junction integrity and interface with metal oxides on titanium surfaces.

ABSTRACT Classical models of formation of sedimentary siliceous rocks (flint, chert, opoka) commonly assume that the Cretaceous marine silicon (Si) cycle was primarily biologically controlled, broadly analogous to the modern ocean. In this framework, siliceous sponges are regarded as the principal source of dissolved silica (dSi) to sediment porewaters,

Proto‐Panic Modulation by Caffeine‐Proteinoid Complexes
Caffeine–proteinoid microspheres synthesized by thermal polymerization exhibit compartmentalized drug loading with encapsulation efficiencies of 61%–82% and triphasic release kinetics. Electrochemical monitoring reveals multi‐scale oscillatory dynamics consistent with chaotic and damped harmonic behavior, while Boolean logic operations demonstrate ...
