The mPEG-PCL Copolymer for Selective Fermentation of Staphylococcus lugdunensis Against Candida parapsilosis in the Human Microbiome. [PDF]
, 2016 Many human skin diseases, such as seborrheic dermatitis, potentially occur due to the over-growth of fungi. It remains a challenge to develop fungicides with a lower risk of generating resistant fungi and non-specifically killing commensal microbes.

Antibiotic-loaded nonwovens as protection against implant-associated infection
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021 Implant-associated infections still must be considered as a major risk factor and represent a significant threat to the well-being of patients. The detection of such complications is often late, making therapy at this stage difficult. However, the common

Nonbiodegradable Spiegelmer-Driven Colorimetric Biosensor for Bisphenol A Detection
Biosensors, 2022 Spiegelmers are enantiomers of natural D-oligonucleotides that bind to targets with distinct structures such as aptamers. The high susceptibility of natural D-form aptamers to nucleases greatly hinders their application in biological environments.

Preparation and properties of biocompatible PCL-PEG-PCL(PCEC) [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019 In this work, the ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone was performed, and the structure and properties of the copolymer were characterized. Copolymerization of PEG into PCL is expected to improve the hydrophilicity and degradation properties of PCL. In our study. We have studied the effect of various factors on the block polymer of PCL-PEG-PCL
