Small, EarlyView.Saccharide‐appended cyclic dipeptides are designed and developed as building blocks for glycosidase‐responsive supramolecular hydrogels. Their aqueous self‐assembly enables β‐galactosidase‐triggered gel‐to‐sol and neuraminidase‐triggered sol‐to‐gel transition systems, highlighting their potential as glycosidase‐responsive soft materials for biomedical ...

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.We constructed a novel excellent photodynamic drug without heavy atoms based on the conventional BODIPY photosensitizer, and then obtained a photodynamic vesicle with efficient tumor targeting (BDPM@OMVs) by bacterial extravasation. Multiple reactive oxygen species were efficiently generated under light irradiation, and the spontaneous elimination of ...

Bacterial peptidoglycan (murein) hydrolases
Most bacteria have multiple peptidoglycan hydrolases capable of cleaving covalent bonds in peptidoglycan sacculi or its fragments. An overview of the different classes of peptidoglycan hydrolases and their cleavage sites is provided.

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms
The Chemical Record, EarlyView.Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

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

Allergy, EarlyView.This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial evaluated the effects of live probiotic and HT postbiotic B. longum CECT 7347 in adults with moderate–severe allergic rhinitis. Postbiotic supplementation for 8 weeks significantly reduced CSMS and dSS, exceeding the established CSMS MCID with a 33% greater improvement, when compared to placebo ...

Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility
Allergy, EarlyView.ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.
