Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Responsive nitric oxide‐releasing antibacterial materials for biofilm‐associated infections: Mechanisms, design strategies, and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the recent progress in responsive NO‐releasing materials and their applications in biofilm‐associated infectious diseases. The design principles and response mechanisms are given to provide inspiration toward the future development of multi‐responsive NO‐releasing materials.

Mapping the Conformational Landscape of DNA Minicircles Through Atomic Force Microscopy and Shape Space Analysis

Small, EarlyView.
An automated framework is presented for quantifying DNA conformational variability from atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. DNA backbones are reduced to spline representations and analyzed using cyclic Procrustes analysis to measure shape similarity across ensembles.

Large‐Scale Structural Dynamics in the Tail Fiber Modulate the Infective Transition of the T7 Bacteriophage

Small, EarlyView.
During host recognition, the fibers of T7 bacteriophages transition from a capsid bound state to an extended conformation, which requires some level of fiber flexibility. By using high‐speed atomic force microscopy, we show that the fibers have an internal molecular hinge and a torsionally compliant coiled‐coil region.

Recent Advances in Photocatalyst‐Driven Protein Labeling and Proximity Mapping

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Photocatalyst‐driven protein labeling and proximity mapping have rapidly advanced as powerful strategies for spatiotemporal control in complex biological environments. This review integrates recent developments across single‐electron transfer and energy transfer‐based mechanisms and highlights how catalyst design, reactive intermediates, and diffusion ...

Diagnostic antibodies at an inflection point: From discovery platforms to design‐oriented engineering

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study systematically organizes the evolution of diagnostic antibodies from discovery platforms to design‐oriented engineering and analyzes the strengths and limitations of each approach. Meanwhile, it provides a critical, literature‐driven synthesis of current challenges, proposing integrated strategies for assay‐aware and function‐driven antibody

Rapid and efficient quality control analysis of isolated mitochondria by interferometric light microscopy

VIEW, EarlyView.
Mitochrial transplantation is a promising therapy to restore energy in damaged cells, but it lacks fast and reliable methods to assess mitochondrial quality before use. In this study, we used a label‐free imaging technique called interferometric light microscopy to rapidly measure the size and concentration of isolated mitochondria.

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

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.
