Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans sensitivity towards chlorophyll of Moringa leaf after activated by diode laser

Dental Journal, 2016
Background: Regular brushing teeth with scaling and root planning (SRP) cannot effectively decrease the periopatogen bacterial colonies. Even with the addition of antibiotics to support SRP, such as tetracycline given with low doses and for a long time ...

Antibacterial Hydrogel Dressing With Ca2+‐Dependent Hyaluronidase Responsiveness for Accelerating Wound Healing via On‐Demand Release of AIE Photosensitizers

Exploration, EarlyView.
This study innovates a Ca2+‐responsive hydrogel dressing that releases AIE photosensitizers on‐demand. Low Ca2+ enhances bacterial hyaluronidase (HAase) activity, degrading hyaluronic acid dressing to trigger antibacterial ROS release, while high Ca2+ inhibits HAase, preventing overdosing.

Cationic Bacteriochlorin in the photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology
Bacteriochlorophyll extracted from groups of purple non-sulfur bacteria, structurally modified, produces the photosensitizer bacteriochlorin, used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Photosensitizers (PS) irradiated with light of a specific wavelength provides the generation of reactive oxygen species through the excitation of molecular oxygen, leading to ...

Metal‐dependent regulated cell death: Molecular architecture and translational frontiers

iMeta, EarlyView.
Intracellular metal dyshomeostasis orchestrates distinct regulated cell death programs, including iron‐driven ferroptosis, copper‐mediated cuproptosis, calcicoptosis, newly designated zincoptosis, mnoptosis, and coptosis. This review systematically delineates their molecular architectures—spanning from Sorafenib‐induced lipid peroxidation and ...
