Photodynamic Inactivation of Mammalian Viruses and Bacteriophages

open access: yesViruses, 2012
Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) has been used to inactivate microorganisms through the use of photosensitizers. The inactivation of mammalian viruses and bacteriophages by photosensitization has been applied with success since the first decades of the ...

Mussel‐Inspired Molecular Strategies for Fabricating Functional Materials With Underwater Adhesion and Self‐Healing Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Traceless Photopolymerization with Non‐Pulsed Red Light Enables 3D‐Printable Cell‐Laden Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The paper presents a red‐light‐induced polymerization process, initiated by the FDA‐approved dye methylene blue and the cytocompatible co‐initiator triethanolamine, for fabricating hydrogels. This photopolymerization process is oxygen‐tolerant, cytocompatible, and, most importantly, leaves no color traces, resulting in completely transparent scaffolds.
