Action of Antimicrobial Peptides against Bacterial Biofilms

Materials, 2018
Microbes are known to colonize surfaces and form biofilms. These biofilms are communities of microbes encased in a self-produced matrix that often contains polysaccharides, DNA and proteins.

ROS‐Scavenging Multifunctional Microneedle Patch Facilitating Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and immunomodulatory microneedle patch based on hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HaMA) and Flightless I (Flii)‐siRNA‐laden arginine functionalized poly (β‐amino ester)/alginate particles is developed for chronic wound healing applications.

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Stimulation de la fermentation malolactique par l'addition au vin d'enveloppes cellulaires de levure et différents adjuvants de nature polysaccharidique et azotée

OENO One, 1985
L'addition au vin d'écorces de levure (0,2 g par litre) permet une stimulation de la fermentation malolactique. Leur action s'exerce en augmentant la population bactérienne et surtout en retardant et atténuant la phase de déclin. Le traitement du vin par
