Disruption of Sulfur Metabolism and Redox Homeostasis in Staphylococcus aureus Using Mechanically Robust Antibiofilm Ti‐Bi Alloys

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Titanium (Ti) and bismuth (Bi) are selected as alloying elements for the preparation of the Ti‐Bi binary alloy system. Biofilm formation is found to be inhibited by bismuth through the disruption of sulfur metabolism and redox homeostasis, as well as through the direct downregulation of biofilm‐associated proteins.

Damage Microenvironment Guided Responsive Smart Hydrogel Design for Self‐Regenerative Repair in Chronic Wound Healing

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Chronic wounds remain a major therapeutic challenge, with VEGF applications hindered by rapid degradation and systemic side effects. Here, a dual‐responsive chitosan–gelatin hydrogel is reported, functionalized with dopamine, glutathione, and MMP‐sensitive motifs, enabling spatiotemporally controlled VEGF release and enhanced biocompatibility, thereby ...
