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‐

Information theory & quorum sensing

, 2011
Quorum sensing is a non-contact communication technique for bacteria cells. This communication improves the chance of the bacteria’s survival rate as well as virulence factor and other tasks that require a collective effort.

Human Colitis‐on‐Chip Model Reveals Dual Roles of Butyrate in Epithelial and Macrophage Defense Against Candida albicans Tissue Invasion

Small, EarlyView.
This study establishes a human immunocompetent colitis‐on‐chip model that mimics inflamed gut mucosa and enables quantitative analysis of Candida albicans tissue invasion under DSS‐induced injury. It reveals that microbiota‐derived butyrate simultaneously stabilizes epithelial junctions and reprograms macrophages via HDAC/NLRP3‐dependent mechanisms ...

Autonomous and Communicative Microcapsule Systems for Life‐Like Homeostatic pH Regulation

Small, EarlyView.
A dual‐microcapsule system mimicking biological homeostasis is developed, enabling programmable pH oscillations through antagonistic enzymatic feedback. Monodisperse urease and esterase capsules, produced via hybrid‐junction 3D‐printed microfluidics with epoxy‐modified channels, exhibit adaptive shell permeability and inter‐capsule communication.

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

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.
