Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 145-157, June 2026.ABSTRACT Bacteria produce membrane vesicles (MVs) in response to environmental stress and genetic changes. Previous studies have shown that MVs can trigger inflammatory responses and may serve as important mediators of host–microbe interactions. Given the dynamic nature of the oral microbiome, bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans are frequently ...

Clean Up Behind You ‐ Novel Patterning Approach for Solid Immersion Lenses
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.A focused ion beam (FIB) milling strategy enables rapid fabrication of solid immersion lenses (SILs) with smooth, debris‐free surfaces eliminating the need for post‐processing. The optimized pattern improves efficiency and surface quality. SILs containing NV centers are also investigated, confirming the technique's suitability for quantum and photonic ...
