A Robust Heparin‐Mimicking Polyglycerol‐Based Coating for Blood‐Contacting Devices with Long‐Term Hemocompatibility and Preliminary Anti‐Inflammatory Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A robust heparin‐mimicking coating based on sulfated polyglycerol is constructed via layer‐by‐layer assembly on bloodcontacting surfaces. The coating exhibits long‐term anticoagulant and anti‐inflammatory properties by resisting protein adsorption, preventing platelet activation, and suppressing immune responses, offering a promising strategy for ...

Two new species of Fulvifomes (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetaceae) on threatened or near threatened tree species in Japan.

open access: yesMycoscience, 2021
We describe two new species of Fulvifomes based on morphological observations and phylogenetic investigations. Both species were identified as Phellinus rimosus by former mycologists, but both are morphologically distinct from authenticated specimen of P. rimosus. Fulvifomes boninensis is characterized by perennial basidiomata, a sulcate pileus surface

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases
