Chronic nanoplastic exposure causes size-dependent cytotoxicity and ANGPTL4 induction in human kidney cells

This study shows that chronic exposure to 20 nm nanoplastics causes cytotoxicity and induces ANGPTL4 in human kidney cells, while 100 nm nanoplastics have minimal effects.

Injectable Electrospun Hydrogel with Antimicrobial, pH Sensing Nanoparticles for Local Infection Control and Monitoring

This paper develops an injectable hydrogel with antimicrobial and pH-sensing nanoparticles for infection control and monitoring, showing efficacy against MRSA and reduced inflammation.

Ionic regulation of Gram-positive phage adsorption governs host range and improves phage isolation efficiency

The paper shows that adjusting ionic conditions improves phage isolation from Gram-positive bacteria and expands their host range.

Acetic acid induces osmotic imbalances in drug-resistant bacteria synergistically enhancing cobalt-doped carbon quantum dots bactericidal efficiency

This study shows that acetic acid enhances the bactericidal effect of cobalt-doped carbon quantum dots against drug-resistant bacteria by inducing osmotic imbalances and membrane damage.
