Self-propelled nano- and micromachines have immense potential as autonomous seek-and-act devices in biomedical applications. In this study, we present microrobots constructed with inherently biocompatible materials and propulsion systems tailored to ...
Microrobotic techniques are promising for treating biofilm infections located deep within the human body. However, the presence of highly viscous pus presents a formidable biological barrier, severely restricting targeted and minimally invasive treat...
Bio-instructive materials that intrinsically inhibit biofilm formation have significant anti-biofouling potential in industrial and healthcare settings. Since bacterial surface attachment is sensitive to surface topography, we experimentally surveyed...
BACKGROUND: There is a pressing need to create innovative alternative treatment approaches considering the overuse of antifungal drugs causes the number of clinically isolated fluconazole-resistant species to increase. antimicrobial peptide (GmAMP)...
The phyto-synthesis of ternary CuO/ MnO/ZnO nanocomposite was achieved by the utilization of an eco-friendly, straightforward approach that involved the extract of Nigella sativa seeds. Our ternary nanocomposite appears to include equal amounts of Cu...
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Alpinia japonica, a traditional herb utilized in Miao medicine in southwestern China, has been employed to alleviate symptoms such as stomachache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, some of these symptoms may be associated ...
A biofilm is a group of bacteria that have self-produced a matrix and are grouped together in a dense population. By resisting the host's immune system's phagocytosis process and attacking with anti-microbial chemicals such as reactive oxygen and nit...
Bioinspired materials based on self-assembling peptides are promising for tackling various challenges in biomedical engineering. While contemporary data-driven approaches have led to the discovery of self-assembling peptides with various structures a...
Recalcitrant biofilm infections pose a great challenge to human health. Micro- and nanorobots have been used to eliminate biofilm infections in hard-to-reach regions inside the body. However, applying antibiofilm robots under physiological conditions...
