Abstract Current treatment modalities of cutaneous wound infections are largely ineffective, attributed to the increasing burden antimicrobial resistance. S. aureus , a commonly wound‐associated pathogen continues pose clinical challenge, suggesting that new alternative therapeutic materials urgently required provide optimal treatment. A layered allotrope phosphorus termed Black Phosphorus nanoflakes (BPNFs) has emerged as potential antibacterial material. However, wider deployment this...
Additively manufactured titanium implant materials are rapidly advancing prosthetics and orthopaedic devices by making them more cost-effective customisable. However, the surface finish of printed via Selective Laser Melting (SLM) currently limits their integration into medical device field. Printing parameters, such as build angle inclination, can cause variations in roughness a part, often exceeding what is suitable for materials. Excessive promote microbial attachment proliferation,...
Gallium-based liquid metals (LMs) have emerged as novel materials for biomedical applications. Gallium (Ga) is considered significantly less toxic than other LMs, such mercury. However, Ga droplets not been thoroughly assessed their cytotoxicity. Here, we report the concentration-dependent cytotoxic effects of nano- and microdroplets on HaCaT cells, a human keratinocyte cell line. We found that demonstrated substantial at 1000 μg/mL after 24 h exposure, while lower concentrations 500...
The small size of the nanoparticles used to obtain high surface area photocatalysts makes their removal from solution difficult. Producing on substrates would alleviate this limitation. Adding heterojunctions photocatalysts, for example, TiO
Naturally occurring and synthetic nanostructured surfaces have been widely reported to resist microbial colonization. The majority of these studies shown that both bacterial fungal cells are killed upon contact subsequent surface adhesion such surfaces. This occurs because the presence high-aspect-ratio structures can initiate a self-driven mechanical rupture during adsorption process. While this technology has received large amount scientific medical interest, one important question still...
The rise of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria requires new therapeutics to be developed. Several metallic nanoparticles such as those made from silver, copper, and zinc have shown significant antibacterial activity, part due metal ion leaching. Ga3+ containing compounds also been properties. Accordingly, it is estimated that Ga droplets may antibacterial, some studies date confirmed this. Here, multiple concentrations were tested against the resistant Gram-positive...
The heterogeneity of fungal biofilms are spatially characterized using a combination AFM, nanoindentation, and ATR-FTIR.
In the fight against drug-resistant pathogenic bacterial and fungal cells, low-dimensional materials are emerging as a promising alternative treatment method. Specifically, few-layer black phosphorus (BP) has demonstrated its effectiveness wide range of cells with studies suggesting low cytotoxicity towards healthy mammalian cells. However, antimicrobial mechanism action BP is not well understood. Before new applications for this material can be realised, further in-depth investigations...
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and ionic liquids (ILs) are highly tailorable that have shown a lot of promise for variety applications including cryopreservation, drug delivery, protein stabilisation. However, to date, there is very limited information on the detailed interactions these with mammalian cells. In this work, we studied six DESs one IL show as cryoprotective agents, applying synchrotron macro–ATR–FTIR examine their effects key biochemical components HaCat These data were paired...
