The antibiofilm effect and mechanism of silver nanowire-modified glass ionomer cement against multi-species oral biofilm by Tiantian Guo, Dai Wang, Sherry Shiqian Gao

“…Results SEM images showed that fewer biofilms were accumulated on the AgNW-GIC surfaces. The live/dead assay showed that the ratio of live bacteria was significantly lower in AgNW-GIC groups than in conventional GIC (5.8% vs. 100%, p < 0.0001). …”

Highly Sensitive In Vivo Imaging of Bacterial Infections with a Hydrophilicity‐Switching, Self‐Immobilizing, Near‐Infrared Fluorogenic β‐Lactamase Probe Enriched within Bacteria... by Fangfang Chen, Yuyao Li, Yan Peng, Yifan Zhu, Gao He, Zhengwei Zhang, Hexin Xie

“…The discovery of effective therapies against antibiotic‐resistant pathogens has become an urgent need, necessitating innovative approaches to accelerate the identification and development of novel antibacterial agents. On the other hand, the expression of the β‐lactam‐hydrolyzing enzyme (β‐lactamase), the major cause of bacterial resistance to β‐lactam antibiotics, provides a distinctive opportunity to visualize bacterial infection, evaluate the efficacy of existing antibiotics, screen for novel antibacterial agents, and optimize drug dosing regimens in live animals. …”

Self-Administered Information Sharing Framework Using Bioinspired Mechanisms by Huibo Bi, Yanyan Chen, Wen-Long Shang, Chengcheng Song, Wenbo Huang

“…Hence, this paper concentrates on optimising the behaviours of data packets and significant parameters in a widely tested routing protocol, namely, Cognitive Packet Network (CPN), with the aid of several bio-inspired algorithms to increase the efficiency of energy usage and information acquisition. Two novel packet behaviours are introduced, and an on-line parameter calibration scheme is proposed to realise packet time-to-live (TTL) adjustment and rate adaptation. …”
