Nowadays, the increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms
requires the search for alternative methods that do not cause drug resistance. Phototherapy …

Biomolecule-based nanostructures are inherently multifunctional and harbour diverse
biological activities, which can be explored for cancer nanomedicine. The supramolecular …

The detection of samples at ultralow concentrations (one to ten copies in 100 μl) in biofluids
is hampered by the orders-of-magnitude higher amounts of 'background'biomolecules. Here …

Oil fouling threatens the water flux stability of membranes for oil/water separation. Simple
hydrophilic modification fights for an opportunity to prevent oil contamination but fails to …

While nature has optimized its antifouling strategies over millions of years, synthetic
antifouling coatings have not yet reached technological maturity. For an antifouling coating …

Nature achieves differentiation of specific and nonspecific binding in molecular interactions
through precise control of biomolecules in space and time. Artificial systems such as …

Chitosan is a biopolymer obtained from chitin, one of the most abundant and renewable
materials on Earth. Chitin is a primary component of cell walls in fungi, the exoskeletons of …

Biofilm eradication from medical implants is of fundamental importance, and the treatment of
biofilm‐associated pathogen infections on inaccessible biliary stents remains challenging …

This review discusses topics relevant to the development of antimicrobial nanocoatings and
nanoscale surface modifications for medical and dental applications. Nanomaterials have …

Nanoparticles from natural and anthropogenic sources are abundant in the environment,
thus human exposure to nanoparticles is inevitable. Due to this constant exposure, it is …
