Microneedles With the increasing global demand for food and the unprecedented pressure on agricultural systems due to environmental challenges, understanding the role of ions (i.e., key nutrients) in crop productivity has become more important than ever.Unfortunately, current tools for plant ion analysis rely on destructive sap collection, which cannot capture the dynamic changes in ion … Read more
The projection photopolymerization 3D printing technology features high manufacturing precision, fast forming speed, and the ability for mass production, making it particularly advantageous in manufacturing high-precision structures. The microneedles, microspheres, and microfluidic chips manufactured using projection photopolymerization technology have significant application prospects in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. To help everyone understand the … Read more
Infectious wound healing faces multiple clinical challenges such as bacterial clearance, tissue regeneration, and drug release control. Traditional therapies have significant limitations in addressing these complex issues.Recently, inspired by the hierarchical structure of crocodile teeth,Huanjun Li‘s team at Beijing Institute of Technology developed a3Dprinted photothermal responsiveMXene-based multifunctional eutectogel microneedle system (MF-MXene@MN), providing an innovative solution … Read more
Bacterial infections pose a significant threat to global public health, causing approximately one million deaths each year. Currently, antibiotic treatment remains the core strategy for managing bacterial infections. However, the long-term use of antibiotics exacerbates the development of bacterial resistance, even leading to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains. Therefore, the development of alternative antibacterial … Read more
