Bone defects combined with tumors, infections, or other bone diseases are challenging in
clinical practice. Autologous and allogeneic grafts are two main traditional remedies, but …

Thanks to rapid development of nanotechnology, studies have discovered an emerging
polymer nanomaterial—polydopamine (PDA) inspired by natural mussels. PDA possesses …

Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a major threat for implant failure in orthopedics. Herein,
we report a dual-functional coating on Ti implants (named Ti/PDA/BP) with the integration of …

Polysaccharide hydrogels are widely used in tissue engineering because of their superior
biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. However, many of these hydrogels are unrealistic …

Antibiotics, which are crucial to treat or prevent bacterial infections, are compounds used to
kill or slow down the growth of bacteria. In recent years, antibiotic resistance has grown into …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) combined with chemotherapy, a promising strategy for breast
cancer treatment, has a high potential to control drug release, reduce multidrug resistance …

Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death depending on elevated iron (Fe2+) and
lipid peroxidation levels. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has been shown to be …

Diabetic wound healing has become a serious healthcare challenge. The high-glucose
environment leads to persistent bacterial infection and mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting …

Polydopamine (PDA) has shown great potentials in biomedical fields due largely to its
unique physicochemical properties, including high photothermal transfer efficiency …

Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a well-known biomaterial, has witnessed a remarkable
evolution over the years, transforming from a simple biocompatible substance to an …
