Antibiotic resistance is a global human health threat, causing routine treatments of bacterial
infections to become increasingly difficult. The problem is exacerbated by biofilm formation …

Biointerfaces mediate safe and efficient cell manipulation, which is essential for biomedical
innovations in advanced therapies and diagnostics. The biointerface established by vertical …

Water disinfection is conventionally achieved by oxidation or irradiation, which is often
associated with a high carbon footprint and the formation of toxic byproducts. Here, we …

The discovery of antibiotics has saved millions of lives, but the emergence of antibiotic‐
resistant bacteria has become another problem in modern medicine. To avoid or reduce the …

Materials patterned with high‐aspect‐ratio nanostructures have features on similar length
scales to cellular components. These surfaces are an extreme topography on the cellular …

Abstract Treatment of implant-associated infection is becoming more challenging, especially
when bacterial biofilms form on the surface of the implants. Developing multi-mechanism …

Antibiotics, a power tool to combat pathogenic bacterial infection, have experienced their
inability to kill drug-resistant bacteria due to the development of antibiotic resistance. As an …

Antimicrobial resistance is directly responsible for more deaths per year than either
HIV/AIDS or malaria and is predicted to incur a cumulative societal financial burden of at …

Nearly a century has passed since the discovery of the first antibiotics. With each passing
decade, more bacterial strains developed resistance towards existing antibiotics. Alternative …

Microbial resistance to current antibiotics therapies is a major cause of implant failure and
adverse clinical outcomes in orthopaedic surgery. Recent developments in advanced …
