Although homeostasis of the charged microenvironment plays an integral role in tissues, current research is externally invasive and unsuitable for clinical applications. In this study, functional materials with different surface potential differences are prepared by changing the spatial layout of Ta and Ag on the surface of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy (TC4).

Current antifungal drugs are limited by unfavorable therapeutic efficacy, significant hepatorenal toxicity, and the development of drug resistance. Herein, we designed the first generation of lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51)/heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) dual inhibitors on the basis of antifungal synergism.
