Article Synopsis
- - Gallium (Ga(III)) is emerging as a potential antibacterial agent with unique mechanisms, differing from traditional antibiotics by replacing iron in bacterial processes.
- - In a study, researchers used quantitative proteomics to analyze how Ga(NO) affects Pseudomonas aeruginosa, finding that Ga(III) inhibits bacterial growth by altering key metabolic pathways and reducing the expression of virulence-related proteins.
- - The findings highlight the importance of understanding bacterial metabolic responses to Ga(III), suggesting it could enhance treatment strategies against antibiotic-resistant infections.

The high mechanical strength and self-healing properties of hydrogels are the focus of tissue engineering and biomedical research. Furthermore, the incompatibility between hydrogel toughness and self-healing has not been resolved. It is noteworthy that the double network (DN) hydrogels show great promise as a viable method for producing self-healing hydrogels with the above properties.

Apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1) is a major component of the apoptotic complex, which is a key element of the mitochondrial endogenous apoptotic pathway [13]. To further clarify the mechanism of Heshouwuyin in the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, this study used Apaf-1 as a target to explore the mechanism by which Heshouwuyin inhibits the Apaf-1 pathway of spermatogenic cell apoptosis.
