Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive cardiac occluders have limitations such as poor healing, inflammation, and blood clot formation.
- A new coating made from polyphenols and peptides was developed to improve these aspects on the occluders, using materials like chitosan and a specific peptide.
- This coating showed promising results in reducing blood clots, aiding heart tissue repair, and regulating cellular functions, primarily through specific signaling pathways.
Contamination of infant formula with Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) can cause fatal infections in neonates. Phages have emerged as promising antibacterial agents for food safety, but their effectiveness may be limited by thermal processing.

The authors consider that the purpose of the quantification for clay structure is to determine some parameters that can be used to quantitatively characterize the impact of clay structure on the macro-mechanical behaviour.
Methods: According to the system theory and the law of energy conservation, a quantification model for the structure characteristics of clay materials is established and three quantitative parameters (i.
