Here we ask whether the BIS has adapted to protect us from pandemic risks or poisoning by modern toxic substances.

Bone defects caused by osteoporosis, infection, diabetes, post-tumor resection, and nonunion often cause severe pain and markedly increase morbidity and mortality, which remains a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The precise local treatments to these pathological complications is essential to avoid poor or failed bone repair. Hydrogel formulations serve as injectable innovative platforms that overcome microenvironmental obstacles and as delivery systems for controlled release of various bioactive substances to bone defects in a targeted manner.

Marine biofouling remains a big problem of uranium (U(VI)) extraction from seawater. To better utilize sunlight in future, the anti-biofouling properties of typical light sources were evaluated, and ultraviolet (UV) light shows best anti-biofouling capability among studied lights. UV light can damage the cellular structure and intercept the proliferation of marine microorganisms (such as V.
