A novel bilayer coating system for autonomous corrosion-triggered self-healing is demonstrated. The storage of the encapsulated monomer and the catalyst is separated in two different layers. The encapsulated catalyst is stored inside a metallic coating, which ensures its activity even for an extended exposure time. The release from the capsules is triggered by corrosion and the correlated pH increase.

Dental implant therapy, established as standard-of-care nearly three decades ago with the advent of microrough titanium surfaces, revolutionized clinical outcomes through enhanced osseointegration. However, despite this pivotal advancement, challenges persist, including prolonged healing times, restricted clinical indications, plateauing success rates, and a notable incidence of peri-implantitis. This review explores the biological merits and constraints of microrough surfaces and evaluates the current landscape of nanofeatured dental implant surfaces, aiming to illuminate strategies for addressing existing impediments in implant therapy.

The urgent need for innovative materials that effectively eliminate bacteria while promoting cell growth to accelerate wound healing has led to the exploration of new options, as current antimicrobial nanoparticles often exhibit high cytotoxicity, which hinders wound closure. In this study, a nano-hybrid composite, named gold-silver-carbon quantum dots (AuAg-CDs), was prepared by embedding gold and silver nanoclusters into carbon dots. The AuAg-CDs nano-hybrid composite demonstrates remarkable biocompatibility, displays potent antibacterial activity, and possesses a unique capability to promote cell proliferation.

Neurotrophins (NTs), which are crucial for the functioning of the nervous system, are also known to regulate vascularization. Graphene-based materials may drive neural growth and differentiation, and, thus, have great potential in regenerative medicine. In this work, we scrutinized the nano-biointerface between the cell membrane and hybrids made of neurotrophin-mimicking peptides and graphene oxide (GO) assemblies (pep-GO), to exploit their potential in theranostics (i.

Purpose: A novel implant model consisting of meso-scale cactus-inspired spikes and nano-scale bone-inspired trabeculae was recently developed to optimize meso-scale roughness on zirconia. In this model, the meso-spike dimension had a significant impact on osteoblast function. To explore how different nano-textures impact this model, here we examined the effect of different nano-trabecula sizes on osteoblast function while maintaining the same meso-spike conformation.

There is a pressing clinical need for advanced colon-specific local drug delivery systems that can provide major advantages in treating diseases associated with the colon, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colon cancer. A precise colon targeted drug delivery platform is expected to reduce drug side effects and increase the therapeutic response at the intended disease site locally. In this study, we report the fabrication of hyaluronan (HA) functionalized polymeric hybrid nanoparticulate system (Cur-HA NPs) by using curcumin as a model fluorescent drug.
