The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and adverse effects of systemic treatments calls for urgent reevaluation of current methods that rely on excessive, uncontrolled drug administration. In recent years triggerable systems have emerged as promising alternatives, enabling time-controlled and localized drug release, which are only activated if necessary. Light is an obvious candidate as an external trigger, since it allows for localized activation, is non-invasive and its wavelength and intensity can be tailored to fit the demands of the drug release system.

The pursuit of miniaturized Si electronics has revolutionized computing and communication. During recent years, the value addition in electronics has also been achieved through printing, flexible and stretchable electronics form factors, and integration over areas larger than wafer size. Unlike Si semiconductor manufacturing which takes months from tape-out to wafer production, printed electronics offers greater flexibility and fast-prototyping capabilities with lesser resources and waste generation.

The 2024 International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) Congress, held in Houston, Texas, brought together a dynamic, multidisciplinary community of global experts to explore and discuss cutting-edge innovations and unmet needs in liver transplantation. Key themes included liver machine perfusion and donation after circulatory death (DCD), reflecting the ongoing effort to expand the donor pool and improve transplantation outcomes. Machine perfusion technologies, including normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE), and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) have demonstrated great promise in optimizing graft quality, mitigating ischemia-reperfusion injury, and enhancing the use of marginal and DCD liver grafts.

Aim: Accumulated data suggest that routine use of defunctioning stoma in low anterior resection for rectal cancer may cause kidney injury, bowel dysfunction and a higher risk of permanent stomas. We aim to study whether avoidance of a diverting stoma in selected patients is safe and reduces adverse consequences.
Methods: SELSA is a multicentre international prospective observational study nesting an open-label randomized clinical trial.

The utilization of 2D materials as catalysts has garnered significant attention in recent years, primarily due to their exceptional features including high surface area, abundant exposed active sites, and tunable physicochemical properties. The unique geometry of 2D materials imparts them with versatile active sites for catalysis, including basal plane, interlayer, defect, and edge sites. Among these, edge sites hold particular significance as they not only enable the activation of inert 2D catalysts but also serve as platforms for engineering active sites to achieve enhanced catalytic performance.
