Implanted medical devices often elicit adverse foreign body responses whereby macrophages
play a central role. Here, we identify simple polymers that instruct different immunological …

Innovative approaches to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are
urgently required. Here, we describe the discovery of an acrylate copolymer capable of …

More than 70 % of the primary energy consumed world-wide is wasted, mostly as heat below
100 C[1]. Thermoelectric generators may convert a substantial amount of this energy into …

Fungi have major, negative socioeconomic impacts, but control with bioactive agents is
increasingly restricted, while resistance is growing. Here, we describe an alternative fungal …

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are widely represented in regenerative medicine
clinical strategies due to their compatibility with autologous implantation. Effective bone …

Biological structures control cell behavior via physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical
cues. Approaches that allow us to build devices that mimic these cues in a combinatorial …

The rising occurrence of antimicrobial resistance demands new strategies for delivering
antibiotics to ensure their effective use. In this study, a multi-functional strategy to address …

Surface-functionalized microparticles are relevant to fields spanning engineering and
biomedicine, with uses ranging from cell culture to advanced cell delivery. Varying topographies of …

Esters of proteinogenic amino acids efficiently catalyse the formation of erythrose and
threose under aqueous conditions in the highest yields and enantioselectivities yet reported. …

Esters of proteinogenic amino acids efficiently catalyse the formation of erythrose and threose
under potentially prebiotic conditions in the highest yields and enantioselectivities yet …
