In this study, researchers developed a silk fibroin-based hydrogel with added curcumin and pluronic F127, which displayed antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and showed potential for skin tissue regeneration, without cytotoxicity.

This study found that tannin effectively inhibits and degrades mono-species and polymicrobial biofilms, making it a potential candidate for antibiofilm treatments.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that tributyltin pollution induces imposex, reduces reproductive success, and leads to population decline in Ocinebrina aciculata, highlighting its sensitivity compared to other prosobranch species.

The researchers reported that carnosic acid and carnosol, extracts from rosemary leaves, specifically inhibit S. aureus virulence expression, suggesting potential topical treatments for atopic dermatitis flares.

In this study, researchers developed a wearable red and blue LED patch and a sprayable fibrin gel to treat infected wounds at home, demonstrating effective infection control and enhanced wound healing in diabetic mice and minipigs.

The authors describe drug repurposing as a promising strategy for finding new uses for existing drugs, noting it is efficient, cost-effective, and poses lower risks than traditional drug discovery processes, potentially aiding in the treatment of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

This review examines treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa in children and adolescents, highlights differences from adult care, and reports no original clinical findings.

This study documented the use of 41 plant species in the West Bank for treating hair and scalp disorders, highlighting their folkloric significance and potential for new cosmetic and cosmeceutical products.

This article reviews sebaceous immunobiology and highlights the complex role of sebaceous glands and sebocytes in skin barrier function and inflammation, particularly in acne pathogenesis, but reports no new results.

This study found that finasteride alone is highly effective in preventing Candida albicans urinary biofilms and shows synergistic activity with fluconazole in vitro, suggesting potential for further clinical investigation.

This report describes a study of estuarine bed-sediment quality in New Jersey and New York post-Hurricane Sandy, focusing on contamination extent and potential long-term impacts, with no new findings included.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This review discusses how faecal pollution contributes to antimicrobial resistance in surface water and highlights the need for standardized methods and better wastewater management but reports no new clinical results.

The document concludes that better understanding the wound microbiome can improve chronic wound care by preserving helpful bacteria and targeting harmful ones.

This review reported that tripeptides, such as GHK and KdPT, show promise in enhancing wound healing through multiple mechanisms, including promoting cell migration, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, while offering antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits for both acute and chronic wounds.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma can transiently inhibit bacterial growth in vitro against multidrug-resistant strains from diabetic foot infections, although its efficacy diminished over time and did not affect biofilm formation.

These plant extracts can kill some bacteria.

In this study, researchers explored the use of natural materials in scaffold construction for dental bone preservation, suggesting it could offer better biocompatibility and bone regeneration compared to traditional grafting methods.

This study found that the circular RNA circCOL1A1 influences the formation of superior-quality brush hair in white goats by regulating hair follicle stem cell behavior and interacting with the miR-149-5p/CMTM3/AR axis.
