Article Abstract
Dynamic tracking of spinal instrumentation could facilitate real-time evaluation of hardware integrity and in so doing alert patients/clinicians of potential failure(s). Critically, no method yet exists to continually monitor the integrity of spinal hardware and by proxy the process of spinal arthrodesis; as such hardware failures are often not appreciated until clinical symptoms manifest. Accordingly, herein, we report on the development and engineering of a bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA), a potential wearable solution for real-time, non-invasive positional analyses of osseous implants within the spine. The electromagnetic coupling mechanism and intimate interfacial adhesion enable the precise sensing of the metallic implants position without the use of radiation. The customized decoupling models developed facilitate the precise determination of the horizontal and vertical positions of the implants with incredible levels of accuracy (e.g., <0.5 mm). These data support the potential use of BioMDA in real-time/dynamic postoperative monitoring of spinal implants.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic autoimmune condition accompanied by lubrication dysfunction, inflammatory infiltration, and cartilage wear. Long-term improvements in joint lubrication, inflammation elimination, and worn cartilage repair are crucial for effective RA treatment. Herein, we present an injectable bioadhesive and lubricating hydrogel containing a dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (DA-HA) network, sulfonated hyaluronic acid (SO-HA) network, and kartogenin (KGN)-grafted dopamine-hybridized graphene quantum dot-supported Cu single-atom nanozyme (DAGQD@Cu@KGN SAN) designed to restore cartilage lubrication and repair worn cartilage in RA.

Nitrogen (N) conversion to ammonia (NH) in a mild condition is a big chemical challenge. The whole-cell diazotrophs based biological NH synthesis is one of the most promising strategies. Herein, the first attempt of photoelectrochemical-microbial (PEC-MB) biohybrid is contributed for artificial N fixation, where Azotobacter vinelandii (A.

Mimosa pudica (MP) is an ornamental plant due to seismonastic movements that close leaves and fall petioles in response to touch, wind, light, heat, cold, and vibration. The seeds of MP secrete smart, biocompatible, and non-toxic mucilage that has captivated researchers due to its widespread use in various fields such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. The mucilage is responsive to pH, salt solutions, and solvents and acts as a binder in tablet formulations for targeted drug delivery.
