Hydrophilic nanoparticles that kill bacteria while sparing mammalian cells reveal the antibiotic role of nanostructures

Yunjiang Jiang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of nanoparticle-pinched polymer brushes (NPPBs) composed of chemically inert silica nanospheres covalently grafted with hydrophilic polymer brushes. The antimicrobial potency of NPPBs against bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains, depends critically on the size of the nanoparticles. Small nanoparticles enhance antimicrobial activity while large ones reduce it, with a threshold size identified for optimal membrane pore formation. Nanoengineering shows potential for developing nanoantibiotics that selectively kill bacteria while remaining nontoxic to mammalian cells.

Transfer Hydrogenation with a Carbon-Nitride-Supported Palladium Single-Atom Photocatalyst and Water as a Proton Source

En Zhao et al.

Summary: Solar-driven transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds using water as the hydrogen source is challenging due to the high barrier associated with splitting water molecules. In this study, a carbon-nitride-supported palladium single-atom heterogeneous catalyst was developed and showed unparalleled performance in photocatalytic water-donating transfer hydrogenation compared to its nanoparticle counterparts. The direct hydrogenation mechanism using in situ-generated protons from water splitting under visible-light irradiation was confirmed.

Biomimetic Bacteriophage-Like Particles Formed from Probiotic Extracts and NO Donors for Eradicating Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Caixin Gong et al.

Summary: This study focuses on clearing multidrug-resistant bacteria through nonantibiotic treatments. The researchers combined a thermally responsive donor of nitric oxide with food-grade Lactobacillus casei extracts to create biomimetic microparticles. These microparticles can disrupt bacterial metabolisms and cell membranes, leading to the death of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The researchers also found that these microparticles can weaken bacterial toxicity and promote cell proliferation. By encapsulating the microparticles into a polymer, a dual-mode antibacterial hydrogel was developed, which showed long-term sterilization and fast disinfection effects. Additionally, the hydrogel accelerated wound healing.
