Injectable Tissue-Adhesive Hydrogel for Photothermal/Chemodynamic Synergistic Antibacterial and Wound Healing Promotion

Han Huang et al.

Summary: The development of hydrogel dressings with injectability, adhesion, antibacterial properties, and wound healing promotion is urgently needed. The design of multifunctional injectable hydrogels based on Ag-doped Mo2C-derived polyoxometalate (AgPOM) nanoparticles, urea, gelatin, and tea polyphenols (TPs) has been presented for antibacterial and wound healing acceleration. The hydrogel exhibits excellent tissue adhesion after injection due to the in situ formation triggered by recombination of TPs and gelatin chains. AgPOM in the hydrogel acts as an antimicrobial agent by generating singlet oxygen and sterilizing under near-infrared light. In vitro studies demonstrate high bactericidal ability against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and facilitate wound healing through synergistic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy. Therefore, the injectable hydrogel with AgPOM offers a novel therapeutic agent for drug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds and wound healing promotion.

Penetrating Macrophage-Based Nanoformulation for Periodontitis Treatment

Na Yan et al.

Summary: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the interaction of oral microorganisms with the host immune response. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) plays a key role in disrupting the immune system and promoting its own proliferation. In this study, a novel nanoformulation, MZ@PNM@GCP, was developed to target P.g. and effectively treat periodontitis. MZ@PNM@GCP directly killed P.g. by disrupting bacterial structure using cationic nanoparticles and by releasing the antibacterial drug metronidazole (MZ) inside the bacteria. Additionally, MZ@PNM@GCP prevented P.g. from binding to immune cells and neutralized complement component 5a (C5a), thus stopping the subversion of the host immune response. This nanoformulation showed potent efficacy in periodontitis treatment, restoring local immune function and killing pathogenic bacteria, while maintaining good biocompatibility.

Diagnosis of biofilm infections: current methods used, challenges and perspectives for the future

N. B. S. Silva et al.

Summary: Diagnosing biofilms remains challenging, with no standardized protocol in clinical practice. Mass spectrophotometry/matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) has shown promise, but omics analysis may be a more effective strategy for quicker and more specific identification of pathogens within biofilms. Further research is needed to develop a protocol that ensures rapid and successful biofilm identification.

Local and systemic mechanisms linking periodontal disease and inflammatory comorbidities

George Hajishengallis et al.

Summary: Periodontitis is causally linked to the development of other chronic inflammatory diseases outside the oral mucosa, and intervention studies have shown that local treatment of periodontitis can ameliorate surrogate markers of comorbid conditions. Experimental animal studies have further strengthened the potential causal link by establishing biologically plausible and clinically consistent mechanisms. Understanding the impact of disseminated periodontal pathogens and systemic inflammation associated with periodontitis on extra-oral pathologies may lead to new therapeutic options to reduce the risk of periodontitis-associated comorbidities.
