TL;DR: By illuminating bismuth-doped bioglass with near-infrared light, the researchers have developed a new technique that can kill bone tumor cells and enable photoinduced hyperthermia and bioactivity, reducing the number of treatments required to repair bone tissue.

TL;DR: Investigation of their antibacterial mechanism shows that these three metal ions all show antibacterial property through a mechanism of damaging bacterial cell membranes by the generation of reactive oxygen species but surprisingly preserving the integrity of bacterial genomic DNA.

TL;DR: A new copper (Cu) containing natural polymeric scaffold with a full potential for repairing infected bone defects is developed and in vitro studies showed that the CMC/Alg/Cu scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility could enhance preosteoblastic cell adhesion by upregulating the expression level of adhesion-related genes.

TL;DR: By in vitro and in vivo studies, it is demonstrated that the Tam‐Bi2S3@mPS bear multiple desired features for cancer theranostics, including good biocompatibility and drug loading ability as well as precise and active tumor targeting and accumulation.

TL;DR: The combined PTT and PDT using the multifunctional Cu7.2S4 NPs could be a novel RA treatment modality with full potential, and inhibit inflamed synovial invasion, cartilage erosion, and expression of proinflammatory cytokines in vivo.
