DOI: 10.1002/adma.202208824
Abstract: Implantable medical devices have been widely applied in diagnostics, therapeutics, organ restoration, and other biomedical areas, but often suffer from dysfunction and infections due to irreversible biofouling. Inspired by the self‐defensive “vine‐thorn” structure of climbing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules27217546
Abstract: An assemblage nexus of microorganisms enclosed in a composite extracellular polymeric matrix is called as a biofilm. The main factor causing biological fouling, or biofouling, is biofilms. Biofilm-mediated biofouling is a significant detrimental issue in… read more here.
