Abstract: A large population of patients is reported to suffer from urinary bladder-associated irreversible physiological disorders, rationalizing a continuous surge for structural and functional substitutes of urinary tissues, including ureters, bladder-wall, and urethra. The current gold… read more here.

DOI: 10.1166/jbn.2022.3236
Abstract: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a serious threat to human's health. Recently, photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) has emerged as promising strategies against antibiotics-resistant pathogens due to their broad antibacterial spectrum and negligible resistance. In this… read more here.
