Abstract
Inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, periodontitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and celiac disease, disrupt the delicate balance between bone resorption and formation, leading to inflammatory bone loss. Conventional approaches to tackle this issue encompass pharmaceutical interventions and surgical procedures. Nevertheless, pharmaceutical interventions exhibit limited efficacy, while surgical treatments impose trauma and significant financial burden upon patients. Biomaterials show outstanding spatiotemporal controllability, possess a remarkable specific surface area, and demonstrate exceptional reactivity. In the present era, the advancement of emerging biomaterials has bestowed upon more efficacious solutions for combatting the detrimental consequences of inflammatory bone loss. In this review, the advances of biomaterials for ameliorating inflammatory bone loss are listed. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of various biomaterials-mediated strategies are summarized. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of biomaterials are analyzed. This review aims to provide new possibilities for developing more advanced biomaterials toward inflammatory bone loss.

Abstract
The discovery of antibiotics has saved millions of lives, but the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become another problem in modern medicine. To avoid or reduce the overuse of antibiotics in antibacterial treatments, stimuli-responsive materials, pathogen-targeting nanoparticles, immunogenic nano-toxoids, and biomimetic materials are being developed to make sterilization better and smarter than conventional therapies. The common goal of smart antibacterial materials (SAMs) is to increase the antibiotic efficacy or function via an antibacterial mechanism different from that of antibiotics in order to increase the antibacterial and biological properties while reducing the risk of drug resistance. The research and development of SAMs are increasingly interdisciplinary because new designs require the knowledge of different fields and input/collaboration from scientists in different fields. A good understanding of energy conversion in materials, physiological characteristics in cells and bacteria, and bactericidal structures and components in nature are expected to promote the development of SAMs. In this review, the importance of multidisciplinary insights for SAMs is emphasized, and the latest advances in SAMs are categorized and discussed according to the pertinent disciplines including materials science, physiology, and biomimicry.

Impact of multiscale surface topography characteristics on Candida albicans biofilm formation: From cell repellence to fungicidal activity. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:20-36. [PMID: 38342192 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
While there has been significant research conducted on bacterial colonization on implant materials, with a focus on developing surface modifications to prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms, the study of Candida albicans biofilms on implantable materials is still in its infancy, despite its growing relevance in implant-associated infections. C. albicans fungal infections represent a significant clinical concern due to their severity and associated high fatality rate. Pathogenic yeasts account for an increasing proportion of implant-associated infections, since Candida spp. readily form biofilms on medical and dental device surfaces. In addition, these biofilms are highly antifungal-resistant, making it crucial to explore alternative solutions for the prevention of Candida implant-associated infections. One promising approach is to modify the surface properties of the implant, such as the wettability and topography of these substrata, to prevent the initial Candida attachment to the surface. This review summarizes recent research on the effects of surface wettability, roughness, and architecture on Candida spp. attachment to implantable materials. The nanofabrication of material surfaces are highlighted as a potential method for the prevention of Candida spp. attachment and biofilm formation on medical implant materials. Understanding the mechanisms by which Candida spp. attach to surfaces will allow such surfaces to be designed such that the incidence and severity of Candida infections in patients can be significantly reduced. Most importantly, this approach could also substantially reduce the need to use antifungals for the prevention and treatment of these infections, thereby playing a crucial role in minimizing the possibility contributing to instances of antimicrobial resistance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this review we provide a systematic analysis of the role that surface characteristics, such as wettability, roughness, topography and architecture, play on the extent of C. albicans cells attachment that will occur on biomaterial surfaces. We show that exploiting bioinspired surfaces could significantly contribute to the prevention of antimicrobial resistance to antifungal and chemical-based preventive measures. By reducing the attachment and growth of C. albicans cells using surface structure approaches, we can decrease the need for antifungals, which are conventionally used to treat such infections.

Abstract
In this work, a water-soluble (hydrophilic) polymer was used to form a hydrophobic coating on silicon substrates (Si) in a two-step process comprising (i) the transformation of the polymer into an insoluble material and (ii) the structuring of this coating at nanometric and micrometric scales to achieve the desired hydrophobic behavior. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), a water-soluble commodity polymer, was crosslinked using benzophenone and UV irradiation to produce a water-insoluble PVP coating. The nanometric scale roughness of the coating was achieved by the addition of silica nanoparticles (NPs) in the coating. The micrometric scale roughness was achieved by forming vertical pillars of PVP/NP coating. To prepare these pillars, a perforated polystyrene (PS) template was filled with a PVP/NP suspension. Micrometer scale vertical pillars of PVP/silica NPs were produced by this method, which allowed us to tune the wettability of the surface, by combining the micrometric scale roughness of the pillars to the nanometric scale roughness provided by the nanoparticles at the surface. By adjusting the various experimental parameters, a hydrophobic PVP coating was prepared with a water contact angle of 110°, resulting in an improvement of more than 80% compared to the bare flat film with an equal amount of nanoparticles. This study paves the way for the development of a more simplified experimental approach, relying on a blend of polymers containing PVP and NPs, to form the micro/nano-structured PVP pillars directly after the deposition step and the selective etching of the sacrificial major phase.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for a wide range of biomedical applications, including as antimicrobial agents, drug delivery vehicles, and diagnostic devices. The commonality between these biomedical applications is the necessity for the nanoparticle to interact with or pass through the cellular wall and membrane. Cell-nanomaterial interactions/uptake can occur in various ways, including adhering to the cell wall, forming aggregates on the surface, becoming absorbed within the cell wall itself, or transversing into the cell cytoplasm. These interactions are common to mammalian cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. This variety of interactions can cause changes to the integrity of the cell wall and the cell overall, but the precise mechanisms underpinning such interactions remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the interaction between commonly investigated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and the cell wall/membrane of a model fungal cell to explore the general effects of interaction and uptake. EXPERIMENTS The interactions between 100 nm citrate-capped AuNPs and the cell wall of Candida albicans fungal cells were studied using a range of advanced microscopy techniques, including atomic force microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and synchrotron-FTIR micro-spectroscopy. FINDINGS In most cases, particles adhered on the cell surface, although instances of particles being up-taken into the cell cytoplasm and localised within the cell wall and membrane were also observed. There was a measurable increase in the stiffness of the fungal cell after AuNPs were introduced. Analysis of the synchrotron-FTIR data showed significant changes in spectral features associated with phospholipids and proteins after exposure to AuNPs.

Abstract
Naturally occurring and synthetic nanostructured surfaces have been widely reported to resist microbial colonization. The majority of these studies have shown that both bacterial and fungal cells are killed upon contact and subsequent surface adhesion to such surfaces. This occurs because the presence of high-aspect-ratio structures can initiate a self-driven mechanical rupture of microbial cells during the surface adsorption process. While this technology has received a large amount of scientific and medical interest, one important question still remains: what factors drive microbial death on the surface? In this work, the interplay between microbial-surface adhesion, cell elasticity, cell membrane rupture forces, and cell lysis at the microbial-nanostructure biointerface during adsorptive processes was assessed using a combination of live confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, in situ amplitude atomic force microscopy, and single-cell force spectroscopy. Specifically, the adsorptive behavior and nanomechanical properties of live Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacterial cells, as well as the fungal species Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans, were assessed on unmodified and nanostructured titanium surfaces. Unmodified titanium and titanium surfaces with nanostructures were used as model substrates for investigation. For all microbial species, cell elasticity, rupture force, maximum cell-surface adhesion force, the work of adhesion, and the cell-surface tether behavior were compared to the relative cell death observed for each surface examined. For cells with a lower elastic modulus, lower force to rupture through the cell, and higher work of adhesion, the surfaces had a higher antimicrobial activity, supporting the proposed biocidal mode of action for nanostructured surfaces. This study provides direct quantification of the differences observed in the efficacy of nanostructured antimicrobial surface as a function of microbial species indicating that a universal, antimicrobial surface architecture may be hard to achieve.

Abstract
Biofilm formation is a multistep process that requires initial contact between a bacterial cell and a surface substrate. Recent work has shown that nanoscale topologies impact bacterial cell viability; however, less is understood about how nanoscale surface properties impact other aspects of bacterial behavior. In this study, we examine the adhesive, viability, morphology, and colonization behavior of the bacterium Escherichia coli on 21 plasma-etched polymeric surfaces. Although we predicted that specific nanoscale surface structures of the surface would control specific aspects of bacterial behavior, we observed no correlation between any bacterial response or surface structures/properties. Instead, it appears that the surface composition of the polymer plays the most significant role in controlling and determining a bacterial response to a substrate, although changes to a polymeric surface via plasma etching alter initial bacteria colonization and morphology.

Abstract
In recent years, antibacterial coatings have become an important approach in the global fight against bacterial pathogens. Developments in materials science, chemistry, and biochemistry have led to a plethora of materials and chemical compounds that have the potential to create antibacterial coatings. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the analysis of the techniques and technologies used to apply these coatings. Among the various inorganic coating techniques, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is worthy of note. It enables the successful synthesis of high-purity inorganic nanocoatings on surfaces of complex shape and topography, while also providing precise control over their thickness and composition. ALD has various industrial applications, but its practical application in medicine is still limited. In recent years, a considerable number of papers have been published on the proposed use of thin films and coatings produced via ALD in medicine, notably those with antibacterial properties. The aim of this paper is to carefully evaluate and analyze the relevant literature on this topic. Simple oxide coatings, including TiO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, MgO, and ZrO2, were examined, as well as coatings containing metal nanoparticles such as Ag, Cu, Pt, and Au, and mixed systems such as TiO2-ZnO, TiO2-ZrO2, ZnO-Al2O3, TiO2-Ag, and ZnO-Ag. Through comparative analysis, we have been able to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of various antibacterial coatings of different compositions, including key characteristics such as thickness, morphology, and crystal structure. The use of ALD in the development of antibacterial coatings for various applications was analyzed. Furthermore, assumptions were made about the most promising areas of development. The final section provides a comparison of different coatings, as well as the advantages, disadvantages, and prospects of using ALD for the industrial production of antibacterial coatings.

Abstract
Biomimetic materials are able to mimic the structure and functional properties of native tissues especially natural oral tissues. They have attracted growing attention for their potential to achieve configurable and functional reconstruction in oral medicine. Though tremendous progress has been made regarding biomimetic materials, significant challenges still remain in terms of controversy on the mechanism of tooth tissue regeneration, lack of options for manufacturing such materials and insufficiency of in vivo experimental tests in related fields. In this review, the biomimetic materials used in oral medicine are summarized systematically, including tooth defect, tooth loss, periodontal diseases and maxillofacial bone defect. Various theoretical foundations of biomimetic materials research are reviewed, introducing the current and pertinent results. The benefits and limitations of these materials are summed up at the same time. Finally, challenges and potential of this field are discussed. This review provides the framework and support for further research in addition to giving a generally novel and fundamental basis for the utilization of biomimetic materials in the future.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus forms biofilms that cause considerable morbidity and mortality in patients who receive implanted devices such as prosthetics or fixator pins. An ideal surface for such medical devices would inhibit biofilm growth. Recently, it was reported that surface modification of stainless steel materials with carbon-infiltrated carbon nanotubes (CICNT) inhibits the growth of S. aureus biofilms. The purpose of this study was to investigate this antimicrobial effect on titanium materials with CICNT coated surfaces in a variety of surface morphologies and across a broader spectrum of S. aureus isolates. Study samples of CICNT-coated titanium, and control samples of bare titanium, a common implant material, were exposed to S. aureus. Viable bacteria were removed from adhered biofilms and quantified as colony forming units. Scanning electron microscopy was used to qualitatively analyze biofilms both before and after removal of cells. The CICNT surface was found to have significantly fewer adherent bacteria than bare titanium control surfaces, both via colony forming unit and microscopic analyses. This effect was most pronounced on CICNT surfaces with an average nanotube diameter of 150 nm, showing a 2.5-fold reduction in adherent bacteria. Since S. aureus forms different biofilm structures by isolate and by growth conditions, we tested 7 total isolates and found a significant reduction in the biofilm load in six out of seven S. aureus isolates tested. To examine whether the anti-biofilm effect was due to the structure of the nanotubes, we generated an unstructured carbon surface. Significantly more bacteria adhered to a nonstructured carbon surface than to the 150 nm CICNT surface, suggesting that the topography of the nanotube structure itself has anti-biofilm properties. The CICNT surface possesses anti-biofilm properties that result in fewer adherent S. aureus bacteria. These anti-biofilm properties are consistent across multiple isolates of S. aureus and are affected by nanotube diameter. The experiments performed in this study suggest that this effect is due to the nanostructure of the CICNT surface.

Abstract
The design of functional micro or nanostructured surfaces is undergoing extensive research for their intriguing multifunctional properties and for large variety of potential applications in biomedical field (tissue engineering or cell adhesion), electronics, optics or microfluidics. Such nanosized topographies can be easily fabricated by various lithography techniques and can be also further reinforced by synergic effect by combining aforementioned structures along materials with already outstanding antibacterial properties. In this work we fabricated novel micro/nanostructured substrates using soft lithography replication method and subsequent thermal nanoimprint lithography method, creating nanostructured films based on poly (l-lactic acid) (PLLA) fortified by thin silver films deposited by PVD. Main nanoscale patterns were fabricated by replicating surface patterns of optical discs (CDs and DVDs), which proved to be easy, fast and inexpensive method for creating relatively large area patterned surfaces. Their antimicrobial activity was examined in vitro against the bacteria Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. The results demonstrated that nanopatterned films actually improved the conditions for bacterial growth compared to pristine PLLA films, the novelty is based on formation of Ag nanoparticles on the surface/and in bulk, while silver nanoparticle enhanced and nanopatterned films exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against both bacterial strains, with circa 80 % efficacy in 4 h and complete bactericidal effect in span of 24 h.

Abstract
Bioinspired nanotopography artificially fabricated on titanium surfaces offers a solution for the rising issue of postoperative infections within orthopedics. On a small scale, hydrothermal etching has proven to deliver an effective antimicrobial nanospike surface. However, translation to an industrial setting is limited by the elevated synthesis temperature (150 °C) and associated equipment requirements. Here, for the first time, we fabricate surface nanostructures using comparatively milder synthesis temperatures (75 °C), which deliver physicochemical properties and antimicrobial capability comparable to the high-temperature surface. Using a KOH etchant, the simultaneous formation of titania and titanate crystals at both temperatures produces a one-dimensional nanostructure array. Analysis indicated that the formation mechanism comprises dissolution and reprecipitation processes, identifying the deposited titanates as hydrated layered tetra-titanates (K2Ti4O9·nH2O). A proposed nanospike formation mechanism was confirmed through the identification of a core and outer shell for individual nanostructures, primarily comprised of titanates and titania, respectively. Etching conditions dictated crystalline formation, favoring a thicker titanate core for nanorods under higher synthesis temperatures and etchant concentrations. A bactericidal investigation showed the efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria for a representative low-temperature nanosurface (34.4 ± 14.4%) was comparable to the higher temperature nanosurface (34.0 ± 17.0%), illustrating the potential of low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis. Our results provide valuable insight into the applicability of low-temperature etching protocols that are more favorable in large-scale manufacturing settings.

Abstract
The increasing number of peri-implant diseases and the unsatisfactory results of conventional treatment are causing great concern to patients and medical staff. The effective removal of plaque which is one of the key causes of peri-implant disease from the surface of implants has become one of the main problems to be solved urgently in the field of peri-implant disease prevention and treatment. In recent years, with the advancement of materials science and pharmacology, a lot of research has been conducted to enhance the implant antimicrobial properties, including the addition of antimicrobial coatings on the implant surface, the adjustment of implant surface topography, and the development of new implant materials, and significant progress has been made in various aspects. Antimicrobial materials have shown promising applications in the prevention of peri-implant diseases, but meanwhile, there are some shortcomings, which leads to the lack of clinical widespread use of antimicrobial materials. This paper summarizes the research on antimicrobial materials applied to implants in recent years and presents an outlook on the future development.

Abstract
Dental caries, periodontal disease, and endodontic disease are major public health concerns worldwide due to their impact on individuals' quality of life. The present problem of dental disorders is the removal of the infection caused by numerous microbes, particularly, bacteria (both aerobes and anaerobes). The most effective method for treating and managing dental diseases appears to be the use of antibiotics or other antimicrobials, which are incorporated in some drug delivery systems. However, due to their insufficient bioavailability, poor availability for gastrointestinal absorption, and pharmacokinetics after administration via the oral route, many pharmaceutical medicines or natural bioactive substances have limited efficacy. During past few decades, a range of polysaccharide-based systems have been widely investigated for dental dug delivery. The polysaccharide-based carrier materials made of chitosan, alginate, dextran, cellulose and other polysaccharides have recently been spotlighted on the recent advancements in preventing, treating and managing dental diseases. The objective of the current review article is to present a brief comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in polysaccharide-based dental drug delivery systems for the delivery of different antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
By roughly mimicking the surface architectural design of dragonfly wings, novel bi-phasic 3D nanoflowers of MgO/Mg(OH)2 were successfully synthesized via the electrospinning technique. The 3D nanoflowers were coated over a commercial melamine sponge and extensively characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, and EDS. The formation of distinct dense 3D nano petals was revealed by SEM images whereby the mean petal thickness and mean distance between the adjacent petals were found to be 36 nm and 121 nm, respectively. The bactericidal activities of synthesized 3D nano-flowers coated melamine sponges were assessed against five different bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). This study demonstrated significant bactericidal activity of MgO/Mg(OH)2 3D nanoflowers coated MS against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Plausible bactericidal mechanisms include envelope deformation, penetration, and induction of oxidative stress. This study introduces novel bioinspired biomaterial with the capacity to reduce the risk associated with pathogenic bacterial infections, especially in medical devices.

Abstract
In this study, we produced bioinspired micro/nanotopography on the surface of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) films and demonstrated that these films display antibacterial properties. In the first step, structures that are found on the surface of a rose petal were copied on the surface of PVDF-HFP films. Following this, a hydrothermal method was used to grow ZnO nanostructures on top of this rose petal mimetic surface. The antibacterial behavior of the fabricated sample was demonstrated against Gram-positive Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) as model bacteria. For comparison purposes, the antibacterial behavior of a neat PVDF-HFP film was also investigated against both bacterial species. The results show that the presence of rose petal mimetic structures on PVDF-HFP helped the material to display improved antibacterial performance against both S. agalactiae and E. coli compared to the antibacterial performance of neat PVDF-HFP. The antibacterial performance was further enhanced for samples that had both rose petal mimetic topography and ZnO nanostructures on the surface.

Abstract
Desirable antibacterial and osseointegration abilities are essentially important for long-term survival of a Ti-orthopedic implant. Herein, a near-infrared light (NIR) excited antibacterial platform with excellent osseointegration composed of perovskite calcium titanate/nickel hydroxide on a Ti implant (Ni(OH)2@CaTiO3/Ti) was designed and successfully fabricated. The construction of the heterostructure efficiently separated the photogenerated electron-hole pairs to produce sufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS), which enabled the photoactivated bacterial inactivation (PBI) of Ti implants. The results showed that the surface-modified Ti implant displayed remarkable antibacterial ability with bacterial inhibition rates of 95.5% for E. coli and 93.8% for S. aureus under NIR excitation. Also, the intervention of Ni(OH)2 could create a slightly alkaline surface on the Ti implant, which synchronized with Ca-rich CaTiO3 to regulate the osteogenic microenvironment in favor of the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells as well as the up-regulation of osteogenesis-related gene expressions. The in vivo implantation experiments further confirmed that the heterostructured coating prominently accelerated the formation of new bone and promoted the osseointegration of Ti implants. Our work may provide a novel concept for improving the antibacterial and osseointegration abilities of Ti implants in orthopedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Antiviral coatings that inactivate a broad spectrum of viruses are important in combating the evolution and emergence of viruses. In this study, nano-columnar Cu thin films have been proposed, inspired by cicada wings (which exhibit mechano-bactericidal activity). Nano-columnar thin films of Cu and its oxides were fabricated by the sputtering method, and their antiviral activities were evaluated against envelope-type bacteriophage Φ6 and non-envelope-type bacteriophage Qβ. Among all of the fabricated films, Cu thin films showed the highest antiviral activity. The infectious activity of the bacteriophages was reduced by 5 orders of magnitude within 30 min by the Cu thin films, by 3 orders of magnitude by the Cu2O thin films, and by less than 1 order of magnitude by the CuO thin films. After exposure to ambient air for 1 month, the antiviral activity of the Cu2O thin film decreased by 1 order of magnitude; the Cu thin films consistently maintained a higher antiviral activity than the Cu2O thin films. Subsequently, the surface oxidation states of the thin films were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; Cu thin films exhibited slower oxidation to the CuO than Cu2O thin films. This oxidation resistance could be a characteristic property of nanostructured Cu fabricated by the sputtering method. Finally, the antiviral activity of the nano-columnar Cu thin films against infectious viruses in humans was demonstrated by the binding inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor within 10 min.

Abstract
Hydrogels exhibit excellent moldability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and extracellular matrix-like properties, which make them widely used in biomedical fields. Because of their unique three-dimensional crosslinked hydrophilic networks, hydrogels can encapsulate various materials, such as small molecules, polymers, and particles; this has become a hot research topic in the antibacterial field. The surface modification of biomaterials by using antibacterial hydrogels as coatings contributes to the biomaterial activity and offers wide prospects for development. A variety of surface chemical strategies have been developed to bind hydrogels to the substrate surface stably. We first introduce the preparation method for antibacterial coatings in this review, which includes surface-initiated graft crosslinking polymerization, anchoring the hydrogel coating to the substrate surface, and the LbL self-assembly technique to coat crosslinked hydrogels. Then, we summarize the applications of hydrogel coating in the biomedical antibacterial field. Hydrogel itself has certain antibacterial properties, but the antibacterial effect is not sufficient. In recent research, in order to optimize its antibacterial performance, the following three antibacterial strategies are mainly adopted: bacterial repellent and inhibition, contact surface killing of bacteria, and release of antibacterial agents. We systematically introduce the antibacterial mechanism of each strategy. The review aims to provide reference for the further development and application of hydrogel coatings.

Abstract
Bacterial fouling is a persistent problem causing the deterioration and failure of functional surfaces for industrial equipment/components; numerous human, animal, and plant infections/diseases; and energy waste due to the inefficiencies at internal and external geometries of transport systems. This work gains new insights into the effect of surface roughness on bacterial fouling by systematically studying bacterial adhesion on model hydrophobic (methyl-terminated) surfaces with roughness scales spanning from ∼2 nm to ∼390 nm. Additionally, a surface energy integration framework is developed to elucidate the role of surface roughness on the energetics of bacteria and substrate interactions. For a given bacteria type and surface chemistry; the extent of bacterial fouling was found to demonstrate up to a 75-fold variation with surface roughness. For the cases showing hydrophobic wetting behavior, both increased effective surface area with increasing roughness and decreased activation energy with increased surface roughness was concluded to enhance the extent of bacterial adhesion. For the cases of superhydrophobic surfaces, the combination of factors including (i) the surpassing of Laplace pressure force of interstitial air over bacterial adhesive force, (ii) the reduced effective substrate area for bacteria wall due to air gaps to have direct/solid contact, and (iii) the reduction of attractive van der Waals force that holds adhering bacteria on the substrate were summarized to weaken the bacterial adhesion. Overall, this study is significant in the context of designing antifouling coatings and systems as well as explaining variations in bacterial contamination and biofilm formation processes on functional surfaces.

Enhanced and Stem-Cell-Compatible Effects of Nature-Inspired Antimicrobial Nanotopography and Antimicrobial Peptides to Combat Implant-Associated Infection.

Abstract
Nature-inspired antimicrobial surfaces and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising strategies to combat implant-associated infections. In this study, a bioinspired antimicrobial peptide was functionalized onto a nanospike (NS) surface by physical adsorption with the aim that its gradual release into the local environment would enhance inhibition of bacterial growth. Peptide adsorbed on a control flat surface exhibited different release kinetics compared to the nanotopography, but both surfaces showed excellent antibacterial properties. Functionalization with peptide at micromolar concentrations inhibited Escherichia coli growth on the flat surface, Staphylococcus aureus growth on the NS surface, and Staphylococcus epidermidis growth on both the flat and NS surfaces. Based on these data, we propose an enhanced antibacterial mechanism whereby AMPs can render bacterial cell membranes more susceptible to nanospikes, and the membrane deformation induced by nanospikes can increase the surface area for AMPs membrane insertion. Combined, these effects enhance bactericidal activity. Since functionalized nanostructures are highly biocompatible with stem cells, they make promising candidates for next generation antibacterial implant surfaces.

Abstract
Insects and plants exhibit bactericidal properties through surface nanostructures, such as nanospikes, which physically kill bacteria without antibiotics or chemicals. This is a promising new avenue for achieving antibacterial surfaces. However, the existing methods for fabricating nanospikes are incapable of producing uniform nanostructures on a large scale and in a cost-effective manner. In this paper, a scalable nanofabrication method involving the application of nanosphere lithography and reactive ion etching for constructing nanospike surfaces is demonstrated. Low-cost silicon nanospikes with uniform spacing that were sized similarly to biological nanospikes on cicada wings with a 4-inch wafer scale were fabricated. The spacing, tip radius, and base diameter of the silicon nanospikes were controlled precisely by adjusting the nanosphere diameters, etching conditions, and diameter reduction. The bactericidal properties of the silicon nanospikes with 300 nm spacing were measured quantitatively using the standard viability plate count method; they killed E. coli cells with 59 % efficiency within 30 h. The antibacterial ability of the nanospike surface was further indicated by the morphological differences between bacteria observed in the scanning electron microscopic images as well as the live/dead stains of fluorescence signals. The fabrication process combined the advantages of both top-down and bottom-up methods and was a significant step toward affordable bio-inspired antibacterial surfaces.

Abstract
Surface contamination by microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria may simultaneously aggravate the biofouling of surfaces and infection of wounds and promote cross-species transmission and the rapid evolution of microbes in emerging diseases. In addition, natural surface structures with unique anti-biofouling properties may be used as guide templates for the development of functional antimicrobial surfaces. Further, these structure-related antimicrobial surfaces can be categorized into microbicidal and anti-biofouling surfaces. This review introduces the recent advances in the development of microbicidal and anti-biofouling surfaces inspired by natural structures and discusses the related antimicrobial mechanisms, surface topography design, material application, manufacturing techniques, and antimicrobial efficiencies.

Abstract
Superhydrophobicity is a well-known wetting phenomenon found in numerous plants and insects. It is achieved by the combination of the surface's chemical properties and its surface roughness. Inspired by nature, numerous synthetic superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed for various applications. Designated surface coating is one of the fabrication routes to achieve the superhydrophobicity. Yet, many of these coatings, such as fluorine-based formulations, may pose severe health and environmental risks, limiting their applicability. Herein, we present a new family of superhydrophobic coatings comprised of natural saturated fatty acids, which are not only a part of our daily diet, but can be produced from renewable feedstock, providing a safe and sustainable alternative to the existing state-of-the-art. These crystalline coatings are readily fabricated via single-step deposition routes, namely thermal deposition or spray-coating. The fatty acids self-assemble into highly hierarchical crystalline structures exhibiting a water contact angle of ∼165° and contact angle hysteresis lower than 6°, while their properties and morphology depend on the specific fatty acid used as well as on the deposition technique. Moreover, the fatty acid coatings demonstrate excellent thermal stability. Importantly, this new family of coatings displays excellent anti-biofouling and antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua, used as relevant model Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. These multifunctional coatings hold immense potential for application in numerous fields, ranging from food safety to biomedicine, offering sustainable and safe solutions.

Abstract
Microbial transmissions via membrane surface and single-use plastic-induced pollution are two urgent societal problems. This research introduces a scalable fabrication strategy for fully biobased antibacterial and ultraviolet-B block polylactic acid (PLA) films integrating natural coatings and nanopatterns via ultrasonic atomization spray coating and thermal nanoimprinting lithography (TNIL) techniques, respectively. Tannic acid (TA) and gallic acid (GA) were formulated prior to TNIL using anode aluminum oxide template. Results reveal that TA and GA inks display intense adsorption in the UVB region. Plasma increases the hydrophilicity of PLA films for fast spreading of ink droplets. Micron-sized pillars observed on film confirm the successful structural replication. TA-coated PLA films display higher transparency than GA-coated ones. Nanopatterned PLA films have a modest antibacterial resistance of c. 45% against Escherichia coli. TA/GA coatings, however, impart PLA films with a bacterial reduction rate of over 80%. The integration of a TA or GA coating with nanopatterns further promotes the antibacterial rate up to 98%. The cytocompatibility of TA and GA demonstrates that the engineered film can potentially be applied as food packaging. Finally, a continuous mass production strategy is proposed along with an outline of the associated challenges and costs. This study provides a scalable strategy to the sustainable development of eco-benign and functional films.

Abstract
The current pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) raised several concerns about using conventional textiles for manufacturing personal protective equipment without self-disinfecting properties since the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is transmitted mainly by aerosols that can transpose cotton masks. Therefore, developing new cotton fibers with high self-disinfecting ability is essential to avoid a new pandemic due to new SARS-CoV-2 variants. Herein, we developed cotton wipes (CFs) with fibers coated by Ag, TiO2, and Ag/TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles like Brazilian heavy-fruited Myrciaria cauliflora by a sonochemical approach. Moreover, the coated CFs present high antimicrobial performance against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), being able to inactivate infectious SARS-CoV-2 (Delta variant) by the destruction of the spike, membrane, and nucleocapsid proteins while the viral RNA is not significantly affected, according to the molecular biological findings.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infection and poor native tissue integration are two major issues encountered by biomaterial implants and devices, which are extremely hard to overcome within a single surface, especially for those without involvement of antibiotics. Herein, a self-adaptive surface that can transform from non-antibiotic antibacterial actions to promotion of cell proliferation is developed by in situ assembly of bacteriostatic 3,3'-diaminodipropylamine (DADP)-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on bio-inspired nanopillars. Initially, the nanocomposite surface shows impressive antibacterial effects, even under severe bacterial infection, due to the combination of mechano-bactericidal activity from a nanopillar structure and bacteriostatic activity contributed by pH-responsive release of DADP. After the complete degradation of the ZIF-8 layer, the refurbished nanopillars not only can still physically rupture bacterial membrane but also facilitate mammalian cell proliferation, due to the obvious difference in cell size. More strikingly, the nanocomposite surface totally avoids the usage of antibiotics, eradicating the potential risk of antimicrobial resistance, and the surface exhibited excellent histocompatibility and lower inflammatory response properties as revealed by in vivo tests. This type of self-adaptive surface may provide a promising alternative for addressing the intractable implant-associated requirements, where antibiotic-free antibacterial activity and native tissue integration are both highly needed.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has been widely used for manufacturing of bone implants because of its mechanical properties, biological compatibility, and favorable corrosion resistance in biological environments. However, Ti implants are prone to infection (peri-implantitis) by bacteria which in extreme cases necessitate painful and costly revision surgeries. An emerging, viable solution for this problem is to use copper (Cu) as an antibacterial agent in the alloying system of Ti. The addition of copper provides excellent antibacterial activities, but the underpinning mechanisms are still obscure. This review sheds light on such mechanisms and reviews how incorporation of Cu can render Ti–Cu implants with antibacterial activity. The review first discusses the fundamentals of interactions between bacteria and implanted surfaces followed by an overview of the most common engineering strategies utilized to endow an implant with antibacterial activity. The underlying mechanisms for antibacterial activity of Ti–Cu implants are then discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to contact killing mechanisms because the misinterpretation of this mechanism is the root of discrepancies in the literature.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Titanium and its alloys are commonly used implant materials. Once inserted into the body, the interface of the biomaterials is the most likely site for the development of implant-associated infections. Imparting the titanium substrate with high-aspect-ratio nanostructures, which can be uniformly achieved using hydrothermal etching, enables a mechanical contact-killing (mechanoresponsive) mechanism of bacterial and fungal cells. Interaction between cells and the surface shows cellular inactivation via a physical mechanism meaning that careful engineering of the interface is needed to optimse the technology. This mechanism of action is only effective towards surface adsorbed microbes, thus any cells not directly in contact with the substrate will survive and limit the antimicrobial efficacy of the titanium nanostructures. Therefore, we propose that a dual-action mechanoresponsive and chemical-surface approach must be utilised to improve antimicrobial activity. The addition of antimicrobial silver nanoparticles will provide a secondary, chemical mechanism to escalate the microbial response in tandem with the physical puncture of the cells. EXPERIMENTS Hydrothermal etching is used as a facile method to impart variant nanostrucutres on the titanium substrate to increase the antimicrobial response. Increasing concentrations (0.25 M, 0.50 M, 1.0 M, 2.0 M) of sodium hydroxide etching solution were used to provide differing degrees of nanostructured morphology on the surface after 3 h of heating at 150 °C. This produced titanium nanospikes, nanoblades, and nanowires, respectively, as a function of etchant concentration. These substrates then provided an interface for the deposition of silver nanoparticles via a reduction pathway. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcous aureus (MRSA) and Candida auris (C. auris) were used as model bacteria and fungi, respectively, to test the effectiveness of the nanostructured titanium with and without silver nanoparticles, and the bio-interactions at the interface. FINDINGS The presence of nanostructure increased the bactericidal response of titanium against MRSA from ∼ 10 % on commercially pure titanium to a maximum of ∼ 60 % and increased the fungicidal response from ∼ 10 % to ∼ 70 % in C. auris. Introducing silver nanoparticles increased the microbiocidal response to ∼ 99 % towards both bacteria and fungi. Importantly, this study highlights that nanostructure alone is not sufficient to develop a highly antimicrobial titanium substrate. A dual-action, physical and chemical antimicrobial approach is better suited to produce highly effective antibacterial and antifungal surface technologies.

Abstract
We investigate the effect of micrometer-scale surface wrinkling on the attachment and proliferation of model bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli K12) and fungi (Candida albicans). Specifically, sinusoidal (1D), checkerboard (C), and herringbone (H) patterns were fabricated by mechanical wrinkling of plasma-oxidized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) bilayers and contrasted with flat (F) surfaces. Microbial deformation and orientation were found to correlate with the aspect ratio and commensurably with surface pattern dimensions and local pattern order. Significantly, the proliferation of P. aeruginosa could be described by a linear scaling between bacterial area coverage and available surface area, defined as a fraction of the line integral along each profile with negative curvature. However, in the early stages of proliferation (up to 6 h examined), that C and H patterns disrupt the spatial arrangement of bacteria, impeding proliferation for several hours and reducing it (by ∼50%) thereafter. Our findings suggest a simple framework to rationalize the impact of micrometer-scale topography on microbial action and demonstrate that multiaxial patterning order provides an effective strategy to delay and frustrate the early stages of bacterial proliferation.

Abstract
Infection is one of the most common causes that leads to joint prosthesis failure. In the present work, biodegradable sol-gel coatings were investigated as a promising controlled release of antibiotics for the local prevention of infection in joint prostheses. Accordingly, a sol-gel formulation was designed to be tested as a carrier for 8 different individually loaded antimicrobials. Sols were prepared from a mixture of MAPTMS and TMOS silanes, tris(tri-methylsilyl)phosphite, and the corresponding antimicrobial. In order to study the cross-linking and surface of the coatings, a battery of examinations (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state 29Si-NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, SEM, EDS, AFM, and water contact angle, thickness, and roughness measurements) were conducted on the formulations loaded with Cefoxitin and Linezolid. A formulation loaded with both antibiotics was also explored. Results showed that the coatings had a microscale roughness attributed to the accumulation of antibiotics and organophosphites in the surface protrusions and that the existence of chemical bonds between antibiotics and the siloxane network was not evidenced.

Abstract
The capacity to synthesize and design highly intricated nanoscale objects of different sizes, surfaces, and shapes dramatically conditions the development of multifunctional nanomaterials. Ultrafast laser technology holds great promise as a contactless process able to rationally and rapidly manufacture complex nanostructures bringing innovative surface functions. The most critical challenge in controlling the growth of laser-induced structures below the light diffraction limit is the absence of external order associated to the inherent local interaction due to the self-organizing nature of the phenomenon. Here high aspect-ratio nanopatterns driven by near-field surface coupling and architectured by timely-controlled polarization pulse shaping are reported. Electromagnetic coupled with hydrodynamic simulations reveal why this unique optical manipulation allows peaks generation by inhomogeneous local absorption sustained by nanoscale convection. The obtained high aspect-ratio surface nanotopography is expected to prevent bacterial proliferation, and have great potential for catalysis, vacuum to deep UV photonics and sensing.

Abstract
Nanopillars can influence how bacterial cells attach to a surface. Herein, we investigated whether self-assembled zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopillars synthesized on glass substrates via the conventional hydrothermal route possess anti-biofouling properties either by reducing the amount of initially attached cells or promoting the detachment of cells from the surface or both. To avoid complications associated with manual intervention methods of assessing bacterial attachment on nanopillar surfaces, we implemented a microfluidic approach. In our study, we synthesized two nanopillar topographies: a low surface density of ZnO nanopillars and a high surface density of ZnO nanopillars. Next, we mounted microfluidic channels to each of these substrates. This microfluidic approach allowed us to gently flow Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, or Bacillus subtilis cells onto the nanopillars for initial attachment before systematically increasing the flowrate to attempt to detach remaining attached cells without introducing air-liquid interface artefacts during the assay. Generally, initial bacterial attachment was similar across all substrates. However, cells consistently detached more readily from high-surface-density nanopillars compared to low-surface-density nanopillars. Electron microscopy revealed that cells that attached to high-surface-density nanopillars rested atop the nanopillars, fully exposed to microfluidic shear, whereas many cells became trapped in the void space between neighboring low-surface-density nanopillars, shielding these cells from detachment. Our findings indicate that self-assembled ZnO nanopillars can provide anti-biofouling properties under submerged flow but only if synthesized at high surface density.

Abstract
Infection associated with tissue-contacting biomedical devices is a compelling clinical problem initiated by the microbial colonization of the device surface. Among the possible sources of contaminating bacteria is the operating room (OR) itself, where viable bacteria in the atmosphere can sediment onto a device surface intraoperatively. We have developed an aerosolizing system that can reproducibly spray small quantities of aerosolized bacteria onto a surface to mimic OR contamination. This paper describes the design of the system and characterizes key aspects associated with its operation. The area density of sprayed bacteria is on the order of 102 /cm2 . Using titanium (Ti) alloy coupons as test substrates contaminated by staphylococci, we quantify the fraction of bacteria that are well adhered to the substrate, those that can be removed by sonication, and those that are not recovered after spraying. Despite the relatively low levels of surface contamination, we furthermore show that such a model is able to demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in colonization of Ti coupons modified by antimicrobial quaternary ammonium compounds relative to unmodified controls.

Abstract
The human race has learned about countering bacterial infection from other living organisms. In this study, cicada-wing-inspired hydrophilic nanopillars were prepared using commercially available porous alumina templates without the use of specialized equipment and additional materials. Hydrophilic polymers of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(methacrylic acid) (poly(MAAc)) were used to construct these nanopillars. The water-insoluble nanopillars formed by thermal cross-linking between the hydroxy and carboxy groups were highly flexible, with no significant structural disruption being observed on tilting them. The nanopillars captured Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, despite their negatively charged surface leading an electrostatic repulsion with bacteria. The wing of the cicada has evolved to remain dry and maintain its lightweight. The water-containing cicada-wing structure may be an unknown encounter for bacteria and, thus, may become a countermeasure against the ever-changing bacteria.

Abstract
Cold Spray (CS) is a deposition process, part of the thermal spray family. In this method, powder particles are accelerated at supersonic speed within a nozzle; impacts against a substrate material triggers a complex process, ultimately leading to consolidation and bonding. CS, in its modern form, has been around for approximately 30 years and has undergone through exciting and unprecedented developmental steps. In this article, we have summarized the key inventions and sub-inventions which pioneered the innovation aspect to the process that is known today, and the key breakthroughs related to the processing of materials CS is currently mastering. CS has not followed a liner path since its invention, but an evolution more similar to a hype cycle: high initial growth of expectations, followed by a decrease in interest and a renewed thrust pushed by a number of demonstrated industrial applications. The process interest is expected to continue (gently) to grow, alongside with further development of equipment and feedstock materials specific for CS processing. A number of current applications have been identified the areas that the process is likely to be the most disruptive in the medium-long term future have been laid down.

Abstract
The emergence of bacterial resistance due to the evolution of microbes under antibiotic selection pressure, and their ability to form biofilm, has necessitated the development of alternative antimicrobial therapeutics. Physical stimulation, as a powerful antimicrobial method to disrupt microbial structure, has been widely used in food and industrial sterilization. With advances in nanotechnology, nanophysical antimicrobial strategies (NPAS) have provided unprecedented opportunities to treat antibiotic-resistant infections, via a combination of nanomaterials and physical stimulations. In this review, NPAS are categorized according to the modes of their physical stimulation, which include mechanical, optical, magnetic, acoustic, and electrical signals. The biomedical applications of NPAS in combating bacterial infections are systematically introduced, with a focus on their design and antimicrobial mechanisms. Current challenges and further perspectives of NPAS in the clinical treatment of bacterial infections are also summarized and discussed to highlight their potential use in clinical settings. The authors hope that this review will attract more researchers to further advance the promising field of NPAS, and provide new insights for designing powerful strategies to combat bacterial resistance.

Novel Titanium Nanospike Structure Using Low-Energy Helium Ion Bombardment for the Transgingival Part of a Dental Implant. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:1065. [PMID: 35407183 PMCID: PMC9000873 DOI: 10.3390/nano12071065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
AIM(S) The aim of the study was to fabricate a nanospike surface on a titanium alloy surface using a newly established method of low-energy helium ion bombardment. Various methods to achieve nanospike formation on titanium have been introduced recently, and their antibacterial properties have been mainly investigated with respect to Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Oral pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis play an important role in the development of peri-implantitis. For that reason, the antibacterial properties of the novel, nanostructured titanium surface against P. gingivalis were assessed, and a possible effect on the viability of gingival fibroblasts was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Helium sputtering was employed for developing titanium surfaces with nanospikes of 500 nm (ND) in height; commercially available smooth-machined (MD) and sandblasted and acid-etched titanium disks (SLA) were used as controls. Surface structure characterization was performed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Following incubation with P. gingivalis, antibacterial properties were determined via conventional culturing and SEM. Additionally, the viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) was tested through MTT assay, and cell morphology was assessed through SEM. RESULTS SEM images confirmed the successful establishment of a nanospike surface with required heights, albeit with heterogeneity. AFM images of the 500 nm nanospike surface revealed that the roughness is dominated by large-scale hills and valleys. For frame sizes of 5 × 5 μm and smaller, the average roughness is dominated by the height of the titanium spikes. ND successfully induces dysmorphisms within P. gingivalis cultures following the incubation period, while conventional culturing reveals a 17% and 20% reduction for ND compared to MD and SLA, respectively. Moreover, the nanospike surfaces did not affect the viability of human growth fibroblasts despite their sharp surface. CONCLUSION(S) This study successfully developed a novel titanium-nanospike-based structuration technique for titanium surfaces. In addition, the nanospikes did not hinder gingival fibroblast viability. Enhanced antimicrobial effects for such a novel nanospike-based resurfacing technique can be achieved through further optimizations for nanospike spacing and height parameters.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global concern and has called for the integration of different areas of expertise for designing robust solutions. One such approach is the development of antimicrobial surfaces to combat the emerging resistance in microbes against drugs and disinfectants. This review is a compressive summary of the work done in the field of material science, chemistry, and microbiology in the development of antimicrobial materials and surfaces that are inspired by examples in nature. The focus includes examples of natural antimicrobial surfaces, such as cicada wings or nanopillars, dragonfly wings, shrimp shells, taro leaves, lotus leaves, sharkskin, gecko skin, and butterfly wings, along with their mechanism of action. Techniques, compositions, and combinations that have been developed to synthetically mimic these surfaces against bacterial/viral and fungal growth in food-processing areas have also been discussed. The applications of synthetic mimics of natural antimicrobial surfaces in food-processing environments is still a naïve area of research. However, this review highlights the potential applications of natural antimicrobial surfaces in the food-processing environment as well as outlines the challenges that need mitigations.

Bio-inspired nanostructures have demonstrated highly efficient mechano-bactericidal performances with no risk of bacterial resistance; however, they are prone to become contaminated with the killed bacterial debris. Herein, a biocompatible mechano-bactericidal nanopatterned surface with salt-responsive bacterial releasing behavior is developed by grafting salt-responsive polyzwitterionic (polyDVBAPS) brushes on a bio-inspired nanopattern surface. Benefiting from the salt-triggered configuration change of the grafted polymer brushes, this dual-functional surface shows high mechano-bactericidal efficiency in water (low ionic strength condition), while the dead bacterial residuals can be easily lifted by the extended polymer chains and removed from the surface in 1 M NaCl solution (high ionic strength conditions). Notably, this functionalized nanopatterned surface shows selective biocidal activity between bacterial cells sand eukaryotic cells. The biocompatibility with red blood cells (RBCs) and mammalian cells was tested in vitro. The histocompatibility and prevention of perioperative contamination activity were verified by in vivo evaluation in a rat subcutaneous implant model. This nanopatterned surface with bacterial killing and releasing activities may open new avenues for designing bio-inspired mechano-bactericidal platforms with long-term efficacy, thus presenting a facile alternative in combating perioperative-related bacterial infection. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Bioinspired nanostructured surfaces with noticeable mechano-bactericidal activity showed great potential in moderating drug-resistance. However, the nanopatterned surfaces are prone to be contaminated by the killed bacterial debris and compromised the bactericidal performance. In this study, we provide a dual-functional antibacterial conception with both mechano-bactericidal and bacterial releasing performances not requiring external chemical bactericidal agents. Additionally, this functionalized antibacterial surface also shows selective biocidal activity between bacteria and eukaryotic cells, and the excellent biocompatibility was tested in vitro and in vivo. The new concept for the functionalized mechano-bactericidal surface here illustrated presents a facile antibiotic-free alternative in combating perioperative related bacterial infection in practical application.

Abstract
Zirconium-based metallic glasses (Zr-BMGs) have attracted tremendous attention in healthcare fields, especially in the design of surgical tools and orthopedic implants, due to their unique amorphous structure; however, the application of Zr-BMG-based medical devices is hindered by bacterial contamination. Here, a structure-element strategy is proposed to improve the antibacterial performance of Zr-BMGs by surface laser nanostructuring and silver nanoparticle (AgNP) deposition. The laser nanostructuring process generates a disordered nanoparticle structure (NP) and laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) to decrease the surface bacterial adhesion and increase the internal antimicrobial ion release. Moreover, after Ag deposition and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment, the antibacterial adhesion ability of the Zr-BMG surface can be further improved without any influence on the crystallization of Zr-BMGs and the release of antibacterial copper/nickel (Cu/Ni). The antibacterial effect of the LIPSS and the NP surfaces presents over 90% bacterial killing ratio, which is superior to that of the naked Zr-BMGs with less than 60% bacterial killing ratio. In vitro and in vivo tests show that the Ag-deposited and H2O2-treated LIPSS surfaces exhibit an optimal balance between the antibacterial property and the biocompatibility compared with the polished, NP structured or LIPSS structured surfaces. It is assumed that such structure-element surface modification strategy can improve the antibacterial activity of metal-containing surgical tools and orthopedic implants, improving the success rate of medical treatment.

Abstract
Cells sense and respond to a variety of physical cues from their surrounding microenvironment, and these are interpreted through mechanotransductive processes to inform their behavior. These mechanisms have particular relevance to stem cells, where control of stem cell proliferation, potency, and differentiation is key to their successful application in regenerative medicine. It is increasingly recognized that surface micro- and nanotopographies influence stem cell behavior and may represent a powerful tool with which to direct the morphology and fate of stem cells. Current progress toward this goal has been driven by combined advances in fabrication technologies and cell biology. Here, the capacity to generate precisely defined micro- and nanoscale topographies has facilitated the studies that provide knowledge of the mechanotransducive processes that govern the cellular response as well as knowledge of the specific features that can drive cells toward a defined differentiation outcome. However, the path forward is not fully defined, and the "bumpy road" that lays ahead must be crossed before the full potential of these approaches can be fully exploited. This review focuses on the challenges and opportunities in applying micro- and nanotopographies to dictate stem cell fate for regenerative medicine. Here, key techniques used to produce topographic features are reviewed, such as photolithography, block copolymer lithography, electron beam lithography, nanoimprint lithography, soft lithography, scanning probe lithography, colloidal lithography, electrospinning, and surface roughening, alongside their advantages and disadvantages. The biological impacts of surface topographies are then discussed, including the current understanding of the mechanotransductive mechanisms by which these cues are interpreted by the cells, as well as the specific effects of surface topographies on cell differentiation and fate. Finally, considerations in translating these technologies and their future prospects are evaluated.

Abstract
Overuse of antibiotics can increase the risk of notorious antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which has become a growing public health concern worldwide. Featured with the merit of mechanical rupture of bacterial cells, the bioinspired nanopillars are promising alternatives to antibiotics for combating bacterial infections while avoiding antibacterial resistance. However, the resident dead bacterial cells on nanopillars may greatly impair their bactericidal capability and ultimately impede their translational potential toward long-term applications. Here, we show that the functions of bactericidal nanopillars can be significantly broadened by developing a hybrid thermoresponsive polymer@nanopillar-structured surface, which retains all of the attributes of pristine nanopillars and adds one more: releasing dead bacteria. We fabricate this surface through coaxially decorating mechano-bactericidal ZnO nanopillars with thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) brushes. Combining the benefits of ZnO nanopillars and PNIPAAm chains, the antibacterial performances can be controllably regulated between ultrarobust mechano-bactericidal action (∼99%) and remarkable bacteria-releasing efficiency (∼98%). Notably, both the mechanical sterilization against the live bacteria and the controllable release for the pinned dead bacteria solely stem from physical actions, stimulating the exploration of intelligent structure-based bactericidal surfaces with persistent antibacterial properties without the risk of triggering drug resistance.

Abstract
The successful development of multifunctional cotton fabrics with antimicrobial and antiviral activities is essential to prevent the proliferation of microorganisms and transmission of coronavirus virions today, especially with the emergence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2. In this work, we developed antimicrobial cotton fabrics with Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles synthesized via sonochemistry. Here, we show that more than 50% of infectious SARS-CoV-2 remain active after prolonged direct contact self-disinfecting materials capable of inhibiting the proliferation of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The findings bring several epidemiologic worries about using silver and TiO2 as self-disinfecting nanostructured agents to prevent coronavirus transmission.

Abstract
In this work, thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to synthesize vanadium (V)-doped TiO2thin nanofilm on polypropylene (PP) hernia meshes. Multiple layers of (Al2O3+ TiVOx) nano-films were coated on the PP hernia mesh surface to provide a layer with a total thickness of 38 nm to improve its antibacterial properties, thereby, prevent mesh-related post-surgery complications. Highly conformal V-doped TiO2nanofilm were deposited on PP mesh at a temperature of 85 °C. Rats and rabbits have been used to evaluate the tissue reaction on coated PP hernia meshes and biomechanical testing of the healed tissue. Five rabbits and ten rats have been implanted with ALD coated and uncoated (control) PP meshes into the back of rats and abdominal wall of rabbits. Histology of the mesh-adjacent tissues and electron microscopy of the explanted mesh surface were performed to characterize host tissue response to the implanted PP meshes. The effect of V-doped TiO2coating on a living organism and fibroblast functions and bacterial activities were studied. The present results indicated that ALD coating improves adhesion properties and exhibited enhanced antibacterial activity compared to uncoated PP mesh. It was shown that V-doped TiO2coatings were highly effective in inhibitingS. aureusandE. coliadhesion and exhibited excellent antibacterial activity. We found that V-doping of TiO2, unlike bare TiO2, allows generated and further procured strong redox reactions which effectively kills bacteria under visible light. We have reported comparative analysis of the use of undoped (bare) TiO2and V-doped TiO2as a coating for PP meshes and their action in biological environment and preventing biofilms formation compared with uncoated PP meshes. The PP meshes coated with V-doped TiO2showed significantly lower shrinkage rates compared with an identical PP mesh without a coating. We have shown that ALD coatings provide non-adhesive and functional (antibacterial) properties.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the ability of Candida albicans, a medically significant human fungal pathogen, to minimize contact with an antifungal surface coating that on a flat surface is lethal on contact by growing on and between micron-sized surface topographical features, thus minimizing the contact area. Scanning electron microscopy showed that cells contacting the "floor" between microcones were killed, whereas cells attached to microcones survived and formed hyphal filaments. These spanned space between cones and avoided contact with the flat surface in-between cones. Thus, fungal cells managed to attach and grow despite the antifungal coating. This ability of Candida albicans to exploit topography features to minimize surface contact yet utilize the solid surface for anchoring reduces the effectiveness of the grafted antifungal surface coating. This suggests that biomedical devices with rough surfaces might be more challenging to protect against fungal biofilm formation via application of an antifungal coating.

Abstract
Bacterial infection remains a great risk in medical implantation surgery. In this paper, we found that degradable metals may be a feasible alternative option of antibacterial implantation materials. It is known that the spalling mechanism of magnesium (Mg) during degradation leads to Mg ions-induced alkaline environment, which is harmful to planktonic bacteria. In this study, we showed that alkaline pH environment is almost harmless to those adhesive bacteria protected in well-formed biofilms. Moreover, experimental results demonstrated that the biofilm formed in the place where Mg spalls are destroyed, releasing the covered bacteria to be planktonic in the alkaline environment. As a result, the colonization of biofilms continues to shrink during the degradation of Mg. It implies that if degradable metal is employed as implantation material, even if bacterial infection occurs, it may be possibly cured without second surgery.
