Amplified copper ion interference and immunomodulation using self-thermophoretic nanomotors to treat refractory implant-associated biofilm infections

Orthopedic implant-associated biofilm infections (IABIs) are refractory to elimination due to the dense biofilm formation and local immunosuppressive microenvironment. Here, the authors report a biofilm microenvironment-responsive self-thermophoretic nanomotor that leverages amplified copper ion interference and macrophage reprogramming to combat refractory orthopedic IABIs.

Aridity-driven shift in biodiversity–soil multifunctionality relationships

Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships may vary with climate. Here, the authors study relationships of plant and soil microbial diversity with soil nutrient multifunctionality in 130 dryland sites in China, finding a shift towards greater importance of soil microbial diversity in arid conditions.

Boosting electrochemical oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide coupled with organic oxidation

Electrochemical oxygen reduction is a promising method for H₂O₂ production but suffers from poor activity and low yield. In this work, the authors present Ni single atom catalyst for efficient H₂O₂ production which is further coupled with organic oxidation reaction to enhance the economic feasibility of the system.

Aneuploid embryonic stem cells drive teratoma metastasis

Aneuploidy is associated with cancer metastasis, but the causal relationship between them is unclear. Here the authors show that aneuploid murine embryonic stem cells lead to teratomas that can spread to multiple organs without requiring additional driver gene mutations and identify unique cell populations with high stemness in aneuploid teratomas.

Scalable electrosynthesis of commodity chemicals from biomass by suppressing non-Faradaic transformations

Electrooxidation of biomass provides a sustainable route to produce valuable chemicals, but suffers from non-Faradaic degradation in alkaline electrolysis at high reactant concentration. Here, the authors develop a single-pass continuous flow reactor to tackle this challenge, achieving kilogram-scale and continuous electrooxidation of glucose to formate and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid with high selectivity and high concentration.
