Container structures are ubiquitous in nature, with examples including viruses and various protein assemblies. Researchers at the University of South Dakota have designed and synthesized a series of synthetic container molecules termed metal-organic super-containers (MOSCs) because they are assembled from container precursors, metal ions, and organic...

Antimicrobial Polymers and Coatings

Microorganisms have strong abilities to survive on the surfaces of ordinary materials; some species of microorganisms, including drug-resistant strains, can stay alive for more than 90 days. Contaminated materials may serve as significant and important sources for cross-contamination and cross-infection. One of the potential methods to reduce such risks...

Antifungal Denture Materials

Candida-associated denture stomatitis (CADS) is a common, recurrent disease in denture wearers and can lead to other oral health problems, systemic infections, compromised quality of life, and even death. Currently, there are no effective treatment strategies to control CADS, and the reinfection rate is high, particularly in the elderly and those who...
