TL;DR: A gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) scaffold is generated, using an extrusion-based 3D bioprinter, which can be directly printed on and grafted to the titanium implant surface and is able to trigger mineral deposition of both MG63 osteoblasts and primary normal human osteoblast in the absence of any exogenous osteogenic factors.

TL;DR: Cm‐p5 (SRSE‐LIVHQRLF), a peptide derived from the marine mollusk Cenchritis muricatus peptide Cm •p1, has a significantly increased fungistatic activity against pathogenic Candida albicans while exhibiting low toxic effects against a cultured mammalian cell line.

TL;DR: A portable and low cost point-of-care (POC) PCR system based on continuous flow PCR which maintains fixed temperatures zones and pushes the PCR solution between two heated areas allowing for faster heat transfer and as a result, a faster PCR.

TL;DR: This Perspective will cover the advances made in the field of microfluidic, phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) over the past two years, and gives the perspective on the major hurdles still facing the field, including the need for rapid sample preparation and affordable detection technologies.
