Abstract:
The first visible three-mode switchable antibiotic nanocomposite, including "Packaged" (low toxicity and high stability), "On" (potent antibacterial activity, including drug-resistant strains) and "Off" (easy separation) modes, was synthesized to address several problems caused by antibiotic abuses. Some potential applications were discussed by using animal experiments and 3D printing separately.

Three-dimensional imaging techniques are essential in cell biology, allowing researchers to visualize intricate cellular structures with high resolution. Two prominent methods, Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy (DIC) and Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM), provide distinct advantages for imaging live and thick specimens, respectively.Differential Interference Contrast MicroscopyDIC microscopy enhances contrast in transparent, unstained samples by converting phase...
