Nanoclay Hydrogel Microspheres with a Sandwich-Like Structure for Complex Tissue Infection Treatment

Abstract

Front Cover: The human bone background visually demonstrates the effectiveness of hydrogel microspheres as a promising treatment for complex tissue infections caused by osteomyelitis. The injectable hydrogel microspheres, with their sandwich-like structure, allow controlled release of different types of metal ions that work together to eliminate bacteria. The lightning strike imagery vividly illustrates the antibacterial effect resulting from the interaction between microspheres and bacteria.
