However, how different restoration patterns influence soil bacterial communities remains insufficiently understood. In this study, we investigated restored wetlands in the Minjiang River Estuary, southeastern China, including salt marshes dominated by <i>Phragmites australis</i> and <i>Cyperus malaccensis</i>, and <i>Kandelia obovata</i> mangroves of two stand ages (6- and 16-year-old), with unrestored wetlands as control. We used high-throughput sequencing to characterize soil bacterial communities and used structural equation modelling (SEM) to identify the key drivers. The results showed that: 1) Vegetation restoration significantly decreased soil pH relative to the unrestored wetland, but without significant differences among the restoration patterns. Soil total carbon (TC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents showed consistent patterns across restoration patterns, followed the order of <i>C. malaccensis</i> > <i>P. australis</i> ≈ old-growth mangrove (16-year-old) > unrestored wetland > young mangrove (6-year-old). <i>C. malaccensis</i> marsh had significantly higher TC and TN than the unrestored wetland. 2) Vegetation restoration generally enhanced soil bacterial richness and diversity. The number of observed species and the Simpson and Shannon indices differed significantly among treatments, whereas the Chao1 index showed no variation. The observed species richness and Simpson and Shannon indices generally followed the order of old-growth mangrove > young mangrove > <i>P. australis</i> > <i>C. malaccensis</i> > unrestored wetland. <i>Desulfotomaculum</i> was the dominant bacterial genus across all restoration types, with a relative abundance of 9.4%-13.9%. The dominant genera in the unrestored wetland included <i>Alkaliimnicola</i>, <i>Desulfotomaculum</i>, <i>Myxococcus</i>, <i>Pseudomonas</i>, and <i>Thioalkalivibrio</i>, with relative abundances of 7.2%, 9.4%, 5.6%, 7.5%, and 5.3%, respectively. Following vegetation restoration, the relative abundances of <i>Desulfotomaculum</i> and <i>Myxococcus</i> increased by 2.5%-4.5% and 2.6%-4.6%, respectively, whereas those of <i>Alkaliimnicola</i> and <i>Pseudomonas</i> decreased by 3.6%-4.6% and 3.0%-5.5%, respectively. In addition, <i>Thioalkalivibrio</i> and <i>Pseudomonas</i> were more abundant in mangrove wetlands than in salt marshes, whereas <i>Rubrobacter</i> showed the opposite pattern. 3) Soil TC, TN, and microbial biomass nitrogen were key environmental factors associated with the shifts in bacterial community structure. Structural equation modeling further revealed that vegetation restoration primarily altered soil physicochemical conditions, which indirectly drove changes in bacterial diversity and community structure by altering nutrient availability.

In response, biomimetic remineralisation strategies have emerged, focusing on functionally reconstructing these natural barriers rather than mere mineral deposition. This review highlights how small organic molecules (SOMs) pioneer this paradigm shift: amino acids direct hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystallisation via electrostatic guidance; biomimetic peptides orchestrate ordered assembly and polyphenols synergistically cross-link collagen, exert antibacterial effects and promote mineralisation.

In order to better leverage the advantages of CaHA and PLGA, this study used a unique composite process to combine the two to produce CaHA/PLGA composite materials, which was then compared with Loviselle, FEILIPULI, PLGA. These investigations included systematic evaluation of their degradation, biocompatibility and collagen regeneration capabilities, elucidating their immunomodulatory mechanisms. The experimental results showed the synthesised CaHA/PLGA composite exhibited uniform microsphere morphology (20–45 μm), excellent rheological properties, and injectability. In vitro, all materials were noncytotoxic and promoted L929 fibroblast proliferation. In vivo rat subcutaneous implantation demonstrated that CaHA incorporation significantly decelerated PLGA degradation, enhancing composite stability. Histopathological analysis revealed minimal inflammation with the CaHA/PLGA composite, leading to advanced tissue repair and morphology closely resembling normal subcutaneous tissue at 6 months. Quantitative analysis showed that the CaHA/PLGA composite induced the highest volume of orderly arranged collagen, with robust host integration. Immunofluorescence indicated that this composite significantly upregulated type I/III collagen and TGF-β1 expression, suggesting an efficient, organised tissue regeneration process via local immune microenvironment modulation.

Due to its unique physicochemical properties, biochar has shown potential advantages in improving acidic purple soils by enhancing soil fertility and regulating soil acidity. To investigate the effects of biochar on the improvement and microbial community structure of acidic purple soils derived from different parent materials, an indoor incubation method was adopted. Four types of acidic purple soils widely distributed in the Sichuan Basin, derived from the Shaximiao Formation, Jiaguan Formation, Penglaitown Formation, and Suining Formation, were selected as research subjects. An equal amount of biochar was added to each soil type, followed by a 63-day indoor incubation. Soil bacterial and fungal communities were measured using indoor analysis and high-throughput sequencing. The study investigated the effects of biochar on available nitrogen, base cations, and the composition and diversity of microbial communities in different acidic purple soils under the same conditions.
