Biofilm research has grown exponentially over the last decades, arguably due to their
contribution to hospital acquired infections when they form on foreign body surfaces such as …

The cornea provides the largest refractive power for the human visual system. Its stiffness,
along with intraocular pressure (IOP), are linked to several pathologies, including …

Hydrogel-encapsulated catalysts are an attractive tool for low-cost intensification of (bio)-
