Abstract
Gallium Nanostructure-Based Microneedle Patch In article number 2407934, Gang Zhou, Jing Liu, Xuyang Sun, and co-workers propose a unique gallium-based nanoparticle featuring a core-satellite structure to enhance gallium and silver metal ion release and photothermal performance. The microneedle patch loaded with these gallium nanoparticles has demonstrated outstanding bacterial elimination capabilities, promoted angiogenesis, and improved wound healing effectiveness against MRSA infections.
