Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

SiO2–alginate–melittin nano-conjugates suppress the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells: a controlled release approach leveraging alginate lyase

Cancer Nanotechnology
Background Ovarian cancer treatment is challenged by resistance and off-target effects. Melittin shows promise against cancer but is limited by its instability and harmful cellular interactions. Our study introduces SiO2–alginate–melittin nano-conjugates

A guide to the ecological limitations of phage therapy of bacterial biofilms: Is what's best for the phage best for the physician?

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Bacteriophages—viruses that kill bacteria—are promising weapons against bacterial biofilms: sessile communities notoriously resistant to antibiotics. Yet phages evolved not so much to eradicate bacteria as to obtain new bacteria to infect. That goal, however, may conflict with the physician's objective of complete bacterial clearance.

Characterization of alginate lyase from Pseudomonas syringae pv. Syringae

, 2000
The gene encoding alginate lyase (algL) in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae was cloned, sequenced, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Alginate lyase activity was optimal when the pH was 7.0 and when assays were conducted at 42°C in the presence of 0.
