Spontaneous Non‐Catalyzed Molecular Reactions and Interactions in the Human Body: Biomedical Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The human body functions as a natural reactor for a vast network of chemical and biological reactions and physical interactions among small molecules, proteins, cells, and numerous other components. These reactions/interactions are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions.

Attenuation of biofilm-encoding genes and virulence attributes in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii by essential oil derived from Myroxylon balsamum

Scientific Reports
Biofilm-associated infections due to recalcitrant bacterial pathogens pose a major challenge to global public health. Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) a multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogen, relies on biofilm formation and quorum sensing (QS) for

Dual‐Mode Type I/II Photosensitization of a Stable Mesoporous Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework for Antibacterial Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A π‐conjugated donor–acceptor PDI monomer undergoes hydrogen‐bonded self‐assembly to form a robust mesoporous framework. The ordered molecular arrangement promotes efficient intersystem crossing and charge separation, leading to simultaneous Type I and Type II reactive oxygen species generation with a high singlet oxygen quantum yield.

Environmental and genetic factors influencing biofilm structure

, 2000
It is increasingly evident that biofilms growing in a diverse range of medical, industrial, and natural environments form a similarly diverse range of complex structures (Stoodley et al., 1999a).
