Parallel BioScape: A Stochastic and Parallel Language for Mobile and Spatial Interactions [PDF]
BioScape is a concurrent language motivated by the biological landscapes found at the interface of biology and biomaterials. It has been motivated by the need to model antibacterial surfaces, biofilm formation, and the effect of DNAse in treating and preventing biofilm infections.

Comparative study of adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase domains of MuF polymorphic toxins
With the ultimate goal of understanding the association of toxin‐immunity modules to temperate phages, we characterized toxins from three prophages and examined cross‐protection from immunity proteins. The toxins exhibit adenosine 3′‐pyrophosphokinase activity and are toxic in Escherichia coli.

The interaction between phosphorene oxide and the villin headpiece [PDF]
Phosphorene, a novel member of the two-dimensional nanomaterial family, has been demonstrated a great potential in biomedical applications, such as photothermal therapy, drug delivery and antibacterial. However, phosphorene is unstable and easily oxidized in an aerobic environment.

Incorporating nanosized silver into titanium for antimicrobial materials exploits the metastable miscibility gap between silver and titanium. Silver nanoparticles are synthesized via pulsed laser ablation in liquid. Silver addition refines the microstructure, increases hardness by 30%, and reduces Staphylococcus capitis microbial adhesion by 70%, with ...
