Differently Shaped Hard Body Colloids in Confinement: From passive to active particles

, 2013
We review recent progress in the theoretical description of anisotropic hard colloidal particles. The shapes considered range from rods and dumbbells to rounded cubes, polyhedra and to biaxial particles with arbitrary shape.

SweC and SweD are essential co-factors of the FtsEX-CwlO cell wall hydrolase complex in Bacillus subtilis

PLoS Genetics, 2019
The peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus is composed of long glycan strands cross-linked together by short peptides forming a covalently closed meshwork that protects the bacterial cell from osmotic lysis and specifies its shape.

Biological Activity and Bio-Sorption Properties of the Ti2C Studied by Means of Zeta Potential and SEM

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2017
The expanded Ti2C MXene phase was synthesized from the commercial Ti2AlC MAX phase using classical acidic aluminium extraction method. The individual expanded Ti2C sheets were characterized by the diameters of between 26 and 61 nm and formed the specific

Piezo1 Channel Mediates Mechanically Programmable Drug Delivery to Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Ferroptosis Induction by Fenbendazole Combined With Photothermal Therapy Triggers Dual‐Immunotherapy Against Bladder Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The novel intravesical delivery system exhibits GSH‐responsive drug release, enabling a synergistic therapeutic strategy that combines ferroptosis, ICD and PTT. ABSTRACT Ferroptosis, a newly recognized form of regulated cell death, has emerged as a promising strategy in cancer therapy.

YvcK, a protein required for cell wall integrity and optimal carbon source utilization, binds uridine diphosphate-sugars

Scientific Reports, 2017
In Bacillus subtilis, Listeria monocytogenes and in two Mycobacteria, it was previously shown that yvcK is a gene required for normal cell shape, for optimal carbon source utilization and for virulence of pathogenic bacteria.

Accelerating Biosensor Discovery: A Computationally‐Driven Pipeline for Microplastics Monitoring

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A computationally guided pipeline unites molecular simulation, synthetic biology, electrochemical engineering, and machine learning to accelerate biosensor discovery. A Bacillus anthracis carbohydrate‐binding module is used to develop a high‐performance micro‐ and nanoplastics sensor with greatly reduced error and variability.
