Reversibility and mechanism of bacterial adhesion
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 1995 Abstract The reversibility and mechanisms of adhesion of various pseudomonads and coryneform bacteria having different hydrophobicities and negative cell surface charges on negatively charged Teflon and glass were studied. Adhesion at an ionic strength of 0.1 M was irreversible and corresponded to activation Gibbs energies for detachment higher than ...

Substrate viscosity plays an important role in bacterial adhesion under fluid flow.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2019 Many materials used in the medical settings such as catheters and contact lenses as well as most biological tissues are not purely elastic, but rather viscoelastic. While substrate elasticity has been investigated for its influence on bacterial adhesion,

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Influence of the nano-micro structure of the surface on bacterial adhesion
Materials Research, 2007 Biomaterials failures are frequently associated to the formation of bacterial biofilms on the surface. The aim of this work is to study the adhesion of non motile bacteria streptococci consortium and motile Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.
