Capsule Polysaccharide Mediates Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2004 ABSTRACT The innate immune system plays a critical role in the defense of areas exposed to microorganisms. There is an increasing body of evidence indicating that antimicrobial peptides and proteins (APs) are one of the most important weapons of this system and that they make up the protective front for the respiratory tract.

Electrodeposition in Structural Lattices of Variable Architectures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Electrodeposition enables geometry‐sensitive, autonomous void filling while simultaneously tuning chemical and mechanical properties. The development of approaches that can autonomously fill and heal material voids and yield composites with tailorable properties is increasingly relevant in engineering.
