A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.

Oil biodegradation studies with an immobilized bacterial consortium in plant biomass for the construction of bench-scale bioreactor

Cleaner Chemical Engineering, 2023
Increasing exploration of natural sources and the development of new oil-derived technologies have caused environmental contamination. Thus, among the bioremediation strategies, biostimulation and bioaugmentation techniques have been the most used in the

3D‐Printed Porous Hydroxyapatite Formed via Enzymatic Mineralization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bone combines lightness, strength, and the ability to heal, inspiring new materials design. This work introduces a room‐temperature, enzyme‐mediated 3D printing method to create porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds. The process avoids energy‐intensive sintering, preserves bioactivity, and allows control over porosity and mineralization.

Growth Pattern and Degradation Activity of Caffeine-degrading Bacteria Consortium

Jurnal Ilmu Dasar
Caffeine-degrading bacteria can be used as agents to degrade caffeine, thereby reducing the concentration of caffeine in organic waste. The decomposition process is carried out by a single bacterium or a consortium of bacteria.

Efficacy of bacteriocin-based formula for reducing staphylococci, streptococci, and total bacterial counts on teat skin of dairy cows

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
: The use of teat dips is one of the most effective strategies to control mastitis by preventing new intramammary infections. Reducing bacterial load on teat skin helps control the spread of pathogens and spoilage and improves the quality of milk.

Dual‐Layer Living Hydrogel Enables On‐Demand Delivery of Phages and Probiotics for Synergistic Wound Infection Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer living hydrogel, ProΦGel, integrates bacteriophages and probiotics for synergistic wound infection therapy. The outer gelatin‐based matrix releases phages on demand in response to P. aeruginosa infections, while inner alginate beads sustain probiotic delivery.

Photo‐Controlled Antibacterial Drug Release From DASA‐Coated Silica Particles for Improved Treatment of Wound Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthesis and characterization of light‐responsive donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA)‐coated chlorhexidine‐loaded silica nanoparticles. Such a controllable drug‐delivery system enables the release of the antimicrobial drug on demand and in consecutive cycles, thereby maintaining the concentration within the therapeutic window.
