Soft Ionic and Electronic Triboelectric Nanogenerators: Toward Attachable and Implantable Biomedical Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)–based biomedical applications by classifying studies into electronic and ionic systems across attachable and implantable platforms. It summarizes key material choices, device structures, and working mechanisms that characterize current TENG‐based research, and outlines six future ...

Dynamic architecture of mycobacterial outer membranes revealed by all-atom simulations

eLife
Tuberculosis remains a global health crisis due to the resilience of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), largely attributed to its unique cell envelope. The impermeability and structural complexity of the outer membrane of this envelope, driven by mycolic ...

Outer membrane biogenesis in Helicobacter pylori: A deviation from the paradigm

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
The bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori is capable of colonizing the gastric mucosa of the human stomach using a variety of factors associated with or secreted from its outer membrane (OM).

Membranes by the Numbers [PDF]

, 2017
Many of the most important processes in cells take place on and across membranes. With the rise of an impressive array of powerful quantitative methods for characterizing these membranes, it is an opportune time to reflect on the structure and function ...

Hierarchically Engineered Multi‐Enzyme Nanoreactors for in vitro Drug Biosynthesis and Pathway Transplantation Into Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchically structured metal–organic framework (eMIL) is shown to host the complete six‐enzyme biosynthesis pathway for the anti‐cancer pigment violacein, reshaping reaction dynamics and multiplying in vitro yields. eMIL nanoreactors deliver this reconstituted bacterial multi‐protein system into mammalian cells, where cell‐derived substrates and ...

Antigen-specific acquired immunity in human brucellosis: implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and vaccine development. [PDF]

, 2012
Brucella spp., are Gram negative bacteria that cause disease by growing within monocyte/macrophage lineage cells. Clinical manifestations of brucellosis are immune mediated, not due to bacterial virulence factors.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Polymyxins slow down lateral diffusion of proteins and lipopolysaccharide in the E. coli outer membrane

Communications Biology
Polymyxins are often administered as last resort antibiotics for Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, given unwanted side-effects, efficacy and recent reports of resistance against polymyxins, there is an urgency to develop alternatives.
