Physical properties of the bacterial outer membrane

open access: yesNature Reviews Microbiology, 2021
It has long been appreciated that the Gram-negative outer membrane acts as a permeability barrier, but recent studies have uncovered a more expansive and versatile role for the outer membrane in cellular physiology and viability. Owing to recent developments in microfluidics and microscopy, the structural, rheological and mechanical properties of the ...

Assembly and Maintenance of Lipids at the Bacterial Outer Membrane

open access: yesChemical Reviews, 2020
The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is essential for their survival in harsh environments and provides intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics. This membrane is remarkable; it is a highly asymmetric lipid bilayer. The inner leaflet of the outer membrane contains phospholipids, whereas the fatty acyl chains attached to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)

Immune modulation by bacterial outer membrane vesicles

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2015
Gram-negative bacteria shed extracellular outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) during their normal growth both in vitro and in vivo. OMVs are spherical, bilayered membrane nanostructures that contain many components found within the parent bacterium. Until recently, OMVs were dismissed as a by-product of bacterial growth; however, findings within the past ...

Antigen Capture and Immune Modulation by Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles as In Situ Vaccine for Cancer Immunotherapy Post-Photothermal Therapy.

Small, 2022
Tumor antigens released from tumor cells after local photothermal therapy (PTT) can activate the tumor-specific immune responses, which are critical for eliminating the residual lesions and distant metastases.

Engineered Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles as Controllable Two‐Way Adaptors to Activate Macrophage Phagocytosis for Improved Tumor Immunotherapy

Advances in Materials, 2022
The most immune cells infiltrating tumor microenvironment (TME), tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) closely resemble immunosuppressive M2‐polarized macrophages. Moreover, tumor cells exhibit high expression of CD47 “don't eat me” signal, which obstructs

Phytochemical Engineered Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles for Photodynamic Effects Promoted Immunotherapy.

Nano letters (Print), 2022
Cancer vaccines are emerging as an attractive modality for tumor immunotherapy. However, their practical application is seriously impeded by the complex fabrication and unsatisfactory outcomes. Herein, we construct bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs)

Hybrid Vesicles Based on Autologous Tumor Cell Membrane and Bacterial Outer Membrane To Enhance Innate Immune Response and Personalized Tumor Immunotherapy.

Nano letters (Print), 2021
Tumor heterogeneity, often leading to metastasis, limits the development of tumor therapy. Personalized therapy is promising to address tumor heterogeneity.

Bacterial Outer Membrane‐Coated Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Antibiotic Rifampicin against Gram‐Negative Bacterial Infection In Vivo

Advanced Functional Materials, 2021
The efficacy of conventional antibiotics therapeutics has declined rapidly due to the emerged antibiotic resistance. There is an urgent need to develop novel approaches to address the problem of antibiotic shortage, particularly for Gram‐negative ...

Biomineralized Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles Potentiate Safe and Efficient Tumor Microenvironment Reprogramming for Anticancer Therapy

Advances in Materials, 2020
The highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors often dampens the efficacy of immunotherapy. In this study, bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are demonstrated as powerful immunostimulants for TME reprogramming.
