Bacterial Spore-Based Delivery System: 20 Years of a Versatile Approach for Innovative Vaccines [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 Mucosal vaccines offer several advantages over injectable conventional vaccines, such as the induction of adaptive immunity, with secretory IgA production at the entry site of most pathogens, and needle-less vaccinations.

Cell-specific cargo delivery using synthetic bacterial spores [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Delivery of cancer therapeutics to non-specific sites decreases treatment efficacy while increasing toxicity. In ovarian cancer, overexpression of the cell surface marker HER2, which several therapeutics target, relates to poor prognosis.

Evaluation of Microencapsulation Techniques for MICP Bacterial Spores Applied in Self-Healing Concrete [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Concrete cracks must be repaired promptly in order to prevent structural damage and to prolong the structural life of the building (or other such construction). Biological self-healing concrete is a recent alternative technology involving the biochemical

Molecular kinetics of reviving bacterial spores. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2013 ABSTRACT Bacterial spores can remain dormant for years, yet they possess a remarkable potential to rapidly resume a vegetative life form. Here, we identified a distinct phase at the onset of spore outgrowth, designated the ripening period.
