Emerging Applications of Bacterial Spores in Nanobiotechnology [PDF]
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2003 Bacterial spores are robust and dormant life forms with formidable resistance properties, in part, attributable to the multiple layers of protein that encase the spore in a protective and flexible shield.

Cell-specific cargo delivery using synthetic bacterial spores. [PDF]
Cell Rep, 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.
