The Polymers of Life: Exploring Cellular Function Through Polymer Concepts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Biomolecular phase separation reveals that a hidden layer of cellular organization is governed by the principles of polymer science. This review bridges polymer physics and cell biology, offering a primer on fundamental concepts, proposing a framework for interrogating cellular function, and synthesizing biophysical methods for decoding macromolecular ...

Bacterial Spore-Based Delivery System: 20 Years of a Versatile Approach for Innovative Vaccines
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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A biomimetic artificial extracellular matrix is assembled directly on Pseudomonas fluorescens by co‐assembling amyloid‐like lysozyme and alginate at the cell surface. This conformal nanocoating acts as both a hydration buffer and a physiological priming layer, markedly enhancing desiccation tolerance, seed adhesion, storage stability, and biocontrol ...

Proton dynamics in bacterial spores, a neutron scattering investigation
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Results from first neutron scattering experiments on bacterial spores are reported. The elastic intensities and mean square displacements have a non-linear behaviour as function of temperature, which is in agreement with a model presenting more ...

Bacterial Spores in Food: Survival, Emergence, and Outgrowth [PDF]
Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, 2016 Spore-forming bacteria are ubiquitous in nature. The resistance properties of bacterial spores lie at the heart of their widespread occurrence in food ingredients and foods. The efficacy of inactivation by food-processing conditions is largely determined by the characteristics of the different types of spores, whereas food composition and storage ...
