A stochastic model for bacteriophage therapies [PDF]

Math. Biosci. (2013) 99-108, 2011
In this article, we analyze a system modeling bacteriophage treatments for infections in a noisy context. In the small noise regime, we show that after a reasonable amount of time the system is close to a sane equilibrium (which is a relevant biologic information) with high probability.

Mimicking Biochemical Traits with a Synthetic Lipid Nanoparticles SARS‐COV‐2 Model

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A synthetic virus model developed using lipid nanoparticles, which incorporate encapsulated mRNA and nucleocapsid (N) protein along with surface‐conjugated spike (S) protein, mimics the characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), allowing for the advancement of diagnostic product assessment.

Safety Studies of Pneumococcal Endolysins Cpl-1 and Pal

Viruses, 2018
Bacteriophage-derived endolysins have gained increasing attention as potent antimicrobial agents and numerous publications document the in vivo efficacy of these enzymes in various rodent models. However, little has been documented about their safety and

Hydroxyapatite Binding Peptide Lipid Nanoparticles for Biomimetic mRNA Delivery to Bone

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Targeted delivery of therapeutic mRNA to peripheral tissues, including bone, is currently challenging. In the current work, a hydroxyapatite binding peptide (HABP) is conjugated to mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). HABP‐LNPs delivered systemically are demonstrated to reduce transfection in the liver and improve transfection in the femurs of mice ...

Phage Therapy in Poland – a Centennial Journey to the First Ethically Approved Treatment Facility in Europe

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Although phage discovery is an unquestionable merit of the English bacteriologist Frederick W. Twort and the Canadian–French microbiologist Félix d’Hérelle, who both discovered phages over 100 years ago, the Polish history of phage studies also dates ...

Bacteriophages of Lactobacillus

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
In this review, we are listing Lactobacillus phages that have been reported in peer-reviewed articles published since 1960. Putative phages that are defective or have not been shown to be infectious, such as phage-like particles, are not discussed. Our literature searches led to the identification of 231 Lactobacillus phages, 186 of which have been ...

Nonuniform Donnan Equilibrium within Bacteriophages Packed with Dna [PDF]

arXiv, 2003
The curvature stress of DNA packed inside a phage is balanced against its electrostatic self-interaction. The DNA density is supposed nonuniform and as a result the Donnan effect is also inhomogeneous. The coarse-grained DNA density is a nonlinear function of the DNA radius of curvature at a given position inside the bacteriophage.

GRP78 Nanobody‐Directed Immunotoxin Activates Innate Immunity Through STING Pathway to Synergize Tumor Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A GRP78 nanobody‐directed immunotoxin suppresses cancer progression and metastasis by enhancing antitumor immunity via STING pathway activation, offering a pan‐cancer‐targeted approach and immunotherapy combination strategy. Abstract The lack of targetable antigens poses a significant challenge in developing effective cancer‐targeted therapies.

DNA looping provides stability and robustness to the bacteriophage lambda switch [PDF]

, 2009
The bistable gene regulatory switch controlling the transition from lysogeny to lysis in bacteriophage lambda presents a unique challenge to quantitative modeling. Despite extensive characterization of this regulatory network, the origin of the extreme stability of the lysogenic state remains unclear.
