Lipid Nanoparticle‐Mediated CRISPR‐Cas13a Delivery for the Control of Bacterial Infection
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.New formulations of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that can deliver nucleic acids to Gram‐negative bacteria are proposed to combat bacterial infection. The delivery of nucleic acids by LNPs is aided by LNP‐helpers which weaken the bacterial outer membrane. LNPs encapsulating the Cas13a/gRNA expression vector achieve an antibacterial effect in both in vivo ...

Role of osmotic and hydrostatic pressures in bacteriophage genome ejection [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 87, 022114 (2013), 2012 A critical step in the bacteriophage life cycle is genome ejection into host bacteria. The ejection process for double-stranded DNA phages has been studied thoroughly \textit{in vitro}, where after triggering with the cellular receptor the genome ejects into a buffer.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Negative‐ and positive‐staining TEM is essential for rapid nanometer‐resolution characterization of organic specimens ranging from nanoparticles to cells. Uranyl salts are widely used negative‐/positive‐stains but are radioactive and highly toxic to users and the environment.

More than Simple Parasites: the Sociobiology of Bacteriophages and Their Bacterial Hosts
mBio, 2020 Bacteria harbor viruses called bacteriophages that, like all viruses, co-opt the host cellular machinery to replicate. Although this relationship is at first glance parasitic, there are social interactions among and between bacteriophages and their ...

Forces During Bacteriophage DNA Packaging and Ejection [PDF]
, 2004 The conjunction of insights from structural biology, solution biochemistry, genetics and single molecule biophysics has provided a renewed impetus for the construction of quantitative models of biological processes. One area that has been a beneficiary of these experimental techniques is the study of viruses.

Capstan friction model for DNA ejection from bacteriophages [PDF]
Physical Review Letters vol.109, 248105 (2012), 2013 Bacteriophages infect cells by attaching to the outer membrane and injecting their DNA into the cell.The phage DNA is then transcribed by the cell's transcription machinery.A number of physical mechanisms by which DNA can be translocated from the phage capsid into the cell have been identified.

Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

What Can We Learn from a Metagenomic Analysis of a Georgian Bacteriophage Cocktail?
Viruses, 2015 Phage therapy, a practice widespread in Eastern Europe, has untapped potential in the combat against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. However, technology transfer to Western medicine is proving challenging. Bioinformatics analysis could help to

Jumbo Bacteriophages: An Overview
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Tailed bacteriophages with genomes larger than 200 kbp are classified as Jumbo phages, and are rarely isolated by conventional methods. These phages are designated “jumbo” owing to their most notable features of a large phage virion and large genome size.
