Human Lipoproteins at Model Cell Membranes: Effect of Lipoprotein Class on Lipid Exchange

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
High and low density lipoproteins (HDL and LDL) are thought to play vital roles in the onset and development of atherosclerosis; the biggest killer in the western world. Key issues of initial lipoprotein (LP) interactions at cellular membranes need to be

Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of Desulfovibrio vulgaris biofilms: carbon and energy flow contribute to the distinct biofilm growth state. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BackgroundDesulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) that is intensively studied in the context of metal corrosion and heavy-metal bioremediation, and SRB populations are commonly observed in pipe and subsurface ...

Mesoporous Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Loaded with IR‐820 for Antibacterial Activity via Magnetic Hyperthermia Combined with Photodynamic Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study addresses bacterial biofilm resistance by developing mesoporous Fe3O4 nanoparticles loaded with photosensitizer IR‐820, enabling combined antimicrobial photodynamic therapyand magnetic hyperthermia therapy. The system achieves magnetic targeting, heat‐triggered drug release under alternating magnetic fields, and near‐infrared‐induced ROS ...

Candida albicans Biofilms and Human Disease.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Microbiology, 2015
In humans, microbial cells (including bacteria, archaea, and fungi) greatly outnumber host cells. Candida albicans is the most prevalent fungal species of the human microbiota; this species asymptomatically colonizes many areas of the body, particularly ...

Investigation on the Influence of Protein Corona and Platelet Adhesion on Storage Bag Surface on the Platelet Storage Lesion

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Platelet quality deteriorates during storage due to protein and platelet adhesion to current bag materials. Here, polymer coatings are identified that reduce adhesion and translated them to mini‐storage bags. Platelet quality are not impacted, despite significantly reducing adhesion.

A novel multiplex fluorescent-labeling method for the visualization of mixed-species biofilms in vitro

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
In nature, bacteria usually exist as mixed-species biofilms, where they engage in a range of synergistic and antagonistic interactions that increase their resistance to environmental challenges.

Tolerance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in in vitro biofilms to high level peracetic acid disinfection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Biofilm has been suggested as a cause of disinfection failures in flexible endoscopes where no lapses in the decontamination procedure can be identified. To test this theory, the activity of peracetic acid (PAA), one of the commonly used disinfectants in

The prevalence of biofilms in chronic wounds: a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data.

open access: yesJournal of Wound Care, 2017
The presence of biofilms in chronic non-healing wounds, has been identified through in vitro model and in vivo animal data. However, human chronic wound studies are under-represented and generally report low sample sizes.

Concurrent Biocompatibility and Antimicrobial Functionality of Soft Diamond‐Like Carbon Coating for Healthcare Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Designing an engineering material that simultaneously promotes the growth of beneficial biological cells while eliminating harmful bacteria is often challenging. However, this study presents a unique carbon coating by manufacturing design capable of achieving both functions, demonstrating strong potential for various applications, including medical ...
