Physicochemical and structural study of iodine loading in amorphous degradable starch microspheres

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Iodine is a well-established antimicrobial agent, but its clinical use is limited by low chemical stability and adverse effects. This work investigates iodine loading into degradable starch microspheres (DSM), elucidating iodine–starch interactions, and ...

Integrating Vibrio natriegens for Photon Manipulation in Living Lighting Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rationalization of genetic and material engineering tools has enabled the engineering of fluorescent Vibrio natriegens (V. natriegens) to fabricate straightforward, highly emissive and stable V. natriegens‐silicones color filters for the first red‐emitting bacteria‐hybrid light‐emitting diodes. This pinpoints V. natriegens as a high‐performance protein

Immune and Stem Cell‐Mediated Bactericidal Amplification and Bone Remodeling for Infection Clearance and Osteointegration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A pH‐responsive biomaterial interface integrates bactericidal peptides, cell‐recruiting peptides, and magnesium ions into a multifunctional system. Infection‐induced acidification triggers antimicrobial peptide release while cell‐recruiting peptides mobilize bone marrow stem cells.

Assessing and reducing sources of gene expression variability in Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms

BioTechniques, 2014
Gene expression quantification can be a useful tool in studying the properties of bacterial biofilms. Unfortunately, techniques such as RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and quantitative PCR (qPCR) can introduce variability into mRNA transcript ...

Autonomous Cargo Transport with Biohybrid Microswimmers Enabled by Light‐Mediated Bacteria‐Cargo Communication

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biohybrid microswimmers, which integrate the unique mobility and taxis of living cells with the versatility of synthetic cargo, offer exciting opportunities for targeted delivery. However, current biohybrids lack autonomous decision‐making capabilities due to the absence of communication between living and synthetic components. Here, we report
