Natural Design of a Stabilized Cross‐β Fold: Structure of the FuA FapC from Pseudomonas Sp. UK4 Reveals a Critical Role for Stacking of Imperfect Repeats

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report a 3.2 Å cryoEM structure of functional amyloid protein FapC from Pseudomonas sp. UK4, an essential component of bacterial biofilm, which reveals a Greek key‐shaped protofilament, supports bioinformatically determined motifs, nuances AlphaFold predictions, emphasizes heterogeneous cross‐β stacking in amyloid cross‐seeding and shows strain ...

Biomimetic Cell Membrane‐Coated Scaffolds for Enhanced Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the development and use of cell membrane‐coated scaffolds in tissue engineering. Bioinspired phospholipid and glycocalyx coatings enhance anti‐fouling, anti‐thrombogenic, and selective molecular recognition properties. Native cell membrane coatings further support cell‐specific interactions, immune modulation, and reduced bacterial

Insights into the structure and assembly of a bacterial cellulose secretion system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Many Gram-negative bacteria secrete exopolysaccharides via functionally homologous synthase-dependent systems. Here the authors use electron microscopy to reveal that biofilm-promoting cellulose in E.

Functionalized Antifouling Polymer Brushes for Biospecific Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Modern biosensors offer high sensitivity but often struggle with long‐term stability and selectivity for specific targets. Antifouling polymer brushes help enhance both stability and selectivity. In this review, we compare recent antifouling coatings, their design parameters, and how they are integrated with biorecognition elements for improved ...

Electrical Monitoring of Vibrio vulnificus–Host Cell Membrane Interactions in Simple and Complex Matrices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Supported lipid bilayers coupled with multielectrode array devices offer significant promise for pathogen–host cell membrane interaction studies. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the compatibility of this platform with biological fluids, in this case whole human blood, essential for any future point‐of‐care applications; as well as its ...

Rationalizing the Unexpected Inefficiencies of 3D Porphyrin‐MOFs as Singlet Oxygen Photosensitizers Against Botrytis cinerea

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Unexpected results show that the singlet‐oxygen based antifungal activity of porphyrin‐based Metal‐Organic Frameworks is far below expectations while the standalone ligand is more efficient. We attribute these behaviours to inefficient exciton migration and gas diffusion leading to low singlet oxgyen concentrations at and beyond the MOF‐gas interface ...
