A Universal Biomimetic Approach for Making Artificial Antigen‐Presenting Cells for T Cell Activation
This study shows a biomimetic silica microcapsule (SMC) fabrication method under mild conditions for making artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs). Inspired by marine biomineralization, peptide‐mediated biosilicification enables silica shell formation on emulsion templates. The resulting SMCs possess a core–shell structure, controlled fluorescence

Biological Precursors of Biotin and/or Biotin L-Sulfoxide
SummaryPimelic and azelaic acids were found to be precursors of biotin L-sulfoxide in the growth of Aspergillus niger. Shorter chain dicarboxylic acids as well as suberic and se-bacic acids are inactive. A number of other miscellaneous compounds including oleic acid, Tween 80, and certain “traumatic acids, v with structural or functional relationships ...

Epitaxial piezoelectric α‐quartz/Si BioNEMS sensors, made using soft chemistry, effectively detect the Chikungunya virus. They have a mass sensitivity of 205 pg Hz−1 in liquid and can detect the virus at a limit of 9 ng mL−1. This development enables high‐frequency mass devices for point‐of‐care testing in healthcare and other electronic applications ...
