Synchronous semi-solid extrusion and photopolymerization of antimicrobial dressing hydrogel for wound healing

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Bacterial infections at wound sites require more time for a fast and efficient wound-healing process. Antibacterial methyl cellulose-based hydrogel wound dressing can be an excellent option because it can show antibacterial action, absorb wound exudates,

Microtubules in Bacteria: Ancient Tubulins Build a Five-Protofilament Homolog of the Eukaryotic Cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2011
Microtubules play crucial roles in cytokinesis, transport, and motility, and are therefore superb targets for anti-cancer drugs. All tubulins evolved from a common ancestor they share with the distantly related bacterial cell division protein FtsZ, but ...

Glycan strand cleavage by a lytic transglycosylase, MltD contributes to the expansion of peptidoglycan in Escherichia coli.

PLoS Genetics
Peptidoglycan (PG) is a protective sac-like exoskeleton present in most bacterial cell walls. It is a large, covalently crosslinked mesh-like polymer made up of many glycan strands cross-bridged to each other by short peptide chains.

Dual‐Peptide Nanoplatform: Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Functionalized With a Cell‐Penetrating Peptide and Loaded With Rationally Designed Antimicrobial Peptides for Tuberculosis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning–guided engineering of a plectasin‐derived peptide yields DC05, a potent antimycobacterial candidate. Encapsulation into tuftsin‐functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles enhances intracellular delivery, stability, and activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis while maintaining low cytotoxicity and minimal hemolysis. The combined

Localization of protein aggregation in Escherichia coli is governed by diffusion and nucleoid macromolecular crowding effect [PDF]

, 2013
Aggregates of misfolded proteins are a hallmark of many age-related diseases. Recently, they have been linked to aging of Escherichia coli (E. coli) where protein aggregates accumulate at the old pole region of the aging bacterium.
