Interkingdom Interactions in the Gut: Ecological Mechanisms, Homeostasis, and Therapeutic Modulation
Gut Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut microbiota constitutes a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem that profoundly influences host physiology, metabolism, and immunity. This review provides an integrative overview of the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms—particularly bacteria and fungi—interact with host cells and with each other to maintain intestinal ...

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2002 Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) plays an important role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Asp-hemolysin, a hemolytic toxin from Aspergillus fumigatus, is a specific, high affinity binding protein for Ox-LDL. We have previously shown that Ox-LDL strongly inhibits the hemolytic activity of Asp-hemolysin, and that the removal

Comparative proteomic analysis of Streptococcus suis biofilms and planktonic cells that identified biofilm infection-related immunogenic proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Streptococcus suis (SS) is a zoonotic pathogen that causes severe disease symptoms in pigs and humans. Biofilms of SS bind to extracellular matrix proteins in both endothelial and epithelial cells and cause persistent infections.

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.Algal‐extract‐derived ZnO nanoparticles show shape anisotropy and are bio capped by phytochemicals. These green‐synthesized NPs strongly inhibit S. aureus and K. pneumoniae biofilms. Molecular docking suggests stable binding of surface biomolecules to microbial targets, highlighting synergistic antibacterial mechanisms.

Solvent‐Mediated Dewetting Principles for Cell‐Sized Liposome Formation
Small, EarlyView.Dynamics of solvent‐mediated dewetting for giant unilamellar liposome formation. Solvent removal, through changing lipid packing and membrane tension, is shown to induce partial dewetting into equilibrium low and high budding angle morphologies. Complete dewetting requires mechanical force, quantified using optical tweezers.
