Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Macromolecular crowding in Rhodobacter sphaeroides

, 2020
Macromolecular crowding is thought to have an important role in protein dynamics and molecular diffusion in bacteria. However, the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of the cytoplasm makes it challenging to study and test the significance of crowding in live cells. Previous studies have used diffusion coefficient of protein to estimate excluded volume in

PEG400 regulates Falcipain 2 activity through an allosteric mechanism

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Falcipain‐2 can potentially be leveraged as a drug target due to its critical role as a haemoglobinase during the intra‐erythrocytic stage of Plasmodium falciparum. Here, we investigate the regulation of the proteolytic and haemoglobinase activity of falcipain‐2 in the presence of polyethylene glycol.

Unraveling in vitro phase separation and aggregation properties of the structured region of FMRP and the impact of Fragile X syndrome‐linked mutations

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMRP) is a multidomain RNA‐binding protein associated with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). We found that its N‐terminal structured region has an intrinsic propensity to undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and fibril formation. FXS‐associated mutations perturb protein stability and aggregation propensity, suggesting

Trypanosomal MICOS Is Assembled on Non‐Respiring Mitochondrial Crista Precursors and Associates With Two Integral Microproteins

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
The mitochondrial membrane‐shaping machinery MICOS is assembled surprisingly early during the life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei, before the mitochondrion acquires its mature architecture or full respiratory capacity. Our study also identifies two previously uncharacterized proteins associated with MICOS, providing new insight into the early organization

Structural Control of Dual Emission in Coumarin Fluorophores for Visualizing Protein Droplet Maturation

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 34, 17 August 2026.
A coumarin‐based dual‐emission fluorophore was designed to visualize the maturation of protein liquid droplets. Upon covalent conjugation to droplet‐forming proteins, ratiometric fluorescence imaging allowed real time monitoring of droplet maturation. This probe is applicable to the analysis of droplet formation and maturation mechanisms, as well as to

The oral microbiota and periodontal health in orthodontic patients

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The oral microbiota develops within the first 2 years of childhood and becomes distinct from the parents by 4 years‐of‐age. The oral microbiota plays an important role in the overall health/symbiosis of the individual. Deviations from the state of symbiosis leads to dysbiosis and an increased risk of pathogenicity.

Reviewing the benefits and clinical outcomes of oral fibroblasts over mesenchymal stem cells for repairing periodontal defects during or after orthodontic tooth movement

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthodontic therapy applies forces to teeth, causing an inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. This is repaired by remodeling of the periodontium, allowing tooth displacement. Although orthodontic therapy is mostly initiated during childhood and adolescence, the number of adults seeking this treatment is increasing as our society's

High‐Temporal‐Resolution Monitoring of Creatine and Phosphocreatine Dynamics in Skeletal Muscle Using Ultrafast Z‐Spectroscopy (UFZ) CEST MRI at 3T

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1798-1805, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of High‐Temporal‐Resolution (HTR) Ultrafast Z‐spectrum (UFZ) CEST MRI for monitoring the dynamic fluctuations of phosphocreatine (PCr) and creatine (Cr) in human skeletal muscle (SM) at 3 T during and after exercise.
