Living Microalgae‐Based Magnetic Microrobots for Calcium Overload and Photodynamic Synergetic Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A magnetic microrobot fabricated by Spirulina platensis is proposed to accumulate in tumor regions and generate in situ high calcium concentration and sufficient oxygen. These characteristics of the microrobot present a strategy for triggering calcium overload therapy and chlorophyll‐mediated photodynamic therapy, and such combination resulted in a ...

PhD dissertation to infer multiple networks from microbial data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The interactions among the constituent members of a microbial community play a major role in determining the overall behavior of the community and the abundance levels of its members. These interactions can be modeled using a network whose nodes represent microbial taxa and edges represent pairwise interactions.

Unlocking the Gates: A Novel Diagnostic Molecule for Quantifying Efflux Levels in Gram‐Positive Bacteria

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Efflux‐mediated resistance compromises antibiotic efficacy, yet rapid detection remains elusive. This study presents a novel phenazinium‐based diagnostic molecule for quantifying bacterial efflux levels in Gram‐positive pathogens. The optimized compound enables precise, real‐time efflux assessment using fluorescence and colorimetric techniques ...

Inferring microbial interactions with their environment from genomic and metagenomic data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Microbial communities assemble through a complex set of interactions between microbes and their environment, and the resulting metabolic impact on the host ecosystem can be profound. Microbial activity is known to impact human health, plant growth, water quality, and soil carbon storage which has lead to the development of many approaches and products ...

Sustainable Smart Packaging from Protein Nanofibrils

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Smart packaging can extend shelf life and improve food quality monitoring. This study introduces a novel smart packaging solution using amyloid fibrils and red radish anthocyanins to monitor seafood spoilage. These findings show that these films effectively indicate shrimp freshness and possess high antibacterial and antioxidant properties, offering a ...

Therapeutic Potential of Manuka Honey Microbubble Dressing in Wound Management

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The manuka honey microbubble dressing innovation utilizes high‐density stainless steel mesh technology to generate microscopic honey bubbles achieving S. aureus elimination by fine‐tuning factors such as microbubble size, MH microbubble consumption, and treatment duration. This pioneering approach transforms traditional wound healing and may reduce the

Stress Response of Aspergillus niger Spores to Copper Surfaces and the Implications for Antifungal Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy
