Anchoring of Surface Proteins to the Cell Wall of Staphylococcus aureus. III. Lipid II is an in vivo peptidoglycan substrate for sortase-catalyzed surface protein anchoring [PDF]
Surface proteins of Staphylococcus aureus are anchored to the cell wall peptidoglycan by a mechanism requiring a C-terminal sorting signal with an LPXTG motif.

The mechanism behind the selection of two different cleavage sites in NAG-NAM polymers. [PDF]
Peptidoglycan is a giant molecule that forms the cell wall that surrounds bacterial cells. It is composed of alternating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) residues connected by β-(1,4)-glycosidic bonds and cross-linked with short ...

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Albumin Corona Overturns Long‐Acting Behaviors of Myristic Acid‐Conjugated Quetiapine Nanosuspension
Albumin corona alters surface properties and enhances colloidal stability by overturning pH responsiveness and nano‐aggregation behaviors of long‐acting myristic acid‐conjugated quetiapine nanosuspensions (QMN), resulting in accelerated in vitro and in vivo drug release.

High‐Resolution Patterned Delivery of Chemical Signals From 3D‐Printed Picoliter Droplet Networks
3D‐printed picoliter droplet networks have been fabricated that control gene expression in bacterial populations by releasing chemical signals with precise spatial definition and high temporal resolution. This system of effector release is widely applicable, offering diverse applications in biology and medicine.
