Near‐Infrared Organic Photovoltaic Electrodes for Subretinal Neurostimulation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Organic photovoltaic electrodes based on the D18:Y6 blend enable precise and light‐controlled activation of retinal ganglion cells in a degenerating retina. NIR Light‐driven activation of retinal ganglion cells, tunable stimulation parameters, and biocompatibility with human retinal organoids highlight their potential for next‐generation prosthetics ...

Release of Outer Membrane Vesicles from Bordetella pertussis
Current Microbiology, 1999 The aim of the study reported here was to investigate the production of Bordetella pertussis outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). Numerous vesicles released from cells grown in Stainer-Scholte liquid medium were observed. The formation of similar vesicle-like structures could also be artificially induced by sonication of concentrated bacterial suspensions ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Tumor‐tropic human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were used as delivery vehicles for magnetotheranostic gold–iron oxide nanoflowers. Magnetic particle imaging of the iron component demonstrated widespread intratumoral distribution and sustained retention in contrast to injection of naked nanoflowers.

The outer membrane vesicles: Secretion system type zero [PDF]
Traffic, 2017 Gram‐negative bacteria have mechanisms through which they can colonize and survive in different environments, such as the secretion systems types (1‐6) that have been widely studied and characterized. Nowadays, some authors have proposed extracellular structures, such as the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), to be considered as an additional and ...

A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...

Vibrio cholerae Outer Membrane Vesicles Inhibit Bacteriophage Infection [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2018 Phages have been increasingly recognized for the significance of their interactions with bacterial cells in multiple environments. Bacteria use myriad strategies to defend against phage infection, including restriction modification, abortive infection, phase variation of cell surface receptors, phage-inducible chromosomal islands ...
