Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Bubble Formation Control: Fabrication of Centimeter‐Sized Tissue‐Like Constructs by Catalase‐Coated Oxygen‐Releasing Hydrogel

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐releasing hydrogels are widely used to support cell survival in 3D cultures and to promote wound healing. However, incorporating catalase to convert H2O2 into O2 often generates additional oxygen bubbles, leading to material instability which rarely addressed.

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Effects of poly-γ-glutamic acid and poly-γ-glutamic acid super absorbent polymer on the sandy loam soil hydro-physical properties.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The main forms of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) applied in agriculture include agricultural γ-PGA and γ-PGA super absorbent polymer (SAP). Laboratory experiments were conducted with a check treatment CK (no γ-PGA added) and two different forms of γ-PGA ...

Physics‐Constrained Constitutive Learning of Rate‐Limiting Timescales for Efficient Hydrogen‐Based Direct Reduction for Green Steel Making

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conversion‐resolved constitutive framework is developed for the hydrogen‐based direct reduction of iron oxide pellets. Effective reaction and transport timescales are inferred directly from measured trajectories and mapped against operating conditions, pellet architecture, and composition. The analysis reveals how late‐stage transport control emerges

Identification of Key Metabolites in Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid Production by Tuning γ-PGA Synthetase Expression

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) production is commonly achieved using glycerol, citrate, and L-glutamic acid as substrates. The constitutive expression of the γ-PGA synthetase enabled γ-PGA production with Bacillus subtilis from glucose only. The precursors
