Adsorbable and Antimicrobial Amphiphilic Block Copolymers with Enhanced Biocompatibility

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Permanently implanted biomaterials are prone to attract microorganisms and thus represent niches for infections in vivo. Absorbable, antimicrobial polymers have emerged as a promising option. To improve the compatibility of adsorbable antimicrobial polymers with human cells, the block composition of the polycationic segment is modified regarding the ...

Unlocking Probiotic Potential: Physicochemical Approaches to Evaluate Probiotic Bacterial Adhesion Potential to the Intestinal Tract

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
From the oral cavity to the establishment of bacterial adhesion in the intestinal tract, probiotic cells traverse 4 main stages: (1) bacterial transport, (2) reversible adhesion, (3) irreversible adhesion, and (4) biofilm formation. Each stage involves distinct mechanisms that govern the adhesion potential of bacteria to the intestinal mucus, which ...

General mechanisms for a top–down origin of the predator–prey power law

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The ratio of predator‐to‐prey biomass density is not constant along ecological gradients: denser ecosystems tend to have fewer predators per prey, following a scaling relation known as the ‘predator–prey power law'. The origin of this surprisingly general pattern, particularly its connection with environmental factors and predator–prey dynamics, is ...
