We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.

A Cholesterol Analogue for Cell‐Surface Enzyme Display
We report a non‐genetic strategy for bacterial cell surface enzyme immobilisation using cholesterol‐based artificial lipids containing Ni2+‐NTA binding groups that can integrate into biological membranes. The engineered cells can capture His‐tagged enzymes directly from cell lysates while preserving intracellular and surface activity, allowing for ...

Safety and Feasibility of Magnetic Separation‐Based Blood Purification
We present the preclinical biological safety and translational feasibility of a magnetic nanoparticle‐based extracorporeal blood purification platform for removal of disease‐causing blood factors. ISO 10993‐compliant studies and exaggerated worst‐case exposure models demonstrate efficient nanoparticle extraction (≥99.9%), favorable biocompatibility ...

Structural and Functional Siderophore Remodeling by Enzymatic Delipidation
A surprising functional switch in bacterial siderophores was discovered through genome mining and the analysis of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species. Pandorachelin B, a lipocyclopeptide that promotes swarming motility, is cleaved by a specialized acylase, yielding a ring‐contracted, homodetic cyclopeptide, pandorachelin A, which exhibits ...

Here, we enhance the electrochemiluminescence imaging of cellular spheroids using [Ru(bpy)3]2+/TPrA chemistry. Our strategy, which involves pre‐incubation with TPrA, enables high‐resolution, long‐term visualization of cellular spheroids without phototoxicity.

Coupling biosynthetic noncanonical amino acid production with genetic code expansion enables site‐specific incorporation of azatryptophans into PET‐degrading enzymes (PETases). By isosteric single‐atom editing of a conserved tryptophan, AzaPETases break the activity–stability trade‐off, delivering higher catalytic efficiency at elevated temperature and
