Size of quorum sensing communities

Mol. BioSyst., 2014
Ensembles of bacteria are able to coordinate their phenotypic behavior in accordance with the size, density, and growth state of the ensemble. This is achieved through production and exchange of diffusible signal molecules in a cell-cell regulatory system termed quorum sensing.

Sugar Functionalized Collagen Material for Local Modulation of Innate Immunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Modulation of the innate immune response at the implant site can significantly influence adaptive immunity. A mannose‐functionalized collagen patch, termed the Local Immunotuning Patch (LIP), has been designed to engage mannose receptors on antigen‐presenting cells while exhibiting antibacterial properties. LIP orchestrates complex immune pathways that

Can the natural diversity of quorum sensing advance synthetic biology?

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2015
Quorum-sensing networks enable bacteria to sense and respond to chemical signals produced by neighboring bacteria. They are widespread: over one hundred morphologically and genetically distinct species of eubacteria are known to use quorum sensing to ...

Hosts and Commensal Bacteria Synergistically Antagonize Opportunistic Pathogens at the Single‐Cell Resolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the tripartite‐species model, Drosophila larvae stimulate lactate production through excreting digestion enzymes. S. marcescens population senses a cue of lactate and tends to diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with remarkable heterogeneity to metabolize carbon metabolism and counter colonization resistance, giving a fitness ...

Secondary Electron Hyperspectral Imaging of Carbons: New Insights and Good Practice Guide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Secondary hyperspectral imaging of carbon surfaces is assessed with reference materials and in comparison to standard spectroscopies. Characterization of functional carbon materials from battery research reveals otherwise inaccessible information about the distribution of sp2 and amorphous carbon, as shown in graphite anode and carbon coated lithium ...

Plant-Derived Natural Products as Sources of Anti-Quorum Sensing Compounds

Sensors, 2013
Quorum sensing is a system of stimuli and responses in relation to bacterial cell population density that regulates gene expression, including virulence determinants. Consequently, quorum sensing has been an attractive target for the development of novel

Glucose‐Responsive and Analgesic Gel for Diabetic Subcutaneous Abscess Treatment by Simultaneously Boosting Photodynamic Therapy and Relieving Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The work constructs a glucose‐triggered gel for diabetic abscess treatment. The results demonstrate that the gel catalyzes glucose into oxygen, alleviates the hypoxia, and ensures sufficient ROS generation to combat pathogenic bacteria. Simultaneously, borneol within the gel can enhance the antibacterial activity of ROS and alleviate pain in patients ...
