Quorum quenching: Signal jamming in dental plaque biofilms
Journal of Dental Sciences, 2016 Quorum sensing helps bacteria to communicate with each other and in coordinating their behavior. Many diseases of humans, plants, and animals are mediated by communication called quorum sensing.

COFs on MOFs: Layer‐by‐Layer Synthesis of MOF@COF Nanoparticles with Synergistic Adsorption
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A layer‐by‐layer strategy enables the growth of crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) shells on metal–organic framework nanoparticles, creating core–shell structures with tunable porosity. Ordered interstitial mesopores are formed during shell growth, which are connected with the COF's intrinsic micropores, thereby enhancing water sorption. This

A quorum sensing-disrupting brominated thiophenone with a promising therapeutic potential to treat luminescent vibriosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Vibrio harveyi is amongst the most important bacterial pathogens in aquaculture. Novel methods to control this pathogen are needed since many strains have acquired resistance to antibiotics.

Quorum-Sensing Signals and Quorum-Sensing Genes in Burkholderia vietnamiensis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2002 ABSTRACT Acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum sensing is common to many Proteobacteria including a clinical isolate of Burkholderia cepacia . The B. cepacia isolate produces low levels of octanoyl-HSL. We have examined an environmental isolate of

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work reports a direct, biocompatible method to synthesize UiO‐66, enabling one‐step encapsulation of proteins without compromising crystallinity or activity. Using advanced in situ and ex situ techniques, the study reveals that proteins integrate concurrently with MOF growth, forming crystalline protein@UiO‐66 nanoparticles, and provide insight ...

Multilayered Digital Microfluidic Chip for Cell‐Based Assays
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A multilayered digital microfluidic (mDMF) chip architecture is introduced to improve throughput and robustness in cell‐based assays. By multilayering electrode components and dielectric layers on glass, this design significantly reduces actuation voltage, maintains reliability, and enables expansion of the operational area with minimum current leakage.
