Effect of Autoinducer-2 Quorum Sensing Inhibitor on Interspecies Quorum Sensing
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Bacterial drug resistance caused by overuse and misuse of antibiotics is common, especially in clinical multispecies infections. It is of great significance to discover novel agents to treat clinical bacterial infections. Studies have demonstrated that autoinducer-2 (AI-2), a signal molecule in quorum sensing (QS), plays an important role in ...

The Effects of Quorum Sensing Molecules on Streptococcus mutans Biofilm [PDF]
, 2022 The use of quorum quenching (QQ) molecules to prevent biofilm formation has recently gained momentum. Interrupting the quorum sensing (QS) pathways of cariogenic bacteria like Streptococcus mutans could reduce the formation of dental plaque on teeth ...

Near‐Infrared Light‐Driven Zn/Au Janus Micromotors for Multiplex SERS Detection of Anticancer Drugs
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Zn/Au Janus micromotors, propelled by thermophoretic effects under NIR light, function as active SERS platforms for single and multiplex detection of anticancer drugs. Their dynamic motion enhances analyte exchange at the Au interface, reducing saturation and competitive adsorption, thereby improving sensitivity and extending the linear detection range.

Quorum sensing : understanding the role of bacteria in meat spoilage [PDF]
, 2010 Quorum sensing is a fundamental process to all of microbiology since it is ubiquitous in the bacterial world, where bacterial cells communicate with each other using low molecular weight signal molecules called autoinducers.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...
