Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Manuka honey as a non-antibiotic alternative against Staphylococcus spp. and their small colony variant (SCVs) phenotypes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The antibiotic resistance (ABR) crisis is an urgent global health priority. Staphylococci are among the problematic bacteria contributing to this emergency owing to their recalcitrance to many clinically important antibiotics. Staphylococcal pathogenesis

Multiscale Hybrid Surface Topographies Orchestrate Immune Regulation, Antibacterial Defense, and Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid wrinkled topographies coordinate immune, tissue, and bacterial interactions. The surfaces promote osteointegration, tune macrophage polarization, and inhibit biofilm formation, highlighting a multifunctional strategy for next‐generation implant design.

Beyond Bioactive Glass Composition: Using Morphology to Improve in Vitro and in Vivo Performance

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bioactive glasses can easily be shaped into granules, spheres, discs, fibers, or three‐dimensional scaffolds. The resulting morphology not only affects handling properties; it has a direct influence on various glass properties, including results of acellular immersion experiments or in vitro studies with cells or bacteria, but also on in vivo ...

Staphylococcus aureus Internalized by Skin Keratinocytes Evade Antibiotic Killing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Staphylococcus aureus causes the majority of skin and soft tissue infections. Half of patients treated for primary skin infections suffer recurrences within 6 months despite appropriate antibiotic sensitivities and infection control measures.

Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid: A Gateway for Targeted Killing of Staphylococcus aureus on the Race for Surface Colonization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Thiolated hyaluronic acid (HAMS) synthesized and characterized by NMR, solubility, thiol content, and pKa, is degraded by Staphylococcal hyaluronate lyase but not by mammalian hyaluronidase. Coating polyphosphate–M23 phage endolysin nanoparticles (M23‐PP) with HAMS confers Staphylococcus aureus responsiveness.
