Cell microencapsulation with synthetic polymers [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2014 AbstractThe encapsulation of cells into polymeric microspheres or microcapsules has permitted the transplantation of cells into human and animal subjects without the need for immunosuppressants. Cell‐based therapies use donor cells to provide sustained release of a therapeutic product, such as insulin, and have shown promise in treating a variety of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Mathematical modelling and non-linear analysis of Synthetic Gene Regulatory Networks [PDF]
, 2010 The emerging discipline of Synthetic biology can be defined as the engineering of biology. The usefulness of a model in Synthetic biology lies in its ability to formalise the knowledge about the biological process at hand, to identify inconsistencies ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Skin TLR7 triggering promotes accumulation of respiratory dendritic cells and natural killer cells. [PDF]
, 2012 The TLR7 agonist imiquimod has been used successfully as adjuvant for skin treatment of virus-associated warts and basal cell carcinoma. The effects of skin TLR7 triggering on respiratory leukocyte populations are unknown.

Coacervate Droplets for Synthetic Cells
Small Methods, 2023 Abstract The design and construction of synthetic cells – human‐made microcompartments that mimic features of living cells – have experienced a real boom in the past decade. While many efforts have been geared toward assembling membrane‐bounded compartments, coacervate droplets produced by liquid–liquid phase separation have emerged ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
