Beyond PEGylation: Archaeal Lipids for Long‐Circulating Liposomes
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Archaeal lipid‐based liposomes, particularly those containing caldarchaeol (GDGT), were found to significantly prolong the circulation time of vancomycin in rats, matching the pharmacokinetic properties of PEGylated systems. These findings suggest archaeal lipids as promising non‐PEG excipients for parenteral applications to minimize drug clearance ...

Controlled Delivery and Light‐Induced Release of Magic Spot Nucleotides in Escherichia coli
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.We synthesized photocaged, clickable and isotope‐labeled “magic spot” Nucleotides and delivered them into Escherichia coli comparing different approaches. Light‐controlled release inside living cells enabled tracking of their conversion from pppGpp to ppGpp by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry and revealed their impact on the growth rate of a
