A bioinspired sono-immunotherapeutic nanocapturer to protect us from multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
Polymers to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Infections
Antimicrobial polymers as a promising alternative to traditional antibiotic treatments.
Bacteria that Eats Pollutants and Breathes Electricity
US scientists have found bacteria that converts toxic pollutants into less harmful substances, while generating electricity in the process.
Antibacterial Nanogel-based Textiles
Guanidine-based nanogels for durable antibacterial and bacterially antiadhesive textiles.
A Bacteria-Based Coating for Engineering Stem Cells [Video]
Non-pathogenic bacteria can colonize different surfaces to help direct human stem cells to bone cells.
Noncanonical Features and Modifications on the 5′‐End of Bacterial sRNAs and mRNAs
Although many eukaryotic transcripts contain cap structures, it has been long thought that bacterial RNAs do not carry any special modifications on their 5′‐ends. In bacteria, primary transcripts are produced by transcription initiated with a nucleoside triphosphate and are therefore triphosphorylated on 5′‐ends.
Bacteria Produce Electric Current from Sugar
Intestinal bacteria can create an electric current, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden.
Hfq brings Speed Dating to Bacterial sRNA
The chaperone Hfq speeds up match-making between small regulatory RNA and mRNA in bacteria, helping bacteria respond to stress or changed growth conditions.
Chloride and Plasma: An Antibacterial Match?
A team of Chinese researchers investigated the plasma-induced inactivation behavior of several bacteria without and with the presence of chloride.
Biocatalysis with Trapped Bacteria
Bacteria trapped inside porous beads function as efficient living biocatalysts and can be assembled to perform preprogrammed sequences of reactions.
