Glyconanomaterials for biosensing applications.
Nanomaterials constitute a class of structures that have unique physiochemical properties and are excellent scaffolds for presenting carbohydrates, important biomolecules that mediate a wide variety of important biological events. The fabrication of carbohydrate-presenting nanomaterials, glyconanomaterials, is of high interest and utility, combining the features of nanoscale objects with biomol...
متن کاملOpportunities for glyconanomaterials in personalized medicine.
In this feature article we discuss the particular relevance of glycans as components or targets of functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) for potential applications in personalized medicine but we will not enter into descriptions for their preparation. For a more general view covering the preparation and applications of glyconanomaterials the reader is referred to a number of recent reviews. The co...
متن کاملStrategies for combating persister cell and biofilm infections
Bacterial cells are constantly exposed to environmental stress; for example, almost all cells must endure starvation, and antimicrobials, of course, are administered to kill bacteria. These stressed cells enter a resting state known as persistence in which they become tolerant to nearly all antibiotics without undergoing genetic change. These dormant cells survive courses of antibiotics, as ant...
متن کاملCombating implant infections. Remarks by a women's team.
Research on implant infections requires cooperative efforts and integration between basic and clinical expertises. An international group of women scientists is acting together in this field. The main research topics of the participants of this group are described. Formation of bacterial biofilms, antibiotic resistance and production of virulence factors like adhesins and toxins are investigate...
متن کاملAre we any closer to combating Ebola infections?
In March, 2009, a scientist working in a highcontainment laboratory in Germany pricked herself with a needle that had just been used to infect a mouse with the Ebola virus. Although rare, similar laboratory accidents with Ebola virus have been reported in the UK (1976), USA (2004), and Russia (2004), of which the one in Russia was fatal. Additionally, there have been at least three exposures to...
