Deletion of core septin gene aspB in Aspergillus fumigatus results in fungicidal activity of caspofungin

This study shows that deletion of the septin gene aspB in Aspergillus fumigatus makes it susceptible to the fungistatic drug caspofungin, converting it to a fungicidal effect.

Incorporation of active cell-free expression lysates in chitosan coated alginate microcapsules

This paper demonstrates that chitosan-coated alginate microcapsules can protect cell-free gene expression lysates and proteins from degradation in the GI tract and enable controlled release in simulated intestinal conditions.
