Engineering the bacterial cellulose-forming surface as a programmable protein recruitment interface

This paper engineers the bacterial cellulose-forming surface to recruit proteins, creating functionalized biocomposites with improved material properties.

Non-ribosomal Peptides as Structural Determinants of Fungal Hydrophobicity

The paper identifies WARPs, cyclic non-ribosomal peptides, as structural determinants of fungal hydrophobicity, showing their role in maintaining surface hydrophobicity and aerial hyphae integrity.

Recombinant protein condensation inside E. coli enables the development of building blocks for bioinspired materials engineering - biomimetic spider silk protein as a case study

The paper shows that recombinant spider silk-mimetic protein forms liquid-like condensates in E. coli, which transition to solid-like states under acidic conditions, enabling bioinspired material development.

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation Protects Amyloidogenic and Aggregation-Prone Peptides in Heterologous Expression Systems

The paper uses liquid-liquid phase separation to protect amyloidogenic peptides from aggregation during expression and purification.

Analysis of Finnish blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) shell: Biomineral ultrastructure, organic-rich interfacial matrix and mechanical behavior

This study characterizes the ultrastructure, organic matrix, and mechanical properties of the shell of the Finnish blue mussel, revealing structural gradients and unique biomineralization features.

SUMO-based expression and purification of dermcidin-derived DCD-1L, a human antimicrobial peptide, in Escherichia coli

This study describes a method for producing and purifying the antimicrobial peptide DCD-1L using a SUMO tag system in E. coli, demonstrating its effectiveness for large-scale applications.
