Engineering Modular Viral Scaffolds for Targeted Bacterial Population Editing.
Bacteria are central to human health and disease, but existing tools to edit microbial consortia are limited. For example, broad-spectrum antibiotics are unable to accurately manipulate bacterial communities. Bacteriophages can provide highly specific targeting of bacteria, but assembling well-defined phage cocktails solely with natural phages can be a time-, labor- and cost-intensive process. ...
متن کاملTitle: Engineering Modular Viral Scaffolds for Targeted Bacterial Population Editing
SUMMARY 15 Bacteria are central to human health and disease, but the tools available for modulating and 16 editing bacterial communities are limited. New technologies for tuning microbial populations 17 would facilitate the targeted manipulation of the human microbiome and treatment of bacterial 18 infections. For example, antibiotics are often broad spectrum in nature and cannot be used to 19 ...
متن کاملAligned and random nanofibrous nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
Aligned and random nanocomposite nanofibrous scaffolds were electrospun from polycaprolactone (PCL), poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA). The morphology and mechanical characteristics of the nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy revealed fibers with an average diameter of 123 ± 3...
متن کاملBacterial Cellular Engineering by Genome Editing and Gene Silencing
Genome editing is an important technology for bacterial cellular engineering, which is commonly conducted by homologous recombination-based procedures, including gene knockout (disruption), knock-in (insertion), and allelic exchange. In addition, some new recombination-independent approaches have emerged that utilize catalytic RNAs, artificial nucleases, nucleic acid analogs, and peptide nuclei...
متن کاملBiomaterial scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Reconstruction and regeneration of new tissues are challenges facing scientists, technologists and clinicians. This review describes strategies of selection and design of biomaterials having significant impact on various possible synthesis routes for scaffold fabrication. The criteria for three-dimensional (3D) scaffold architectures are explored in tandem with biomaterial properties such as po...
