Engineering serendipity: High-throughput discovery of materials that resist bacterial attachment.

UNLABELLED Controlling the colonisation of materials by microorganisms is important in a wide range of industries and clinical settings. To date, the underlying mechanisms that govern the interactions of bacteria with material surfaces remain poorly understood, limiting the ab initio design and engineering of biomaterials to control bacterial attachment. Combinatorial approaches involving high-...

pH-Sensitive Resist Materials for Combined Photolithographic Patterning of Proteins and Fluid Lipid Bilayers

Photolithography of a pH-sensitive photoresist polymer was performed to pattern both lipid bilayers and proteins onto the same surface. The motivation behind this was to create a substrate mimicking an array of antigenpresenting cells. The substrate would consist of signaling ligand, biotin antiCD3, bound to a lipid bilayer in a regular array of patches. The fluidity of the lipid bilayer would ...

Does Life resist desynchronisation?

Does resistin resist insulin?

Diabetes remains one of the oldest diseases all over the world and is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in human populations. The pathology is a consequence of a lack of insulin or resistance to insulin, resulting in an increase in blood glucose levels. Resistance to insulin is an important risk factor in the industrial world and is often associated with obesity. Taking the proportions...
