Biomaterial-associated infections represent a significant clinical problem, and treatment of these microbial infections is becoming troublesome due to the increasing number of antibiotic-resistant strains. Here, we report a naturally functionalized bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHACOS) with antibacterial properties. We demonstrate that PHACOS

A biodegradable poly(3-R-hydroxyalkanoate) synthesized by Pseudomonas mediterranea was investigated as a biomaterial to obtain colloidal drug delivery systems. Using a nanoprecipitation method, nanoparticles with a mean size of 155 nm and a negative surface charge were formed. They can be

The capability of octanoate, N-acetyl-L-tryptophanate (N-AcTrp) and other ions of fatty acids and amino acids to stabilize human serum albumin (HSA) against thermal and oxidative stress was studied. Native-PAGE showed that octanoate, and more hydrophobic fatty acids anions, stabilizes the

In addition to acetylation, histones are modified by a series of competing longer-chain acylations. Most of these acylation marks are enriched and co-exist with acetylation on active gene regulatory elements. Their seemingly redundant functions hinder our understanding of histone acylations'

Obesity is an established risk factor for cancer in many tissues. In the mammalian intestine, a pro-obesity high-fat diet (HFD) promotes regeneration and tumorigenesis by enhancing intestinal stem cell (ISC) numbers, proliferation, and function. Although PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor) nuclear
