Covalently cross-linked gels are utilized in a broad range of biomedical applications though their synthesis often compromises easy implementation. Cross-linking reactions commonly utilize catalysts or conditions that can damage biologics and sensitive compounds, producing materials require extensive post processing to achieve acceptable biocompatibility. As an alternative, we report batch platform produce covalently appropriate for direct application enabled by green chemistry available...
Abstract Non‐adherence to medication is a major challenge in healthcare that results worsened treatment outcomes for patients. Reducing the frequency of required administrations could improve adherence but challenging topical drug delivery due generally short residence time formulations on skin. In this study, we sought determine feasibility developing microbiome‐based, long‐acting, platform using Bacillus subtilis production and skin, which was assessed green fluorescent protein as model...
Fungal skin infections are a common condition affecting 20–25 percent of the world population. While these conditions treatable with regular application an antifungal medication, we sought to develop more convenient, longer-lasting topical platform that could increase patient adherence treatment regimens by using Bacillus subtilis , naturally bacteria found on skin, for drug production and delivery. In this study, engineered B . increased lipopeptide iturin A overexpression pleiotropic...
