Deciphering the mystery of the self-adhesive family of Antigen 43 proteins

We characterised three Antigen 43 (Ag43) proteins from Escherichia coli strains responsible for urinary tract infections (UTI) and foodborne diseases. The homologues revealed different biofilm and aggregation profiles, which determine the level of bacterial compacting and protection within a biofilm

Synthesis of fluorescent organic nano-dots and their application as efficient color conversion layers

Color conversion layers (CCLs) are essential components of numerous contemporary display and lighting technologies. Organic nanomaterials are capable of very competitive performance in this context. We present a new approach to develop CCLs in light-emitting diodes using organic "nano-dots".
