Kombucha Bacterial Cellulose Obtained from Tea Fermentation for Biomedical Applications

Abstract The symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) driving kombucha tea fermentation produces a cellulose pellicle with remarkable promise for biomedical applications. Unlike well-studied bacterial cellulose (BC), which is produced by single-strain cultures, the underex...

Surface Functionalization of Small Extracellular VesiclesDerived from Caco-2 and HEK293T Cells in the Neutralizationof Shiga Toxin 1 Subunit B

Abstract Shiga toxins (Stx) are key virulence factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), which are responsible for severe foodborne infections that can progress to hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). Currently, no specific antitoxin therapies are available. In this st...
