Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

iChip

iChip

The cultivation of environmental microorganisms has long been hindered by the inability to replicate complex native conditions in vitro. The isolation chip (iChip) addresses this limitation by facilitating the growth of previously uncultivable microorganisms through in situ incubation. Designed for high-throughput microbial cultivation, the iChip comprises hundreds of microchambers, each capable of housing a single microbial cell. These microchambers are loaded with a mixture of molten agar and...

Microbial Biosensors

Microbial Biosensors

Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...

Background:

Designing materials with controllable adaptive shapes for environmental interaction is challenging.
Existing methods lack fine-grained control over multi-dimensional shape modulation.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel category of strain-engineered dynamic-shape materials.
To demonstrate the fabrication and application of 4D metamaterials with adaptive microarchitectures.

Main Methods:

Utilized micro-origami tessellation technology to create strategic creases with stimuli-responsive micro-hinges.
Engineered heterogeneous materials capable of precise shape morphing upon chemical and electrical cues.

Main Results:

Demonstrated freestanding foldable packages, auxetic mesosurfaces, and morphable cages using these 4D metamaterials.
Integrated these systems into bioelectronic devices, including a soft foldable supercapacitor with enhanced power density (≈108 mW cm⁻²) and a bio-adaptive device.

Conclusions:

These intelligent material systems are suitable for ultra-flexible 4D microelectronics.
