Journal ArticleDOI
Improved functionalization of oleic acid-coated iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications
TL;DR: A novel method is presented, which introduces ultrasonication as an energy source to dramatically accelerate the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups onto the particles’ surface, resulting in high-quality water-dispersible nanoparticles around 10 nm in size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type I signal peptidases of Gram-positive bacteria
Maarten L. van Roosmalen,Nick Geukens,Jan D. H. Jongbloed,Harold Tjalsma,Jean-Yves F. Dubois,Sierd Bron,Jan Maarten van Dijl,Jozef Anné +7 more
TL;DR: This review is focused on the signal peptidases of Gram-positive bacteria, Bacillus and Streptomyces species in particular, and examines their role in the biotechnologically important process of protein secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of proposed human B-1 cells reveals pre-plasmablast phenotype
Kris Covens,Bert Verbinnen,Nick Geukens,Isabelle Meyts,Frans Schuit,Leentje Van Lommel,Marc Jacquemin,Xavier Bossuyt +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the putative B-1 cells were characterized and compared directly with memory B cells and plasmablasts for several functional characteristics, including functional phenotype and gene expression profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twin-arginine translocation pathway in Streptomyces lividans.
Kristien Schaerlaekens,Michaela Schierová,Elke Lammertyn,Nick Geukens,Jozef Anné,Lieve Van Mellaert +5 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that also in general in Streptomyces spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia-1 tatB and tatC affect intracellular replication and biofilm formation.
Emmy De Buck,Liesbeth Maes,Eef Meyen,Lieve Van Mellaert,Nick Geukens,Jozef Anné,Elke Lammertyn +6 more
TL;DR: Functionality of the Tat pathway was shown using a proven heterologous Tat substrate, and it was shown that tatB and tatC are involved in intracellular replication in Acanthamoeba castellanii and differentiated U937 cells, and in biofilm forming ability.
