Carboxysomes are anabolic bacterial microcompartments that play an essential role in CO2 fixation in cyanobacteria. This self-assembling proteinaceous organelle uses a polyhedral shell constructed by hundreds of shell protein paralogs to encapsulate the key CO2-fixing enzymes Rubisco and carbonic anhydrase. Deciphering the precise arrangement and structural organization of Rubisco enzymes within carboxysomes is crucial for understanding carboxysome formation and overall functionality.

Pneumonia is a ubiquitous disease caused by viral and bacterial infections, characterized by high levels of reactive oxygen species in inflamed areas. Therapeutic strategies targeting reactive oxygen species levels in pneumonia have limited success due to the intricate nature of lung tissues and lung inflammatory responses. Here we describe an inhalable, non-invasive therapeutic platform composed of engineered cerium-based tannic acid nanozymes bound to a self-assembling peptide.

Nanovaccines have significantly contributed in the prevention and treatment of diseases. However, most of these technologies rely on chemical or hybrid semibiological synthesis methods, which limit the manufacturing performance advantages and improved inoculation outcomes compared with traditional vaccines. Herein, a universal and purely biological nanovaccine system is reported.

Accurate detection of multiple pathogens in the early stages of infection is critical for guiding treatment and saving patients' lives, but current methods are still challenged by low sensitivity, poor robustness and long turnaround times. Here, we report a CRISPR/dCas9-based hotspot self-assembling surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor (called dCasSERS) and its integration with a smartphone to address these challenges. In this design, bacterial DNA was pre-amplified by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and the repeat sequences of the amplicons were recognized by CRISPR/dCas9, providing abundant sites for the assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and forming numerous hotspots for SERS analysis.
