Abstract
The self-assembly of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(trimethylene carbonate) PEG-b-PTMC copolymers into vesicles, also referred as polymersomes, was evaluated by solvent displacement using microfluidic systems. Two microfluidic chips with different flow regimes (micromixer and Herringbone) were used and the impact of process conditions on vesicle formation was evaluated. As polymersomes are sensitive to osmotic variations, their preparation under conditions allowing their direct use in biological medium is of major importance. We therefore developed a solvent exchange approach from DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) to aqueous media with an osmolarity of 300 mOsm.L-1, allowing their direct use for biological evaluation. We evidenced that the organic/aqueous solvent ratio does not impact vesicle size, but the total flow rate and copolymer concentration have been observed to influence the size of polymersomes. Finally, nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 76 nm to 224 nm were confirmed to be vesicles through the use of multi-angle light scattering in combination with cryo-TEM (Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy) characterization.

Abstract
Developing new biomaterials is an active research area owing to their applications in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and drug delivery. Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are good candidates for these applications because they are biosourced, biocompatible and biodegradable. With the aim of developing ELP-based micelles for drug delivery applications we have synthesized 15 acyl-ELP compounds by conjugating myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic or linoleic acid to the N-terminus of three ELPs differing in molar mass. The ELP-fatty acid conjugates have interesting solution behavior. They form micelles at low temperatures and aggregate above the cloud point temperature (Tcp). The critical micelle concentration depends on the fatty acid nature while the micelle size is mainly determined by the ELP block length. We were able to show that ELPs were better hydrated in the micelles than in their individual state in solution. The micelles are stable in phosphate-buffered saline at temperatures below the Tcp, which can vary between 20 °C and 38 °C depending on the length or hydrophilicity of the ELP. Acyl-ELP micelles were loaded with the small hydrophobic molecule Nile red. The encapsulation efficiency and release kinetics showed that the best loading conditions were achieved with the largest ELP conjugated to stearic acid.

Abstract
Nanoprecipitation is a facile and efficient approach to the assembly of loaded polymer nanoparticles (NPs) for applications in bioimaging and targeted drug delivery. Their successful use in clinics requires reproducible and scalable synthesis, for which microfluidics appears as an attractive technique. However, in the case of nanoprecipitation, particle formation depends strongly on mixing. Here, we compare 5 different types of microfluidic mixers with respect to the formation and properties of poly(d-l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) NPs loaded with a fluorescent dye salt: a cross-shaped mixer, a multilamination mixer, a split and recombine mixer, two herringbone mixers, and two impact jet mixers. Size and fluorescence properties of the NPs obtained with these mixers are evaluated. All mixers, except the cross-shaped one, yield NPs at least as small and fluorescent as those obtained manually. Notably in the case of impact jet mixers operated at high flow speeds, the size of the NPs could be strongly reduced from >50 nm down to <20 nm. Surprisingly, the fluorescence quantum yield of NPs obtained with these mixers also depends strongly on the flow speed, increasing, in the case of PLGA, from 30 to >70%. These results show the importance of precisely controlling the assembly conditions for loaded polymer NPs. The present work further provides guidance for choosing the optimal microfluidic setup for production of nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Resistance to antifungal therapy of Candida albicans and non-albicans Candida strains, frequently associated with oral candidosis, is on the rise. In this context, host-defense peptides have emerged as new promising candidates to overcome antifungal resistance. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness against Candida species of different Catestatin-derived peptides, as well as the combined effect with serum albumin. Among Catestatin-derived peptides, the most active against sensitive and resistant strains of C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata was the D-isomer of Cateslytin (D-bCtl) whereas the efficiency of the L-isomer (L-bCtl) significantly decreases against C. glabrata strains. Images obtained by transmission electron microscopy clearly demonstrated fungal membrane lysis and the leakage of the intracellular material induced by the L-bCtl and D-bCtl peptides. The possible synergistic effect of albumin on Catestatin-derived peptides activity was investigated too. Our finding showed that bovine serum albumin (BSA) when combined with the L- isomer of Catestatin (L-bCts) had a synergistic effect against Candida albicans especially at low concentrations of BSA; however, no synergistic effect was detected when BSA interacted with L-bCtl, suggesting the importance of the C-terminal end of L-bCts (GPGLQL) for the interaction with BSA. In this context in vitro D-bCtl, as well as the combination of BSA with L-bCts are potential candidates for the development of new antifungal drugs for the treatment of oral candidosis due to Candida and non-Candida albicans, without detrimental side effects.

Abstract
Inorganic materials used for biomedical applications such as implants generally induce the adsorption of proteins on their surface. To control this phenomenon, the bioinspired peptidomimetic polymer 1 (PMP1), which aims to reproduce the adhesion of mussel foot proteins, is commonly used to graft specific proteins on various surfaces and to regulate the interfacial mechanism. To date and despite its wide application, the elucidation at the atomic scale of the PMP1 mechanism of adsorption on surfaces is still unknown. The purpose of the present work was thus to unravel this process through experimental and computational investigations of adsorption of PMP1 on gold, TiO2, and SiO2 surfaces. A common mechanism of adsorption is identified for the adsorption of PMP1 which emphasizes the role of electrostatics to approach the peptide onto the surface followed by a full adhesion process where the entropic desolvation step plays a key role. Besides, according to the fact that mussel naturally controls the oxidation states of its proteins, further investigations were performed for two distinct redox states of PMP1, and we conclude that even if both states are able to allow interaction of PMP1 with the surfaces, the oxidation of PMP1 leads to a stronger interaction.

Abstract
Chromogranin A (CgA) is the precursor of several antimicrobial peptides, such as Catestatin (Cts, bovine CgA344-364), initially described as a potent inhibitor of catecholamines. This peptide displays direct antimicrobial activities and contributes to immune system regulation. The aim of the present study is to investigate a designed peptide based on Cts to fight infections against superbugs and more particularly Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to Cateslytin (Ctl, bovine CgA344-358), the active domain of Catestatin, several peptides including dimers, D-isomer and the new designed peptide DOPA-K-DOPA-K-DOPA-TLRGGE-RSMRLSFRARGYGFR (Dopa5T-Ctl) were prepared and tested. Cateslytin is resistant to bacterial degradation and does not induce bacterial resistance. The interaction of Catestatin with immune dermal cells (dendritic cells DC1a, dermal macrophages CD14 and macrophages) was analyzed by using confocal microscopy and cytokine release assay. The dimers and D-isomer of Ctl were tested against a large variety of bacteria showing the potent antibacterial activity of the D-isomer. The peptide Dopa5T-Ctl is able to induce the self-killing of S. aureus after release of Ctl by the endoprotease Glu-C produced by this pathogen. It permits localized on-demand delivery of the antimicrobial drug directly at the infectious site.

Abstract
Membrane structuration of Large Hybrid Unilamellar Polymer/Lipid Vesicle (LHUV) is an important parameter on the optimization of their properties and thus their valuation in various fields. However, this kind of information is hardly accessible. In this work, we will focus on the development of LHUV obtained from the self-assembly of diblock poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PDMS-b-PEO) of different molar masses combined with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) at 15% and 25% w/w content. The hybrid character of the resulting vesicles as well as their membrane structure are characterized by the mean of different techniques such as small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). We show that hybrid vesicles with homogeneous membrane structure are obtained whatever the molar mass of the block copolymer (from 2500 to 4000 g/mol), with of a small number of tubular structures observed with the higher molar mass. We also demonstrate that the permeability of the LHUV, evaluated through controlled release experiments of fluorescein loaded in LHUV, is essentially controlled by the lipid/polymer composition.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance in bacterial cells has motivated the scientific community to design new and efficient (bio)materials with targeted bacteriostatic and/or bactericide properties. In this work, a series of polyelectrolyte multilayer films differing in terms of polycation-polyanion combinations are constructed according to the layer-by-layer deposition method. Their capacities to host T4 and φx174 phage particles and maintain their infectivity and bacteriolytic activity are thoroughly examined. It is found that the macroscopic physicochemical properties of the films, which includes film thickness, swelling ratio, or mechanical stiffness (as derived by atomic force microscopy and spectroscopy measurements), do not predominantly control the selectivity of the films for hosting infective phages. Instead, it is evidenced that the intimate electrostatic interactions locally operational between the loaded phages and the polycationic and polyanionic PEM components may lead to phage activity reduction and preservation/enhancement, respectively. It is argued that the underlying mechanism involves the screening of the phage capsid receptors (operational in cell recognition/infection processes) because of the formation of either polymer-phage hetero-assemblies or polymer coating surrounding the bioactive phage surface.

Abstract
For in-dwelling implants, controlling the biological interface is a crucial parameter to promote tissue integration and prevent implant failure. For this purpose, one possibility is to facilitate the establishment of the interface with cell-laden hydrogels fixed to the implant. However, for proper functioning, the stability of the hydrogel on the implant should be ensured. Modification of implant surfaces with an adhesive represents a promising strategy to promote the adhesion of a cell-laden hydrogel on an implant. Herein, we developed a peptidic adhesive based on mussel foot protein (L-DOPA-L-lysine)2-L-DOPA that can be applied directly on the surface of an implant. At physiological pH, unoxidized (L-DOPA-L-lysine)2-L-DOPA was supposed to strongly adhere to metallic surfaces but it only formed a very thin coating (less than 1 nm). Once oxidized at physiological pH, (L-DOPA-L-lysine)2-L-DOPA forms an adhesive coating about 20 nm thick. In oxidized conditions, L-lysine can adhere to metallic substrates via electrostatic interaction. Oxidized L-DOPA allows the formation of a coating through self-polymerization and can react with amines so that this adhesive can be used to fix extra-cellular matrix based materials on implant surfaces through the reaction of quinones with amino groups. Hence, a stable interface between a soft gelatin hydrogel and metallic surfaces was achieved and the strength of adhesion was investigated. We have shown that the adhesive is non-cytotoxic to encapsulated cells and enabled the adhesion of gelatin soft hydrogels for 21 days on metallic substrates in liquid conditions. The adhesion properties of this anchoring peptide was quantified by a 180° peeling test with a more than 60% increase in peel strength in the presence of the adhesive. We demonstrated that by using a biomimetic adhesive, for the application of cell-laden hydrogels to metallic implant surfaces, the hydrogel/implant interface can be ensured without relying on the properties of the deposited biomaterials.

Abstract
Slices from human neocortex preincubated with [3H]serotonin ([3H]5-HT) were superfused and stimulated electrically to investigate whether the alpha 2-adrenoceptors on serotonergic terminals can be stimulated by endogenous noradrenaline (NA) released from neighboring noradrenergic fibers. The stimulation-evoked 3H overflow, representing action potential-induced, exocytotic release of 5-HT, was depressed by the NA uptake blocker (+)-oxaprotiline. Rauwolscine (a mixed alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist/5-HT autoreceptor agonist) or phentolamine [a combined alpha-adrenoceptor/5-HT autoreceptor antagonist; the latter drug in the presence of (+)-oxaprotiline] enhanced the release when the 5-HT autoreceptors had previously been blocked by metitepine. Under hypothermia the release of 5-HT was found to be decreased and that of NA to be increased; under these conditions idazoxan (an alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist) enhanced the release of 5-HT. In neocortex slices from rats (+)-oxaprotiline similarly depressed the release of 5-HT (measured with the same methods) as in human tissue. When rats were pretreated with 6-hydroxydopamine, the inhibitory effect of exogenous NA on 5-HT release was increased, and in slices from rats pretreated with desipramine, it was decreased. In conclusion, alpha 2-heteroreceptors can be activated by endogenous NA released from neighboring noradrenergic fibers. Because regulatory processes analogous to those in rats probably occur in humans as well, an up- or down-regulation of alpha 2-heteroreceptors in depressed patients with a (pathological) decrease or a (therapeutic) enhancement of the noradrenergic neurotransmission may also be assumed to occur.

Abstract
Mutants separately resistant to novobiocin, coumermycin, nalidixic acid, and oxolinic acid contained gyrase activity as measured in vitro that was resistant to the antibiotics, indicating that the mutations represented structural alterations of the enzyme. One Novr mutant contained an altered B subunit of the enzyme, as judged by the ability of a plasmid, pNov1, containing the mutation to complement a temperature-sensitive gyrase B mutation in Escherichia coli and to cause novobiocin resistance in that strain. Three other Novr mutations did not confer antibiotic resistance to the gyrase but appeared to increase the amount of active enzyme in the cell. One of these, novB1, could only act in cis, whereas a new mutation, novC, could act in trans. An RNA polymerase mutation partially substituted for the novB1 mutation, suggesting that novB1 may be a mutation in a promoter region for the B subunit gene. Growth responses of strains containing various combinations of mutations on plasmids or on the chromosome indicated that low-level resistance to novobiocin or coumermycin may have resulted from multiple copies of wild-type genes coding for the gyrase B subunit, whereas high-level resistance required a structural change in the gyrase B gene and was also dependent on alteration in a regulatory region. When there was mismatch at the novB locus, with the novB1 mutation either on a plasmid or the chromosome, and the corresponding wild-type gene present in trans, chromosome to plasmid recombination during transformation was much higher than when the genes matched, probably because plasmid to chromosome recombination, eliminating the plasmid, was inhibited by the mismatch.

Abstract
The Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-transformed rat cell line RSV-NRK-2 contains a single complete RSV provirus. We have obtained recombinant lambda clones that contain both ends of the RSV provirus and the flanking rat sequences. The provirus is integrated in unique DNA and is present in only one of the two homologous chromosomes. The rat sequences into which the RSV provirus integrated were also cloned from the RSV-NRK-2 cell line. The sequences of the regions involved in the recombination event have been determined and compared. Our data suggest that, compared with the sequence of viral DNA in the large circular form of unintegrated viral DNA, the provirus lacks two base pairs at each end and that the provirus is flanked by a six-base-pair direct repeat of cellular DNA. This six-base-pair repeat was apparently created during the integration event because this sequence was present only once at the integration site before the provirus was inserted. A survey of eight other independent RSV transformed rat cell lines demonstrates that, in agreement with earlier results, the RSV proviruses have entered different segments of rat cell DNA. We have also determined the sequence of a second virus DNA-host cell DNA junction from a second RSV-transformed rat cell line (RSV-NRK-4) and find that there are no obvious similarities between the two integration sites or between the integration sites and the termini of viral DNA.
