Physicists at @McMasterScience have identified a natural delivery system that uses red blood cells to safely carry potent antibiotics through the body to selectively attack and kill dangerous bacteria. ow.ly/ORTu50Lr7BW

This is a red blood cell repurposed to deliver #antibiotics to kill #ecoli #bacteria-the band of lines beneath it. Tests are underway to see if it’s another way to get medications into us. @MACBiophysics @MacGlobalNexus #pharmaceuticals

"It’s an important alternative because it’s not an mRNA vaccine; it’s an engineered vaccine, and many people might feel more comfortable and safer using this.” @McMasterScience's Maikel Rheinstadter on new research into a red blood cell COVID vaccine. | bit.ly/3JdoKPG

The skin of bacteria has three layers. Depending on the type of bacteria the thickness of each layer varies. Knowing the exact structure of these layers is important when designing antibiotics as these drugs need to penetrate this barrier.

Cell membranes are very selective permeable barriers that allow the cell and the organelles to control their metabolism.

Cell membranes are thin... Extremely thin. They typically measure 5-10 nanometer. This is 10,000 times thinner than a piece of paper.

Cells, viruses and bacteria have very unique proteins on their surface. They are like a barcode that helps identifying the organism.

The first observation of cell membranes dates back to 1665 when Robert Hooke suggested the idea of cells as building blocks of organisms.

Many molecules effect lipid bilayers and the membrane is very sensitive to smallest concentrations. Aspirin for instance sits in the headgroup of the bilayer.

Membranes are not only used as skin of the cell but also separate the organelles.
