Programmable bacteria detect and record an environmental signal in the mammalian gut

JW Kotula, SJ Kerns, LA Shaket… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
The mammalian gut is a dynamic community of symbiotic microbes that interact with the host
to impact health, disease, and metabolism. We constructed engineered bacteria that survive …

Engineered bacteria can function in the mammalian gut long-term as live diagnostics of inflammation

…, MJ Niederhuber, RT Bronson, JW Kotula… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Bacteria can be engineered to function as diagnostics or therapeutics in the mammalian gut
but commercial translation of technologies to accomplish this has been hindered by the …

An engineered E. coli Nissle improves hyperammonemia and survival in mice and shows dose-dependent exposure in healthy humans

…, MR Charbonneau, VM Isabella, JW Kotula… - Science translational …, 2019 - science.org
The intestine is a major source of systemic ammonia (NH 3 ); thus, capturing part of gut NH
3 may mitigate disease symptoms in conditions of hyperammonemia such as urea cycle …

Aptamer-mediated delivery of splice-switching oligonucleotides to the nuclei of cancer cells

JW Kotula, ED Pratico, X Ming, O Nakagawa… - Nucleic acid …, 2012 - liebertpub.com
To reduce the adverse effects of cancer therapies and increase their efficacy, new delivery
agents that specifically target cancer cells are needed. We and others have shown that …

[HTML][HTML] A distributed cell division counter reveals growth dynamics in the gut microbiota

C Myhrvold, JW Kotula, WM Hicks, NJ Conway… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Microbial population growth is typically measured when cells can be directly observed, or
when death is rare. However, neither of these conditions hold for the mammalian gut …

[HTML][HTML] Targeted disruption of β-arrestin 2-mediated signaling pathways by aptamer chimeras leads to inhibition of leukemic cell growth

JW Kotula, J Sun, M Li, ED Pratico, MP Fereshteh… - PLoS …, 2014 - journals.plos.org
<p>β-arrestins, ubiquitous cellular scaffolding proteins that act as signaling mediators of
numerous critical cellular pathways, are attractive therapeutic targets because they promote …

Long-term monitoring of inflammation in the mammalian gut using programmable commensal bacteria

…, SJ Kerns, MJ Niederhuber, RT Bronson, JW Kotula… - BioRxiv, 2016 - biorxiv.org
Inflammation in the gut, caused by infection and autoimmunity, remains challenging to
effectively detect, monitor, and treat. Here, we engineer a commensal mouse E. coli strain to …

Achieving Cell-Specific Delivery of Multiple Oligonucleotide Therapeutics with Aptamer Chimeras

JW Kotula - 2012 - search.proquest.com
Advances in antibody and aptamer technology have enabled researchers to design those
molecules to bind specifically to cancer cells, and deliver drugs that alter specific cellular …

A cure kinetics investigation of amine-cured epoxy by Rheo-Raman spectroscopy

AP Kotula, JW Woodcock, JW Gilman, GA Holmes - Polymer, 2023 - Elsevier
In a companion paper, fluorescence lifetime imaging revealed a heterogeneous morphology
at macroscopic and molecular length scales in a bis-epoxide blend composed of diglycidyl …

A frequency-dependent effective medium model for the rheology of crystallizing polymers

A Kotula - Journal of rheology, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
The rheology of crystallizing polymers is critical to polymer processing, but our current
understanding of how crystallinity affects rheology during crystallization is lacking. The challenge …
