Described herein are systems, assays, methods and compositions for identification of oxidase microbial redox-enzymes (MREs) specific to an analyte of interest from an environmental source. The technology relates to identification of analyte-responsive MREs that can quantify the concentration of a target analyte with high specificity and high sensitivity, for example, where the identified analyte-responsive redox-enzyme can be used to engineer an electrochemical biosensor.

Provided is a chemically modified phage display platform and method of use thereof. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a chemically modified phage display library that incorporates 2-acetylphenylboronic acid (APBA) moieties to elicit dynamic covalent binding to the bacterial cell surface. The APBA-modified phage display libraries described herein are applicable to a wide array of bacterial strains and/or mammalian cells, paving the way to facile diagnosis and development of strain-specific antibiotics, and/or peptide-antibiotic conjugates for effective and targeted treatment. Also provided are therapeutic peptides, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, that are identified by screening the phage display library of the present disclosure, and method of use of such therapeutic peptides for effective and targeted treatment.

An atlas of intestinal epithelial cells, intestinal epithelial stem cells and intestinal immune cells identifies new cell populations, markers, networks, and responses to stimuli. Intestinal epithelial cell sub-types are also found in the trachea. Accordingly, disclosed are methods of modulating epithelial cell differentiation, maintenance and/or function, related methods for the treatment of disease, including IBD and asthma. Also disclosed are methods and kits for identifying cell types, their differentiation, homeostasis and activation.
