This study introduces a valuable spring-bead model for epithelial cell layers, designed to improve previous cell-resolved approaches and to understand the connection between the biophysics of ...

Two life forms living together helped spark the evolution of all complex life. By learning to appreciate this process more ...

Image shows the paths of individual bacterial cells swimming (blue-slow, turquoise faster) within channels between 10 micrometre high topological features (outlined in yellow). Scientists at the ...

Now, the researchers want to find drugs that could stand in for fucose, but could not be metabolized by bacterial or human cells. "We won't have to put so much sugar in the system," explained Davies. ...

Most people have encountered the black, gray, or pink stains of bacterial biofilms built up on the bathroom tiles or kitchen sink. Even with vigorous scrubbing and strong cleaning chemicals, this ...

In this process, cancer cells receive multiple copies of the genome. This in turn increases genetic complexity, allowing cells to adapt more quickly and develop resistance mechanisms against drugs.

TITLE: Mathematical Model Development and 3D Printing of Cylindrically Shaped Biofilm Carrier Media from Recycled Plastic Waste for Wastewater Treatment AUTHORS: Selamo Basile Nyuysoni, James M. Mutua ...

The intensification of global warming could precipitate the widespread dissemination of opportunistic pathogens, exerting a bidirectional strain on wildlife populations and potentially hastening the ...

His experiment started with a small colony of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria growing on an agar plate in his lab — a small, whitish dot, roughly the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

EZ-Spread™ Plating Beads from AMSBIO (Oxford, UK) allow you to spread bacterial and yeast cells across the surface of an agar plate in just seconds. Eliminating the traditional need for glass rods and ...

Image depicts the outlines of bacterial cells with green fluorescence highlighting a lack of magnesium. Studying a ribosome variant within Bacillus subtilis called “L22,” the researchers found that ...

The key advantage of this technique is isolating and cultivating slow growing bacterial cells, which would have been difficult to culture conventionally. “We are getting better and better at designing ...
