Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

Biofilms are complex, three-dimensional structures of living bacteria embedded in a slimy matrix. "In Vibrio cholerae, the cholera-causing pathogen, even a brief exposure to cell wall fragments ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

They found that anodic porous alumina (APA) surfaces prepared using electrochemistry in concentrated sulfuric acid had unprecedented resistance to bacterial growth, but did not hamper cell cultures.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Engineered bacteria have been developed to biodegrade polyethylene terephthalate (PET) microplastics in wastewater. These bacteria, modified to share genetic ...
