To develop the GBA chip system, we co-culture multiple human cells: gut EP, brain EC, neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, in a three-chamber platform connected via microchannels for interfacing and ...

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school. Neel Joshi, a ...

Cell-to-cell variability often limits the efficiency of microbial bioproduction, yet how individual cells fluctuate over time and how these fluctuations shape population-level output remain unclear.

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

The research is published in Science Signaling and opens a new window of understanding into proteins that have long been overshadowed by research focused on other components of the bacterial cell. The ...

Researchers have, for the first time, estimated how quickly E. coli bacteria can spread between people — and one strain moves as fast as swine flu. Using genomic data from the UK and Norway, ...

A new study shows that ordinary painkillers, when taken alongside antibiotics, can drive dangerous mutations in bacteria, revealing how polypharmacy in older adults could be quietly promoting the ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...
