University of Basel researchers have discovered that bacteria can sense threats in advance through a general danger signal. Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a ...

defenses.Lauren Bylsma worked with Professor Arlene Hoogewerf to use bacterial and cell culture methods to grow bacteria and macrophages, and use fluorescent and biochemical methods to examine the ...

Researchers showed that biofilm formation can be controlled with laser light in the form of optical traps. The findings could allow scientists to harness biofilms for various bioengineering ...

Scientists have now discovered a chemical that plants produce when they're stressed prevents dangerous biofilm from forming. The breakthrough offers potential advances in healthcare as well as ...

In nature as well as in our bodies, bacteria predominantly live as organized communities called biofilms. These structures play a central role in antibiotic resistance mechanisms. In a paper published ...

Imagine a group of bacteria teaming up like a gang, creating a fortress around them. This is essentially what bacterial biofilms are – a tough, sticky barrier that makes them incredibly difficult to ...

Oral biofilm is part of everyday life. In modern dental practices, where preventive oral hygiene takes a bigger role in patients’ overall health and wellness, it takes on even more importance. The ...
