Ladder-shaped microfluidic systems for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing
The possibility of rapidly identifying antibiotic resistant bacteria can play a significant role in solving the global antibiotic crisis by facilitating the targeted and timely administration of pharmaceutical drugs. At present, ...
Biological bouncers: How immune cells yank antigens from surfaces to learn and evolve
Most cells evolve slowly, accumulating incremental changes that better suit their environments. Immune cells, because they must adapt rapidly to counter new threats, evolve much more quickly. Part of that, UCLA physicists ...

From yeast to mice, from mice to man: Senescent cells get noisier with age
Getting old seems completely avoidable in youth but becomes less and less so as we age. Many of the obstacles of advanced aging are well understood, including declining eyesight, hearing loss, back, neck and arthritic joint ...
Skin-on-a-chip: Modeling an innervated epidermal-like layer on a microfluidic chip
Bioengineers and tissue engineers intend to reconstruct skin equivalents with physiologically relevant cellular and matrix architectures for basic research and industrial applications. Skin pathophysiology depends on skin-nerve ...
Human body is a breeding ground for antimicrobial resistance genes, shows new study
The community of microbes living in and on our bodies may be acting as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance, according to new research from the Earlham Institute and Quadram Institute in Norwich. The work is published in ...
