Researchers tackle dangerous, but poorly understood biofilms

Until now, biofilms—colonies of microbes like bacteria that grow together in a matrix produced by the cells themselves—have been poorly understood. Yet, they can be costly and dangerous. Infections related to hip- and ...

Surges in latent infections: Mathematical analysis of viral blips
