The authors proposed a method for improving the accuracy of measuring the morphology of red blood cells using an advanced method of interference microscopy and subsequent digital processing of video ...

Populations of cells can be perturbed by various chemical and genetic treatments and the impact on the cells’ gene expression (transcription, i.e. mRNA levels) and morphology (in an image-based assay) ...

The cell envelope of parietal monoderm bacteria (archetypal Gram-positive bacteria) is formed of a cytoplasmic membrane (CM) and a cell wall (CW). While the CM is composed of phospholipids, the CW is ...

Bacillus subtilis is a major workhorse for enzyme production in industrially relevant quantities. Compared to mammalian-based expression systems, B. subtilis presents intrinsic advantages, such as ...

Water-responsive (WR) materials can exert significant forces when they deform in response to changes in the relative humidity. Recent studies on biological WR materials have brought attention to the ...
