Abstract: Motile bacteria are often found in complex, polymer-rich environments in which microbes can aggregate via polymer-induced depletion forces. Bacterial aggregation has many biological implications; it can promote biofilm formation, upregulate virulence factors, and lead to… read more here.

Abstract: Because bacterial adhesion to surfaces is associated with infections and biofilm growth, it has been a longstanding goal to develop coatings that minimize biomolecular adsorption and eliminate bacteria adhesion. We demonstrate that, even on carefully-engineered… read more here.
