Abstract: Engineered reproductive species barriers are useful for impeding gene flow and driving desirable genes into wild populations in a reversible threshold-dependent manner. However, methods to generate synthetic barriers are lacking in advanced eukaryotes. Here, 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.
