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.

DOI: 10.15252/embr.202153025
Abstract: Protein folding is a fundamental process of life with important implications throughout biology. Indeed, tens of thousands of mutations have been associated with diseases, and most of these mutations are believed to affect protein folding… read more here.
