Researchers say using physically patterned surfaces applied to existing device materials would reduce barriers to commercial application.

Bacterial biofilms are complex, adaptable multi-cellular architectures that play important roles in human and environmental health and disease. Confocal microscopy has long been a core pillar of ...

As research has progressed over the years, biofilms — bacterial and fungal — have been implicated in a variety of health conditions. In a 2002 call for grant applications, the National ...
