We had this phenomenal work come out a couple of days ago. This is one of those works in which an irrational polymer design was found to weaken the biofilm-surface interactions and clear biofilms from underwater surfaces without killing the bacteria! https://t.co/T7C3zYnxlO

For millions of years, barnacles and mussels have successfully adhered to wet rocks near tide-swept seashores. While the chemistry and mechanics of their underwater adhesives are being thoroughly...

2024 #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins. In recent years, one incredible protein creation after the other has emerged from Baker’s laboratory. They range from new nanomaterials

Excited to share a new preprint! (1)🔬The nucleolus is the most prominent nuclear condensate, with a fascinating multilayered liquid-like structure, and is the site of ribosome biogenesis. But how does this multiphase architecture form and function? https://t.co/xKP9tGFFlQ

How do you turn a condensate inside-out? Congrats to @sofiquinodoz & @jiang_lifei & co-authors on amazing study from our lab & @LafontaineLab + Klinge. Genomics, engineered nucleoli, & modeling RNA-controlled nucleolar architecture!! (Tweetorial soon!) https://t.co/0Vo3GbwDWL

With a series of clever instrumentation and experimental designs, @biofilmlover and @nityanshu_kumar found that biofilms love the polymer more than the glass and slide off with the polymer-dense phase! Why? We do not know! @JoylabUAkron

Naturally, we tested a polymer system I developed a few years ago to see if it could replicate the Barnacle magic! What are the chances? It clears P. aeruginousa biofilms from glass!

Almost 7 years ago, I saw this video of barnacles sticking onto fouled surfaces. One thing we could not help but notice was the barnacle’s ability to “clean” underwater surfaces before sticking. https://t.co/lqfljRWHR0
