The spiral-shaped bacteria Helicobacter pylori are common and troublesome. More than 13 percent of Americans have an H. pylori infection, although rates vary with age, race and socioeconomic status.

An illustration of the 3D printed model of spiral-shaped bacteria made by researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Using particle tracking and imaging techniques, the researchers measured ...

Synthetic biology is one of the most fascinating areas of the life sciences, which, quite frankly, is saying a lot considering the technological achievements in biology over the past several years.

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Want to know what the future of 3D printing might hold? How about the possibility of printing custom materials such as graphene by using 3D-printed bacteria? That’s exactly what scientists at Delft ...

The anaerobic bacteria P. aeruginosa formed biofilms in thick constructs. Left: Photos of the 3D bioprinted biofilm at day 0 and matured biofilm at day 14 (scale bar: 1 cm). Right: 2D projection and ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the ...

The war against the spread of bacteria in places like hospitals and medical centers is often waged using chemical sprays that kill off pesky microorganisms before they can cause problems. They tend to ...

In a new study published today in Science Advances, researchers present a 3D-printable ink that contains bacteria and they say that depending on what species of bacteria it holds, the ink stands to ...

Researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedentedly strong, light, and ...
