Marine biofouling is an undeniable challenge for aquatic systems since it is responsible for
several environmental and ecological problems and economic losses. Several strategies …

Bacterial adhesion to dental materials' surfaces is the initial cause of dental materials-
related infections. Therefore, inhibiting bacterial adhesion is a critical step in preventing and …

Introduction Helicobacter pylori causes chronic gastric diseases in nearly 50% of people
around the world. It is suggested that biofilm formation has a pronounced effect on the …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic systems have been instrumental in better
understanding couplings between physical mechanisms and bacterial biofilm processes …

Biofouling is a specific lifestyle including both marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic
communities. Hydrodynamics are poorly studied parameters affecting biofouling formation …

The presence of biofilms in microbial infections increases the possibility of chronic disease
and worsens the infection outcome, since microbes exhibit survival-promoting phenotypic …

Biofilms constitute one of the most common forms of living matter, playing an increasingly
important role in technology, health, and ecology. While it is well established that biofilm …

Ultrasonic irrigation during root canal treatment can enhance biofilm disruption. The
challenge is to improve the fluid flow so that the irrigant reaches areas inaccessible to hand …

While waves, swells and currents are important drivers of the ocean, their specific influence
on the biocolonization of marine surfaces has been little studied. The aim of this study was to …

Immunomechanobiology, the study of how physical forces influence the behavior and
function of immune cells, is a rapidly growing area of research. It is becoming increasingly …
