Bacteria are constantly moving with the help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like "speaking to each other," and thus acquire ...

Virtual Reality (VR) laboratories are a new pedagogical approach to support psychomotor skills development in undergraduate programmes to achieve practical competency. VR laboratories are successfully ...

Researchers have investigated the fluid dynamics of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) moving through gastric mucus using a 3D model and a magnetic field. H. pylori uses its corkscrew-like tail to move ...

Scientists are studying how bacteria move across surfaces -- a process known as twitching motility. New findings led to the surprising discovery of the key role surface properties play in either ...

A collaborative team of physicists and microbiologists from UNIST and Stanford University has, for the first time, uncovered the fundamental laws governing the distribution of self-propelled particles ...

Flagella are the primary organelles of bacterial motility and are essential for bacterial chemotaxis, stress response, and adhesion. The flagellum is composed of a basal body, rod, extracellular hook ...

Megan O'Hara graduated in May after double majoring in microbiology with a dual degree in biomedical biological sciences and a minor in chemistry. In addition to receiving two awards from the ...
