A group of scientists from the Department of Chemical Enzymology of the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University analyzed and described for the first time the prospects of combining two types ...
From the smallest cell to humans, most organisms can sense their local population density and change behavior in crowded environments. For bacteria and social insects, this behavior is referred to as ...
Bacteria can act in a concerted manner by coordinating the gene expression of populations above a certain cell density through the production and sensing of small diffusible signalling molecules ...
PITTSBURGH (July 25, 2017) ... From the smallest cell to humans, most organisms can sense their local population density and change behavior in crowded environments. For bacteria and social insects, ...
Researchers have utilized computational modeling to mimic such quorum sensing behavior in synthetic materials, which could lead to devices with the ability for self-recognition and self-regulation.
