Developing cost-effective, consumer-accessible platforms for point-of-use environmental and clinical pathogen testing is a priority, to reduce reliance on laborious, time-consuming culturing approaches. Unfortunately, a system offering ultrasensitive...
mRNA degradation is a central process that affects all gene expression levels, though it remains challenging to predict the stability of a mRNA from its sequence, due to the many coupled interactions that control degradation rate. Here, we carried ou...
Bioactive peptides, as small protein fragments, are essential mediators of diverse physiological activities, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions. Despite their substantial potential in pha...
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose considerable risks to global health, particularly through transmission in the food chain. Herein, we developed the artificial intelligence-driven quantification of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food using a color...
The motility of bacteria is crucial for navigating competitive environments and is closely linked to physiological activities essential for their survival, such as biofilm development. Precise regulation of bacterial motility enhances our understandi...
Fast and accurate detection of infectious bacteria in wounds is crucial for effective clinical treatment. However, traditional methods take over 24 h to yield results, which is inadequate for urgent clinical needs. Here, we introduce a deep learning-...
In the last decades, robotic cultivation facilities combined with automated execution of workflows have drastically increased the speed of research in biotechnology. In this work, we present the design and deployment of a digital infrastructure for r...
