How can we tune bacterial adhesion our materials?-Prof.Karin Jacobs' biophysics team (Universität Saarland) is figuring this out with cutting-edge techniques like single cell force spec. Hint-Certain nanostructures provoke an increase, some a decrease of adhesion. doi.org/10.1039/C9NR04…

The @tezcanlab & James J. De Yoreo Lab show modular self-assembly of an engineered protein into 4 distinct patterned 2D crystals via control of four classes of interactions. DK0071 @robalberstein go.nature.com/338HRIH
