Structural Studies Reveal Molecular Basis for Bacterial Motility in the Urinary Tract

A team of molecular microbiologists has unraveled the mechanism used by Escherichia coli bacteria to bind to cells lining the urinary tract and explained how the pathogen migrates to the bladder despite the strong force of urine flowing in the other direction.   More...

Stripped Heart Matrix Supports Growth of Rejection-Free Replacement Organ

A team of bioengineers used a decellularized heart matrix as scaffolding to rebuild the organ for transplantation without immune markers that would prime the organ for rejection.  More...
