Confinement inhibits surficial attachment and induces collective behaviors in bacterial colonies
Vincent Hickl, Gabriel Gmünder, René M. Rossi +4
Bacterial colonies are a well-known example of living active matter, exhibiting collective behaviors such as nematic alignment and collective motion that play an important role in…

Segmentation of dense and multi-species bacterial colonies using models trained on synthetic microscopy images
Vincent Hickl, Abid Khan, René M. Rossi +2
The spread of microbial infections is governed by the self-organization of bacteria on surfaces. Limitations of live imaging techniques make collective behaviors in clinically rele…

Complete inclusion of bioactive molecules and particles in polydime-thylsiloxane: a straightforward process under mild conditions
Greta Faccio, Alice Cont, Erik Mailand +5
By applying a slow curing process, we show that biomolecules can be incorporated via a simple process as liquid stable phases inside a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. The proce…
