The Earth's hard outer layer (where we live) is called the crust. It is made up of large slabs called tectonic plates. The plates fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces far beneath our feet.

Washed PDMS-Phage and SNAP-PDMS-Phage discs (0.6 cm diameter) were placed on the agar plates and overlaid with 5 mL of 0.7% soft agar (at 50 °C) containing 300 μL of E. coli culture. Once the soft ...

Infrared (IR) spectra (400-4000 cm −1) of the compounds dispersed in KBr were recorded on a Shimadzu FTIR-8400S spectrometer. Electrochemical analysis (cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry) ...

For cytotoxicity screening against human keratinocytes (HaCat) cells, the peptide stock solutions were diluted in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) and 10 μL was transferred ...

One key aspect of the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus lies in its ability to target the host cell membrane with a large number of membrane-damaging toxins and peptides. In this review, we describe ...

For the first eight mice in the study, 40 µL of the BHI culture were then plated on supplemented BHI agar plates and cultured under the respective atmospheric condition for an additional 48 hours, and ...
