In Vitro Monitoring of Babesia microti Infection Dynamics in Whole Blood Microenvironments
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Here, an open microfluidic platform termed “µ‐Blood” is reported for real‐time, continuous monitoring of Babesia microti infection dynamics in vitro. µ‐Blood allows direct interrogation of whole blood with preserved integrity of the original whole blood microenvironment through an extended period (e.g., 72 h with mouse red blood cells) ex vivo. µ‐Blood

The Evolution of Functional Amyloids and Their Impact on Host–Microbe Interactions
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review describes functional amyloids and highlights the importance of structural repetition and molecular mimicry that distinguish the amyloid fold. The authors describe how amyloid can be the last universal common ancestor of protein folds. The authors also discuss how microbes utilize functional amyloids and how the structural characteristics of
