Essential gene deletions producing gigantic bacteria.
To characterize the consequences of eliminating essential functions needed for peptidoglycan synthesis, we generated deletion mutations of Acinetobacter baylyi by natural transformation and visualized the resulting microcolonies of dead cells.

Ex vivo experiment on vertebral body with defect representing bone metastasis [PDF]
Osteolytic metastases located in the vertebrae reduce strength and enhance the risk of vertebral fractures. This risk can be predicted by means of validated finite element models, but their reproducibility needs to be assessed. For that purpose, experimental data are requested.
