Quorum sensing in African trypanosomes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2019 Many microbial eukaryotes exhibit cell-cell communication to co-ordinate group behaviours as a strategy to exploit a changed environment, adapt to adverse conditions or regulate developmental responses. Although best characterised in bacteria, eukaryotic microbes have also been revealed to cooperate to optimise their survival or dissemination.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Multifunctional atomic layer deposited coatings and interface treatments enhance direct solar water splitting on GaAs/GaInP tandem cells. Optimized TiO2/Pt nanoparticle bilayers ensure durability and catalytic efficiency with minimal optical losses, while H2 plasma pretreatments maximize photovoltage and interfacial charge extraction.

Quorum quenching: Signal jamming in dental plaque biofilms
Journal of Dental Sciences, 2016 Quorum sensing helps bacteria to communicate with each other and in coordinating their behavior. Many diseases of humans, plants, and animals are mediated by communication called quorum sensing.

Quorum Sensing: A Prospective Therapeutic Target for Bacterial Diseases
BioMed Research International, 2019 Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication in which specific signals are activated to coordinate pathogenic behaviors and help bacteria acclimatize to the disadvantages.

Alternative approaches to treat bacterial infections: targeting quorum-sensing
Expert Review of Anti-Infective Therapy, 2020 Introduction The emergence of multi- and pan-drug-resistant bacteria represents a global crisis that calls for the development of alternative anti-infective strategies. These comprise anti-virulence approaches, which target pathogenicity without exerting

Nanoscale robots exhibiting quorum sensing [PDF]
Artificial Life, 2018 AbstractMulti-agent systems demonstrate the ability to collectively perform complex tasks—e.g., construction1–2, search3, and locomotion4,5—with greater speed, efficiency, or effectiveness than could a single agent alone. Direct and indirect coordination methods allow agents to collaborate to share information and adapt their activity to fit dynamic ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The highly anisotropic Fermi surface of bismuth results in variations in magnetotransport properties across different crystallographic directions, which can be characterized by studying microcrystals. To avoid the observed surface melting under room temperature Focused Ion Beam (FIB) irradiation, two low‐temperature FIB fabrication methods are proposed
