A microfluidics and agent-based modeling framework for investigating spatial organization in bacterial colonies: the case of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa and H1-Type VI secretion interactions
(2018-02-06)
Article
Open AccessThe factors leading to changes in the organization of microbial assemblages at fine spatial scales are not well characterized or understood. However, they are expected to guide the succession of community development and ... -
Analysis and IbM simulation of the stages in bacterial lag phase: basis for an updated definition
(2008-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe lag phase is the initial phase of a culture that precedes exponential growth and occurs when the conditions of the culture medium differ from the pre-inoculation conditions. It is usually defined by means of cell density ... -

CD5L promotes M2 macrophage polarization through autophagy-mediated upregulation of ID3
(2018-03-12)
Article
Open AccessCD5L (CD5 molecule-like) is a secreted glycoprotein that controls key mechanisms in inflammatory responses, with involvement in processes such as infection, atherosclerosis, and cancer. In macrophages, CD5L promotes an ... -
Congenital and blood transfusion transmission of chagas disease: A framework using mathematical modeling
