ABSTRACT Avian keratin disorder (AKD), characterized by debilitating overgrowth of the avian beak, was first documented in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) in Alaska.Subsequently, similar deformities have appeared in numerous species across continents.Despite the widespread distribution of this emerging pathology, the cause of AKD rem
ABSTRACT Candida auris has emerged as an outbreak pathogen associated with high mortality.Biofilm formation and linked drug resistance are common among Candida species.Drug sequestration by the biofilm matrix accounts for much of the antifungal tolerance.In this study, we examine the biofilm matrix composition and function for a diverse set of C.au
The purpose of this research is to produce microparts reinforced with unidirectional hot pink softball glove whiskers using laser stereolithography.Electrically conductive whiskers are added to a liquid photopolymer and an electric field is applied to the liquid photopolymer, which aligns the axes of the whiskers along the direction of the electric
