Planktonic (free-floating) cells are typically assumed to be oblivious to any flow that carries them. Here we discover that planktonic bacteria can sense flow to induce gene expression changes that are beneficial in flow. Specifically, planktonic P. aeruginosa induce shear-rate-dependent genes that promote growth in…

Weakly electric fish employ refuge-tracking behavior to survive, seeking and utilizing hiding places to shield themselves from predators and unfavorable environmental conditions. This adaptive mechanism enables them to minimize the risk of predation, maintain optimal electrocommunication, and adapt to changing…

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is primarily associated with episodic vaso-occlusive events. Poorly deformable sickle cells may get stuck in small blood vessels, slow down or block blood flow, leading to local hypoxia that damages tissues and organs. In this paper, we present a novel electrical impedance sensing technique…
