Biofilms are communities of microbes that form slimy layers on surfaces, including some medical devices. Now, researchers have made magnetically propelled microbots derived from tea buds. See how these “T-Budbots” can dislodge biofilms, release an antibiotic to kill bacteria and then clean up the mess.

What do we mean by "open access" when it comes to scientific research? What are the benefits and drawbacks? How have attitudes towards publishing open access changed during the COVID-19 global pandemic? Dr Norman Van Rjihn discusses each of these points for Teach Me in 10.

In this installment of Teach Me in 10 we're joined by the renowned scientist Dr Ali Khademhosseini, director and CEO of the Terasaki Institute.

In this episode of Teach Me in 10 Dr William W. Li discusses the relationship between food, health and disease and shares several examples of foods that have been shown to support the immune system.

Spiderman and CRISPR-Taming Chemist Amit Choudhary both tell us that "with great power comes great responsibility". In Amit's case, he speaks of power and responsibility with CRISPR gene editing technology.

In this video, Dr Britt Glaunsinger discusses the molecular biology of coronavirus infection.

Dr Erik Procko has been working on engineering a "decoy" receptor for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that has caused the COVID-19 global pandemic. In the second video of this two-part installment, Dr Procko discusses his research in exploring the mutational landscape of ACE2 to further understand the interaction between the receptor and the S protein of SARS-CoV-2.

It's time for another installment of Teach Me in 10. This week, we're bringing you a two-part series with Dr Erik Procko from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who teaches us about the concept of "decoy" receptors and how they could be used against SARS-CoV-2.

Scientists report a new technique that can not only identify and quantify viral RNA in living cells, but also detect minor changes in RNA sequences that might give viruses an edge or make some people “superspreaders.”
