McMaster researchers have developed a way to coax bacteriophages into linking together and forming microscopic beads. Those beads can safely be applied to food and other materials to rid them of harmful pathogens.
'The more we know about the way things work on the other side of the street, the more likely it is our innovations will reach the marketplace, where they can serve to improve the way we all live,' writes Engineering Professor Tohid Didar.
Tohid Didar and Jeff Weitz's 'graft on a chip' allows them to test how well their innovative 'non-stick' treatment for blood vessels prevents clots from forming.
