Bioengineering human mini-intestines with in vivo-like complexity and function
Biological research heavily relies on the use of animal models, which has made it difficult to answer specific questions about human biology and disease. However, with the advent of human organoids - miniature versions of tissues generated in 3D human stem ...
EPFL2023Fate of parasites and viruses in calcium hydroxide-treated urine in relation to temperature and moisture content
Human urine can be used as fertilizer and technologies, such as alkaline-urine treatment, are being developed to enable easier re-use. There is, however, a risk of pathogens being present in the urine. This hygiene assessment examined inactivation of three ...
2022Optimization of Fecal Sludge Transport in Camp 18 of the Cox's Bazar Refugee Camp
Sanitation planning and management is a complex problem, especially in emergency contexts such as refugee camps. Camp 18 of the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp has over 27 000 inhabitants, who have access to 1931 latrines from which the sludge is treated in a cen ...
2022Molecular basis for inhibition of adhesin-mediated bacterial-host interactions through a peptide-binding domain
Infections typically begin with pathogens adhering to host cells. For bacteria, this adhesion can occur through specific ligand-binding domains. We identify a 20-kDa peptide-binding domain (PBD) in a 1.5-MDa RTX adhesin of a Gram-negative marine bacterium ...
