Boost converters provide a versatile solution to stepping up DC voltages in many applications where a DC voltage needs to be increased without the need to convert it to AC, using a transformer, and then rectifying the transformer output. Boost converters are step-up converters that use an inductor as an energy storage device that supports the output with additional energy in addition to the DC input...

The video demonstrates the phage therapy technique targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in cystic fibrosis zebrafish embryos. Phage therapy effectively diminishes bacterial load and mitigates proinflammatory immune responses in CF zebrafish embryos infected with bacteria, leading to reduced CF embryo...

Here, we present a protocol to reduce DNA modifications in bacteriophages using the NgTET enzyme, enabling efficient and scarless CRISPR-Cas mutagenesis. This method facilitates the genetic engineering of phages for applications in biotechnology and phage...

Here, we present phenomic approaches for the functional characterization of putative phage genes. Techniques include a developed assay capable of monitoring host anabolic metabolism, the Multi-phenotype Assay Plates (MAPs), in addition to the established method of metabolomics, capable of measuring effects to catabolic...

The current report summarizes a protocol that can be utilized to model the influence of the bone marrow microenvironment niche on leukemic cells with emphasis placed on enrichment of the most chemoresistant subpopulation.

This article describes the procedure for preparing a fluorescently-labeled version of bacteriophage lambda, infection of E. coli bacteria, following the infection outcome under the microscope, and analysis of infection...
