Impact of fullerene (C60) on a soil microbial community.
TL;DR: The observations show that the introduction of fullerene, as either C60 or nC60, has little impact on the structure and function of the soil microbial community and microbial processes.

Influence of irrigant needle depth in removing bioluminescent bacteria inoculated into instrumented root canals using real-time imaging in vitro.
TL;DR: The mechanical efficacy of 6 mL of irrigant in reducing intracanal bacteria was significantly greater when delivered 1 mm compared with 5 mm from working length (WL), and the effect became significant when 6 mLof irrigant was used.

TL;DR: The bioluminescent-bioreporter integrated circuit represents a new advance in the development of whole-cell biosensors, consisting of a genetically engineered bioreporter organism interfaced with an integrated circuit.

Hemocompatibility of Hydrophilic Antimicrobial Copolymers of Alkylated 4-Vinylpyridine
TL;DR: Hemolysis results demonstrated that blood compatibility does not depend on PEG chain length in PEGMA incorporated copolymers, and results indicate a critical weight ratio of PEGma to VP in copolymer separating the no-hemolysis regime from 100% hemolysis.

Synergistic Activity of Hydrophilic Modification in Antibiotic Polymers
TL;DR: Results indicate that several of the copolymers synthesized possess antibacterial activity approximately 20 times greater than the pure quaternized poly(vinylpyridine) homopolymer, while only containing 1 wt % hexylated pyridinium.
