Disease modeling is the use of a disease model, which is an animal or cells containing all or some of the pathological characteristics and mechanisms of a disease, to study that particular disease.
This presentation will discuss fundamental physical, chemical, and biological concepts important to understanding control of detrimental biofilms. Four phenomena that are important in the act...
