GFP-fusion proteins are widely used to visualize organelles by confocal microscopy. However, screening for mutations that affect the morphology of organelles generally requires individual mutagenesis and is time consuming. Here, we demonstrate a method to simultaneously incorporate organelle-GFP markers in almost 5,000 non-essential genes in yeast.

Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although vasectomy...

This video describes the technique of aspirating bone marrow from iliac spine and smear preparation for biopsy. In the example, we perform bone marrow aspiration from an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient and examine the cells to check for measurable residual disease (MRD), an important prognostic biomarker.

Microbial growth control refers to various methods employed to inhibit, reduce, or eliminate microorganisms to ensure safety and hygiene across different settings. These methods are categorized based on the target environment and the level of microbial control required.Biocides are versatile agents designed to control microorganisms by either inhibiting their growth or outright killing them. These agents work through various physical, chemical, mechanical, or biological mechanisms. The...

Small changes in processing conditions can redirect nucleation, growth, assembly, or deformation. Reaction rate and temperature influence how structures form, while composition and solvent environment alter the surrounding conditions for that formation. Engineers therefore adjust these variables to favor a desired size, shape, or internal structure, rather than treating morphology as a fixed outcome.
Templates and additives help guide how material structures develop, while growth direction can favor particular shapes or arrangements. These influences act during nucleation, growth, or assembly, allowing engineers to steer formation instead of relying only on the material’s uncontrolled development. The resulting structure can then be selected for properties such as porosity, surface area, or transport.
Geometry and microstructure determine how a material presents surface area, pores, pathways, and mechanically relevant features. Changing these characteristics can alter strength, transport, optical behavior, catalytic activity, or biological interactions. Consequently, two materials with similar composition may support different engineering functions when their size, shape, internal structure, or surface features are controlled differently.
A practical workflow begins by identifying the performance target, such as increased surface area, controlled transport, or improved strength. Engineers then select formation or processing variables, including temperature, composition, solvent environment, reaction rate, templates, or additives. After producing the structure, they assess whether its size, shape, porosity, surface features, or microstructure match the intended function.
The approach applies across nanoparticles, coatings, membranes, composites, and other fabricated structures whose function depends on geometry or microstructure. In each case, engineers can target different structural characteristics, such as surface features in a coating, porosity in a membrane, or internal organization in a composite. This broad scope makes morphology control relevant to multiple materials-design problems.
Engineering researchers use morphology control to connect processing decisions with measurable material or device behavior. Tailored structures can support selected combinations of surface area, porosity, strength, transport, optical behavior, catalytic activity, and biological interaction. The method therefore contributes to designing functional materials and devices, while also providing a way to investigate how structure influences performance.
