controlled data absent Common Model Organisms Both peptides have been studied across multiple species: Rats Primary research model (Wistar, Sprague-Dawley strains)
We separated nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins and calculated the ratio of p-P53 to total P53 in each fraction
During the maturation stage, the biofilm forms a complex 3D structure with nutrient and waste channels, which is sustained by continued EPS production and regulated by quorum sensing
