This study shows that bacterial growth under confinement leads to increased turgor pressure, which disrupts division and protein synthesis, and activates the Rcs pathway, with implications for infection physiology.

This paper introduces a high-throughput method for quantitatively measuring mechanical properties of biological samples using parallel micropipettes.

This paper introduces a microfluidic device that enables controlled mechanical and chemical environments for studying biological samples, showing that confined growth increases macromolecular crowding.
