Introduction
In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Caltech and Princeton University have unveiled a fascinating phenomenon where bacterial cells growing in a polymer solution, like mucus, form intricate cable structures that entwine into what can be described as a "living Jell-O." This discovery opens up new avenues for understanding bacterial behavior in medical contexts, particularly in diseases like cystic fibrosis.
