Cover Story: The ability of Candida albicans to form biofilms is a virulence factor, allowing tissue attachment and infection of host tissues. Using a novel flow-system, we are able to monitor the growth and development of C. albicans cells, grown under flow and in real time, starting from initial cell adhesion. This system has led to several interesting discoveries, including the likely presence of a previously unknown flow mechanosensory response that initiates hyphal formation, and the observation that the process of cell dispersion occurs throughout microcolony growth and development.
