SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The movement of fluids has a significant impact on the biological world, from the transport of critical medications, to the shaping of cellular life. The presence of a fluid-fluid interface gives rise to regions where a fluid-and its contents-can be selectively transported or trapped, and where stresses from the rearranging interface can lead to damage or even death of nearby microorganisms.
