Mathematical models, e.g., differential equations and stochastic processes, have gained considerable attention for understanding evolution of antibiotic resistance. However, most existing models assum...

Bacterial nanotubes are widespread intercellular membranous bridges mediating molecular exchange among neighboring cells, yet their formation and dynamics remain largely unexplored. By combining live-...

Would Tony Stark be Tony Stark if he weren’t a billionaire?

During oogenesis and maturation oocytes undergo a recently discovered mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) remodeling in flies, frogs, and humans. This conserved oocyte ETC remodeling is regul...

Engineered DNA and RNA sequences create programmable liquid droplets with tunable properties, shedding light on both synthetic materials and the physics of RNA-based cellular condensates.

Cross-feeding is a universal feature of natural microbial communities that extends even into subpopulation structures, generating cooperative ecotypes. However, we still lack an understanding of the e...

Many bacteria carry phage genome(s) in their chromosome (i.e., prophage), and this intertwines the fitness of the bacterium and the phage. Most Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains carry filamentous phages ...
