Both researchers are leaders in the rapidly growing field of the human gut microbiome.

Abstract. Bacterial persister cells are characterized by arrested growth and survival in normally lethal antibiotic concentrations. Observations of persist

Noise is usually associated with disorder, but it can also generate large-scale order. Here, the authors show that three distinct systems, spanning soft matter and stochastic optimization, self-organi...

Noise in bacterial stress responses is often dismissed as mere randomness. While true stochasticity exists, much variation reflects hidden variables—cell state, history, and microenvironment—that are ...

Bacteria rewire gene expression to survive stress, but the logic of these changes can remain elusive in bulk studies. Using single-cell imaging, Choudhary et al. reveal that the gene expression patter...
