A rapid, inexpensive, and easy to implement experimental protocol enables the construction of combinatorially complete sets of microbial consortia.

A screen using in vitro-selected synthetic nanobodies identified inhibitors of SMC protein function in bacterial cells, revealing a coiled coil region as a vital component of the chromosome-folding machinery.

The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored receptors in Trypanosoma brucei are not confined to the flagellar pocket but instead localise across the whole cell surface, reshaping our understanding of host immune evasion and nutrient uptake.

Neuropeptides sNPF and RYamide promote blood feeding in Anopheles stephensi, a major malarial vector in the Indian subcontinent and West Africa.

Experiments and mathematical modelling show cell fate in Dictyostelium discoideum partly depends on cell-cycle phase, but also on stochastic gene-expression variability which enhances robustness of developmental responses to cell-cycle perturbation.
