A combination of bioinformatics, protein biochemistry, and X-ray crystal structures reveals new bacterial proteins that are capable of binding to sterols.

Correct cell wall synthesis in bacteria depends on flotillin-mediated membrane fluidity.

A bioengineering approach identifies tissue morphology as an effective variable for controlling the inception of neural organoid morphogenesis via induction of a biomimetic, singular neural rosette tissue cytoarchitecture.

Methylation specifically enhances the ability of hopanoids to rigidify membranes under physiologically relevant conditions, which impacts the current interpretation of the 2-methylhopane fossil record.

A combination of phylogenetic and biochemical analyses suggest that some unexpected variations in the synthesis of isoprenoids may be widespread across all three domains of life.
