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.

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.

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

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

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.
