Heterozygosity changes the balance between interfering and non-interfering crossovers during Arabidopsis meiosis.

Whether deforming cells behave as elastic balls (deforming at constant volume) or as sponges (loosing volume as they deform) depends on how fast they change their shape, because the cell volume depends on the tension of the plasma membrane.

Cells control signal circulation to set the frequency of information transmitted over tissue scales.

Quantitative genetics approaches using Caenorhabditis elegans facilitate the discovery of a novel arsenic toxicity mechanism.

Dynamic successive blooms of clades of planktonic marine bacteria that can be observed during blooms of marine algae follow discernible patterns, part of which might be explained by substrate-induced forcing.

Treating color patterns in a geometric morphometrics framework reveals rapid rates of color evolution that are explained by a combination of intrinsic organismal features (color variation among patches) and geography within a cosmopolitan radiation of birds.

Intercellular interactions between fibrocytes and CD8⁺ T lymphocytes promote inflammation through a pathophysiological positive feedback loop in bronchi of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Upon deletion of threonine deaminases, biosynthesis of isoleucine is rescued by two promiscuous reactions, one emerges under aerobic conditions and the other is naturally active under anaerobic conditions.

Elucidating the control and regulation of acetate overflow in E. coli reveals that acetate is not only an end-product but also a co-substrate and a global regulator of glucose metabolism.

Ptch1/2 can lower the sensitivity of Smo to activation by Shh via the secretion of a sterol precursor.
