A novel computation tool for microbial community modeling predicts the evolution and diversification of E. coli in laboratory evolution experiments and gives insight into the underlying metabolic processes.

The evolution of multidrug resistance can be most easily understood by focusing upon the dynamical equations of linkage disequilibrium.

Sec17 is shown to have divergent effects on pre-fusion SNARE complex activity, depending on the state of SNARE zippering and HOPS, an SM-tether complex, controls the outcome of Sec17-SNARE engagement.

MDGAs are highly diffusive molecules that alter both neuroligin-1 and AMPA receptor dynamics and function, thereby significantly delaying the differentiation of excitatory post-synapses.

Two atypical cadherins regulate organ growth by tuning the coupling of cell cycle duration to organ size.

Coordinated actions of two opposite flagella control speed and change direction of plant pathogen Phytophthora zoospores, in which the anterior flagellum is the main motor to generate thrust and spontaneously switch from reciprocal beating to breaststrokes to reorient its body.

DIP2 is a conserved protein across fungi and animals that regulates specific diacylglycerol pools by diverting them to storage lipid biosynthesis to enable cellular homeostasis and adaptations.

A mathematical model built around the assumption that the desire to maintain internal homeostasis drives the behavior of animals, by affecting their learning processes, can explain many real-world behaviors, including some that might otherwise appear irrational.

A novel naturalistic environment with a touchscreen enables high-quality eye tracking for studying visual cognition in monkeys, and allows naive monkeys to learn complex tasks through a combination of social observation of trained monkeys and trial-and-error learning.

Exchange of components between biomolecular condensates and the surrounding dilute phase can be limited by dense-phase mixing, dilute-phase influx, or by the slow incorporation of molecules through the condensate interface.
