ElegansBot, a two-dimensional rigid body chain model, simulates various locomotion of C. elegans, including omega and delta turns, using Newtonian equations of motion.
Evidence of a relationship between substrate curvature, water evaporation and the building behavior of termites capable of mediating collective nest-building with no need for a building pheromone.
Microfluidic methods are used to quantitatively probe single yeast cells' response to either simultaneous or sequential stresses, revealing the dynamic interplay between two antagonistic inputs, osmotic stress and glucose starvation.
Confluent cellular layers display the remarkable ability of supportingmultiscale orientational order, that is the existence of different typeof liquid crystal order at different length scales.
The finding that deletion of the genome folding motor leaves a significant fraction of a key structural feature of chromosome at the single cell and ensemble level has been explained.
