Many proteobacteria are able to monitor their population densities through the release of
pheromones known as N-acylhomoserine lactones. At high population densities, these …

The target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling pathway plays a key role in the coordination
between cellular growth and the cell cycle machinery in eukaryotes. The underlying molecular …

All eukaryotic organisms have mechanisms to adapt to changing metabolic conditions. The
mammalian cell survival geneBcl-x L enables cells to adapt to changes in cellular metabolism…

Aberrant regulation of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, contributes to the aetiology of
several diseases, including cancers, immunodeficiencies and neurodegenerative illnesses. …

Undergraduate research experience has been shown to enhance student learning and
improve persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). …

Sphingolipid signaling plays an important role in the regulation of central cellular processes,
including cell growth, survival, and differentiation. Many of the essential pathways …

Two archaeal proteins, RadA and RadB, share similarity with the RecA/Rad51 family of
recombinases, with RadA being the functional homologue. We have studied and compared the …

Eukaryotic cell division requires dependency relationships in which late processes commence
only after early ones are appropriately completed. We have discovered a system that …

Asymmetric segregation of cellular factors during cell division produces two cells with
different identities. This asymmetry underlies cell fate decisions as well as the ability to self-renew. …
