All cellular membranes have the functionality of generating and maintaining the gradients of
electrical and electrochemical potentials. Such potentials were generally thought to be an …

The study of bacterial ion channels has provided fundamental insights into the structural basis
of neuronal signalling; however, the native role of ion channels in bacteria has remained …

The last five decades of molecular and systems biology research have provided unprecedented
insights into the molecular and genetic basis of many cellular processes. Despite these …

Cells that reside within a community can cooperate and also compete with each other for
resources. It remains unclear how these opposing interactions are resolved at the population …

From microbial biofilm communities to multicellular organisms, 3D macroscopic structures
develop through poorly understood interplay between cellular processes and mechanical …

Nuclear proteins are selectively imported into the nucleus by transport factors such as importin-α
and importin-β 1 , 2 . Here, we show that the expression of importin-α subtypes is strictly …

… Single-cell analysis of the fluorescence dynamics revealed that most cells exhibited the
hyperpolarization of membrane potential (V m ), while a small subpopulation of cells depolarizes …

This paper reports on the use of scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) to locally
map the ionic properties and charge environment of two live bacterial strains: the Gram-…

… Namely, when agent i sells a good to agent j, M i and M j increase … Thus, we describe the
time evolution of M i as … We determined the economic parameters such as M ~ , M ^ , ρ t h and K …

… Given that cell-density heterogeneity can lead to the production of matrix and biofilm formation
mediated by localized cell death (Asally et al., 2012; … The shady areas represent the se m. …
