The modern age of metagenomics has delivered unprecedented volumes of data describing
the genetic and metabolic diversity of bacterial communities, but it has failed to provide …

Bacteria come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The true picture of bacterial morphological
diversity is likely skewed due to an experimental focus on pathogens and industrially …

Bacteria come in an array of shapes and sizes, but the mechanisms underlying diverse
morphologies are poorly understood. The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall is the primary determinant …

How Darwin's “endless forms most beautiful” have evolved remains one of the most exciting
questions in biology. The significant variety of bacterial shapes is most likely due to the …

Melatonin, an indoleamine hormone produced and secreted at night by pinealocytes and
extra-pineal cells, plays an important role in timing circadian rhythms (24-h internal clock) and …

High-grade astrocytoma with piloid features (HGAP) is a recently recognized glioma type
whose classification is dependent on its global epigenetic signature. HGAP is characterized by …

In the environmental sensitivity-related illnesses (SRIs), multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS),
