Bacterial biofilms can cause widespread infection. In addition to causing urinary tract
infections and pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, biofilms can help …

Abstract Crick's Central Dogma has been a foundational aspect of 20th century biology,
describing an implicit relationship governing the flow of information in biological systems in …

Cells must access resources to survive, and the anatomy of multicellular structures
influences this access. In diverse multicellular eukaryotes, resources are provided by …

Natural selection has a formal definition as the natural process that results in the survival
and reproductive success of individuals or groups best adjusted to their environment …

Many bacteria live in polymeric fluids, such as mucus, environmental polysaccharides, and
extracellular polymers in biofilms. However, laboratory studies typically focus on cells in …

Spatial organization is the norm rather than the exception in the microbial world. While the
study of microbial physiology has been dominated by studies in well-mixed cultures, there is …

Escherichia coli are present in the human and animal microbiome as facultative anaerobes
and are viewed as an integral part of the whole gastrointestinal environment. In certain …

The presumption that experiential consciousness requires a nervous system and brain has
been central to the debate on the possibility of develo** a conscious form of artificial …

Rosettes are self-organizing, circular multicellular communities that initiate developmental
processes, like organogenesis and embryogenesis, in complex organisms. Their formation …

Bacteria can survive antibiotics by forming dormant, drug‐tolerant persisters. Persisters can
resuscitate from dormancy after treatment and prolong infections. Resuscitation is thought to …
