How to adapt to a changing environment is a fundamental, recurrent problem confronting
cells. One solution is for cells to organize their constituents into a limited number of spatially …

The formation of lateral microdomains is emerging as a central organizing principle in
bacterial membranes. These microdomains are targets of antibiotic development and have …

Super-resolution microscopy techniques break the diffraction limit of conventional optical
microscopy to achieve resolutions approaching tens of nanometres. The major advantage of …

Abstract DNA methylation (5-methylcytosine (5mC)) is critical for genome stability and
transcriptional regulation in mammals. The discovery that ten-eleven translocation (TET) …

Staphylococcus aureus bi-component pore-forming leukocidins are secreted toxins that
directly target and lyse immune cells. Intriguingly, one of the leukocidins, Leukocidin AB …

Membrane fluidity is a key parameter of bacterial membranes that undergoes quick
adaptation in response to environmental challenges and has recently emerged as an …

Genome-wide DNA demethylation is a unique feature of mammalian development and
naïve pluripotent stem cells. Here, we describe a recently evolved pathway in which global …

The demand for point-of-need (PON) diagnostics for clinical and other applications is
continuing to grow. Much of this demand is currently serviced by biosensors, which combine …

Bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis requires strict spatiotemporal organization to
reproduce specific cell shapes. In ovoid‐shaped Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn), septal …

Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have unique optical and physical properties,
with numerous biomedical imaging and sensing applications, owing to their near‐infrared …
