The most fundamental feature of cellular form is size, which sets the scale of all cell
biological processes. Growth, form, and function are all necessarily linked in cell biology, but …

Bacterial physiology is a branch of biology that aims to understand overarching principles of
cellular reproduction. Many important issues in bacterial physiology are inherently …

Evolutionarily divergent bacteria share a common phenomenological strategy for cell-size
homeostasis under steady-state conditions. In the presence of inherent physiological …

INTRODUCTION The generation of biological data is presenting us with one of the most
demanding analysis challenges the world has ever faced, not only in terms of storage and …

Despite decades of research, how mammalian cell size is controlled remains unclear
because of the difficulty of directly measuring growth at the single-cell level. Here we report …

Cell size and growth kinetics are fundamental cellular properties with important
physiological implications. Classical studies on yeast, and recently on bacteria, have …

It is remarkable how robustly a bacterial species can maintain its preferred size. This
capacity is intimately related to control of the cell cycle: cell size and growth rate determine …

All viable bacterial cells, whether they divide symmetrically or asymmetrically, must
coordinate their growth, division, cell volume and shape with the inheritance of the genome …

Joint regulation of growth rate and cell division rate determines cell size. Here we discuss
how animal cells achieve cell size homeostasis potentially involving multiple signaling …

Pioneering work carried out over 60 years ago discovered that bacterial cell size is
proportional to the growth rate set by nutrient availability. This relationship is traditionally …
