Single-molecule super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and single-particle tracking are
two imaging modalities that illuminate the properties of cells and materials on spatial scales …

Single-molecule super-resolution microscopy has developed from a specialized technique
into one of the most versatile and powerful imaging methods of the nanoscale over the past …

Recent investigations in bacteria suggest that membraneless organelles play a crucial role
in the subcellular organization of bacterial cells. However, the biochemical functions and …

Individual proteins and protein complexes undergo various motion types, including free
diffusion, confinement, subdiffusion and directed motion. Different motion behaviours reflect …

Bacteria must divide to increase in number and colonize their niche. Binary fission is the
most widespread means of bacterial cell division, but even this relatively simple mechanism …

Heterochromatin is most often associated with eukaryotic organisms. Yet, bacteria also
contain areas with densely protein-occupied chromatin that appear to silence gene …

The microbiome presents great opportunities for understanding and improving the world
around us and elucidating the interactions that compose it. The microbiome also poses …

Numerous examples of microbial phase-separated biomolecular condensates have now
been identified following advances in fluorescence imaging and single molecule microscopy …

Biomolecular condensates play a key role in organizing RNAs and proteins into
membraneless organelles. Bacterial RNP-bodies (BR-bodies) are a biomolecular …

Fluorescence microscopy is an essential tool for the exploration of cell growth, division,
transcription and translation in eukaryotes and prokaryotes alike. Despite the rapid …
