The paper develops a continuum model to study interfacial morphodynamics in microbial communities, finding that interface stability depends on cell proliferation rates and substrate friction.

This study develops a theoretical model of bacteria-phage interactions showing how non-reciprocal predator-prey dynamics lead to complex spatial patterns in bacterial and phage organization.

This study shows that electrical stimulation can rapidly inflate hollow epithelial tissues by creating ion gradients and osmotic pressure, leading to significant changes in tissue volume and shape.

This study shows that 3D bacterial colonies develop a rough, branched morphology due to nutrient limitations, differing from 2D colonies.

This study shows that DNA-pumping driven forespore inflation generates membrane tension required for FisB-mediated membrane fission during bacterial spore development.

This study identifies that FisB catalyzes bacterial membrane fission through homo-oligomerization and lipid-binding, without requiring curvature sensing or lipid microdomains.
