This study evaluates the antifungal efficacy and resistance evolution of novel carbon dots (Flu-Clo CDs) against yeast, showing comparable inhibition to fluconazole and rapid resistance development.

The paper quantifies fitness costs of gene expression noise and shows that translation, not transcription, is the primary target of noise control, with stronger selection pressures in small prokaryotes than in larger eukaryotes.
