Cell Cycle Arrest of a "Zippering" Epithelial Cell Cluster Shapes the Face and is Disrupted in Craniofacial Disorders

The paper identifies a novel epithelial population, Zippering Lambda, whose cell cycle arrest is critical for facial prominence fusion and is disrupted in orofacial clefting.

How individual P. aeruginosa cells with diverse stator distributions collectively form a heterogeneous macroscopic swarming population

The paper shows that P. aeruginosa cells with different stator distributions create a heterogeneous swarming population through dynamic stator recruitment and motor intermittency.

How cell penetrating peptides behave differently from pore forming peptides: structure and stability of induced transmembrane pores

The paper compares pore formation by antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) using SAXS data and geometric models to estimate pore sizes and stability.

Non-motile subpopulations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa repress flagellar motility in motile cells through a type IV pili- and Pel-dependent mechanism

The paper shows non-motile Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells repress swarming motility in motile cells via type IV pili and Pel exopolysaccharide.

Phenotypic differences in reversible attachment behavior reveal distinct P. aeruginosa surface colonization strategies

The paper examines reversible attachment behavior in P. aeruginosa strains PAO1 and PA14, revealing distinct surface colonization strategies through single-cell tracking and stochastic modeling.

Heterogeneity in surface sensing produces a division of labor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations

This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa develops two subpopulations with distinct c-di-GMP levels after surface attachment, leading to a division of labor in biofilm formation and surface exploration.

Extended hopanoid loss reduces bacterial motility and surface attachment and leads to heterogeneity in root nodule kinetics in a Bradyrhizobium-Aeschynomene symbiosis

This study shows that loss of extended hopanoids in Bradyrhizobium reduces bacterial motility and surface attachment, leading to heterogeneous root nodule development in Aeschynomene afraspera.
