Impact of flagellated and elongated morphological phenotypes on the focusing behaviours of biological cells in inertial microfluidic devices

This paper studies how morphological traits of Leishmania mexicana cells affect their focusing behavior in inertial microfluidic devices, finding that cell shape and flagellation influence focusing patterns, which can be overcome at high Reynolds numbers.

Analysis of the Leishmania mexicana promastigote cell cycle using imaging flow cytometry provides new insights into cell cycle flexibility and events of short duration.

This paper develops an imaging flow cytometry pipeline to analyze the cell cycle of Leishmania mexicana promastigotes, revealing new insights into cell cycle timing and flexibility.

Crosslinking by ZapD drives the assembly of short FtsZ filaments into toroidal structures in solution

This study shows ZapD crosslinks FtsZ filaments into toroidal structures, revealing how crosslinking density and geometry enable Z ring formation in bacteria.

Nest site selection and productivity of a critically endangered parrot, the great green macaw (Ara ambiguus) in an anthropogenic landscape

This study examines nest site selection and productivity of great green macaws in an anthropogenic landscape, finding that they select cavities based on specific features and that productivity is influenced by these features.

Drinkable, liquid in situ-forming and tough hydrogels for gastrointestinal therapeutics

This paper develops LIFT hydrogels that form in the stomach to deliver drugs with controlled release, improving bioavailability and reducing toxicity.

Synthetic extremophiles: Species-specific formulations for microbial therapeutics and beyond.

The paper develops synthetic extremophiles to enhance microbial viability under extreme conditions, demonstrating stability improvements for key industrial organisms.

RANK is an independent biomarker of poor prognosis in estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer and a therapeutic target in patient-derived xenografts

This study shows RANK is a poor prognosis biomarker in ER-negative breast cancer and that targeting RANK improves outcomes in patient-derived xenografts.

GPCRmd uncovers the dynamics of the 3D-GPCRome

GPCRmd provides an online platform for visualizing and analyzing GPCR molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating its utility through analyses of internal water networks and sodium ion interactions.

Phylodynamics of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Spain

This study uses phylogenetic analysis to trace the origin and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Spain, identifying multiple introductions and local transmission clusters.

New insights of the local immune response against both fertile and infertile hydatid cysts

The paper investigates immune infiltration in fertile and infertile hydatid cysts, finding that immune cells disrupt the laminated layer in infertile cysts, potentially causing infertility.

Escherichia coli ZipA organizes FtsZ polymers into dynamic ring-like protofilament structures

This paper shows ZipA does not reduce FtsZ dynamics by bundling but instead allows dynamic FtsZ vortices at low surface densities on lipid membranes.
