Discordance in Genotypic and Phenotypic anti-tuberculosis drug susceptibility results: time to reconsider critical concentration.

The paper identifies phenotypic and genotypic discordance in rifampicin resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates, showing 15% of isolates misclassified as susceptible despite low-level resistance mutations.

Binary decision between asymmetric and symmetric cell division is defined by the balance of PAR proteins in C. elegans embryos

The paper shows that the balance between PAR-2 and PAR-6 proteins determines whether C. elegans embryos undergo asymmetric or symmetric cell division.
