Integrated Movement Models for Individual Tracking and Species Distribution Data

This paper introduces an integrated movement model to estimate population-level movement parameters by combining individual tracking and species distribution data, improving accuracy and enabling new population metrics.

Expanding the genome information on Bacillales for biosynthetic gene cluster discovery

This study presents 121 new Bacillales genomes, identifies 1,176 biosynthetic gene clusters, and provides open-access data to enhance research on secondary metabolite production.

CNC Knitting Micro-Resolution Mosquito Bite Blocking Textiles

The paper designs micro-resolution knitted textiles produced by robotic manufacturing to block mosquito bites and protect against vector-borne diseases.

Colistin kills bacteria by targeting lipopolysaccharide in the cytoplasmic membrane

This study reveals that colistin kills bacteria by targeting lipopolysaccharide in the cytoplasmic membrane, not the outer membrane, and shows that murepavadin can enhance its efficacy.

Genomic epidemiology and evolution of Escherichia coli in wild animals

This study analyzes whole genome sequencing data of commensal E. coli from wild animals to explore population structure, host associations, and the presence of virulence and antibiotic resistance genes.

Oxylipin metabolism is controlled by mitochondrial b-oxidation during bacterial inflammation.

This study shows that mitochondrial β-oxidation removes oxylipins during bacterial inflammation, with CPT1 playing a key role, and identifies associated genetic upregulation in human sepsis.

A one-dimensional individual-based mechanical model of cell movement in heterogeneous tissues and its coarse-grained approximation

The paper develops a multi-scale mathematical model to connect cellular-level mechanical properties with tissue-level outcomes, showing convergence between individual-based and coarse-grained models.
