This study shows that membrane potential mediates cellular responses to mechanical pressure by regulating cell growth, proliferation, and elimination through Hippo and MAPK pathways.

This study shows that nutrient quality in bacteria is a plastic property shaped by proteome allocation, not a fixed biochemical constraint, and can be modified through genetic engineering.

This study shows that turgor pressure in E. coli increases with growth rate and directly controls cell wall biosynthesis rate.

This study shows that E. coli growth rates on carbon source combinations depend on prior growth conditions, persisting for 15 generations and involving the transcription factor Mlc.

The paper investigates trade-offs in microbial central carbon metabolism, showing that glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways cannot be optimized simultaneously due to regulatory limitations.
