Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology
Dilimulati Aierken, Sebastian Aland, Stefano Bo +38
Biomolecular condensates govern essential cellular processes yet elude description by traditional equilibrium models. This roadmap, distilled from structured discussions at a works…
Accelerated Ostwald ripening by chemical activity
Benjamin Sorkin, Ned S. Wingreen
Phase separation of biomolecular condensates promotes membrane-free compartmentalization in cells. The dynamics of these biocondensates is routinely regulated by energy-consuming p…
Enzyme regulation and mutation in a model serial dilution ecosystem
Amir Erez, Jaime G. Lopez, Yigal Meir +1
Microbial communities are ubiquitous in nature and come in a multitude of forms, ranging from communities dominated by a handful of species to communities containing a wide variety…
Topological defects promote layer formation in Myxococcus xanthus colonies
Katherine Copenhagen, Ricard Alert, Ned S. Wingreen +1
The soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus lives in densely packed groups that form dynamic three-dimensional patterns in response to environmental changes, such as droplet-like fruitin…
Non-uniform growth and surface friction determine bacterial biofilm morphology on soft substrates
Chenyi Fei, Sheng Mao, Jing Yan +5
During development, organisms acquire three-dimensional shapes with important physiological consequences. While the basic mechanisms underlying morphogenesis are known in eukaryote…
Nutrient levels and trade-offs control diversity in a serial dilution ecosystem
Amir Erez, Jaime G. Lopez, Benjamin Weiner +2
Microbial communities feature an immense diversity of species and this diversity is linked with outcomes ranging from ecosystem stability to medical prognoses. Yet the mechanisms u…
