This study shows that genetic division of labor in Bacillus subtilis enhances biofilm productivity by allowing specialized mutants to exchange matrix components, outperforming phenotypic specialization.

This study identifies Hedgehog signaling to cancer-associated fibroblasts as a driver of cancer stem cell plasticity and chemoresistance in TNBC, showing that targeting this pathway with smoothened inhibitors improves survival in preclinical models and clinical trials.

This study shows how Bacillus subtilis biofilms evolve into distinct colony variants with different biofilm-forming abilities and interactions, driven by genetic changes and complementarity effects.
