This study shows that dilute swimming bacteria enhance taxis through collective migration without clustering, by suppressing orientation fluctuations and preventing population dispersion.

This paper develops an mRNA vaccine platform that integrates immunostimulatory dsRNA into antigen-encoding mRNA to enhance cancer immunotherapy, showing effective activation of dendritic cells and therapeutic effects in mouse models.

The paper investigates how the balance of membrane binding and dissociation of MinD determines wave mode selection in Min waves reconstituted in artificial cells.

The paper shows that cell-sized confinement affects the emergence and stability of Min waves by altering protein localization efficiency and system excitability.
