This study shows that S. aureus enters a viable but non-culturable state when competing with P. aeruginosa, altering its metabolism and survival strategies in response to antibiotics.

This study identifies the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) as essential for shell gland formation and shell secretion in molluscs, showing its role in developmental regulation and evolutionary adaptation.

This study shows that subpopulations of stationary phase bacteria resist antimicrobial peptides through enhanced efflux and other mechanisms, and suggests combining tachyplesin with sertraline to combat resistance.

The paper identifies a missense mutation in the edaradd gene causing developmental defects in ectodermal appendages in the mangrove killifish, confirming its role in fin and epithelial tissue development via the EDA signaling pathway.
