Effectiveness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa type VI secretion system relies on toxin potency and type IV pili-dependent interaction

This study investigates how the effectiveness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa's type VI secretion system depends on toxin potency and type IV pili-mediated interactions in competitive bacterial communities.

Design principles for selective polarization of PAR proteins by cortical flows

The paper shows that PAR protein segregation by cortical flows depends on membrane association stability rather than oligomer size, and demonstrates this through experiments and theory.

Comparison of solitary and collective foraging strategies of Caenorhabditis elegans in patchy food distributions

This study compares solitary and collective foraging strategies in C. elegans, finding that solitary worms outperform social ones in patchy food environments despite theoretical advantages of group formation.

A Critical-like Collective State Leads to Long-range Cell Communication in Dictyostelium discoideum Aggregation

The paper develops a multiscale model of Dictyostelium discoideum aggregation, showing that critical-like collective states enable long-range cell communication and optimal spore dispersal.

Cell wall remodeling drives engulfment during Bacillus subtilis sporulation

This study identifies cell wall remodeling as the mechanism driving membrane movement during Bacillus subtilis sporulation.
