A Coma Pattern-Based Autofocusing Method Resolves Bacterial Cold Shock Response at Single-Cell Level

This paper introduces LUNA, an autofocusing method that enables high-precision single-cell imaging of bacterial cold shock response, revealing three-phase adaptation dynamics and size regulation mechanisms.

Prophylactic Lipoxin A4 Attenuates Clostridioides difficile Infection by Augmenting Epithelial Barrier and Resolving Inflammation

This study shows that prophylactic Lipoxin A4 reduces Clostridioides difficile infection by improving epithelial barrier function and reducing inflammation in both in vitro and mouse models.

Colony pattern development of a synthetic bistable switch

The paper studies how a synthetic bistable switch drives colony pattern formation in bacteria through deterministic and noise-induced processes.
