The paper shows that the ParMR system in Anabaena sp. has evolved into a cytoskeletal system, CorMR, that controls cell shape instead of DNA segregation.

This study identifies the C-terminal linker of FtsZ as a curvature tuner that scales Z-ring diameter with cell width through charge segregation.

This study identifies PBP1b's specialized role in E. coli division site fortification against osmotic rupture, showing it functions independently of LpoB and requires an extended N-terminus for recruitment by FtsA.

This study compares the structural and functional mechanisms of Mon1-Ccz1 and Fuzzy-Inturned RabGEFs to explain their target specificity and membrane recruitment.

The paper studies a minimal Rab5 activation network to show how positive feedback leads to bistable switching and how controlling inactive Rab5 populations shapes network responses.
