The paper shows that MurJ, a Lipid II flippase, dynamically coordinates bacterial growth and division by transiently capturing at division sites during septal synthesis.

This study identifies how ZapA interacts with FtsZ to facilitate Z ring formation in E. coli by using a dual binding mechanism.

This study shows DolP is recruited to the division site via cardiolipin-mediated immobilization, revealing a mechanism for its septal enrichment in Escherichia coli.

The paper shows that SEDS-bPBP pairs initiate septal PG synthesis during bacterial cytokinesis, while class A PBPs reinforce the septal wall later in the process.

This study shows that the CRY2/CIB1 system can be used to precisely control protein localization in E. coli, enabling manipulation of cellular functions like cytokinesis.

The paper shows that histone H4 is asymmetrically inherited in Drosophila male germline stem cells during asymmetric division, while H2A and H2B are symmetrically inherited.

The paper improves 3D superresolution imaging by using weighted likelihood estimation to enhance z-axis localization precision, especially when PSFs deviate from standard models.

The bacterial tubulin FtsZ uses GTP hydrolysis to power treadmilling, driving processive synthesis of the septal cell wall.
