Regulation of polarity during morphological transitions in Aureobasidium pullulans

This study investigates the regulation of cell polarity during morphological transitions in Aureobasidium pullulans, showing that Rac1 and Cdc42 have distinct roles in different growth modes.

Optimal cues for transmission investment in malaria parasites

This study identifies optimal environmental cues for malaria parasites to maximize reproductive success by analyzing how different cues affect transmission investment strategies.

Evolutionary and functional divergence of Sfx, a plasmid-encoded H-NS homolog, underlies the regulation of IncX plasmid conjugation

This study investigates Sfx, a plasmid-encoded H-NS homolog, showing it represses conjugation and evolves under positive selection to regulate IncX plasmid function.
