The paper investigates spindle positioning in ascidian embryos, showing that cortical pulling and cytoplasmic dynein forces act sequentially to generate mirror symmetric and unequal divisions.

This study shows that mycoloyltransferases are essential for mycomembrane assembly and cell division in Corynebacterium glutamicum, independent of their role in mycolic acid transfer.

This study shows that Campylobacter jejuni Bf extracellular vesicles help the bacteria adapt and survive under combined thermal and oxidative stress by altering membrane composition and increasing toxicity to epithelial cells.

This study examines biofilm formation and properties of C. difficile undomesticated strains, finding that ribotype 009 strains form highly adhesive biofilms and show increased vancomycin tolerance.

The paper investigates the role of the midbody remnant from the first polar body (PB1) in directing the precise site of the second polar body (PB2) emission during meiosis II in ascidian eggs.
