The paper analyzes thermodynamic dissipation in unicellular growth and identifies two empirical rules linking dissipation to metabolic versatility and efficiency.

This study shows that disrupting plasma membrane lipid asymmetry in mammalian cells alters cellular energetics by shifting metabolism from anabolic to catabolic states.

The paper identifies early metabolic imbalances as drivers of phenotypic variation in stembryos and shows how metabolic interventions can correct aberrant morphology and lineage bias.

This study determines the high-resolution structure of the ciliary glycocalyx in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and identifies FMG1B as a mucin-like protein with unique glycosylation features.

The paper measures the energetic costs of early zebrafish embryogenesis and finds that heat dissipation scales with plasma membrane maintenance rather than cell number.

This study shows that the intestine produces systemic Hedgehog in Drosophila larvae, linking nutrition to growth and developmental timing through hormonal signaling.
