This paper introduces LUNA, an autofocusing method that enables high-precision single-cell imaging of bacterial cold shock response, revealing three-phase adaptation dynamics and size regulation mechanisms.

This paper shows that DNA replication initiation in E. coli sets a fixed mass increment for cell division, resolving conflicting models of division timing.

The paper shows that self-destructive cooperation can persist under strong segregation by using engineered bacteria and automated experiments.

The paper shows that increased bacterial motility during range expansion reduces phage spread by spatially sorting infected and uninfected cells, leading to migratory culling of viruses.

This paper introduces a new constraint-based model to predict metabolic flux dynamics in fluctuating environments by integrating metabolism, resource allocation, and gene regulation.

The paper studies how a synthetic bistable switch drives colony pattern formation in bacteria through deterministic and noise-induced processes.

This study develops a computational framework to model how bacteria coordinate metabolic flux and proteome allocation during nutrient changes, revealing insights into growth transitions.

The paper shows that growth rate variations alter gene expression responses, leading to bifurcations in cell-fate decision landscapes.
