This study identifies the active export of AgrD (1-32) thiolactone by AbcA and PmtCD transporters, enabling AIP production on the cell surface via MroQ protease.

The paper studies how resistant and sensitive E. faecalis bacteria interact under antibiotic stress, showing cooperative behavior that allows survival at high drug concentrations.

The paper decodes locomotion from population neural activity in C. elegans, finding that neural populations, not single neurons, better decode movement and that immobilization alters neural correlations.
