The paper investigates bacterial warfare by analyzing toxin production in Escherichia coli, finding that localized toxin bursts are more effective than uniform production in structured populations.

The paper shows how inherited flagellar structures coordinate swimming onset in E. coli cells by integrating transcriptional noise and sharpening it into a heritable decision.

This paper engineers bacteria to produce siderophores, enhancing olivine dissolution for CO2 removal, achieving 0.50 g CO2 per day removal in pilot reactors.

The paper uses multi-generational imaging to study essential genes in E. coli, revealing new mechanisms behind growth laws and identifying unknown gene functions.

This paper engineers a long-acting prolactin variant to enhance lactation, showing it increases milk production and restores pup growth in mice.

The paper introduces LanTERN, a fluorescent sensor engineered to bind lanthanides with high specificity and fluorescence response.
