This study investigates multimer formation in synthetic biology plasmids and presents a strain modification to prevent it.

This study measures longitudinal cortisol levels in bipolar disorder using hair samples and links cortisol dynamics to mood episodes through mathematical modeling.

This paper designs a synthetic stem-cell circuit in E. coli with biphasic fitness to test a theory about mutation resistance in differentiation, finding it robust to mutations and environmental pressures.

The paper measures antibiotic-mediated bacterial death and finds death rate is linear with growth rate but varies with environmental stress.

The paper derives and tests a growth law for bacterial upshifts, showing that post-shift growth rate is the geometric mean of pre-shift growth and saturating carbon growth, supported by experiments and theoretical analysis.

The paper uses dynamic proteomics to study HSV1 infection in individual cells, finding preexisting cell-state differences influence infection outcomes.
