The past decade has revealed the diversity and ubiquity of archaea in nature, with a growing
number of studies highlighting their importance in ecology, biotechnology and even human …

Compared with the extensive knowledge on cell division in model eukaryotes and bacteria,
little is known about how archaea divide. Interestingly, both endosomal sorting complex …

Thermophiles are microorganisms that thrive at high temperature. Studying them can
provide valuable information on how life has adapted to extreme conditions. However, high …

Bacterial motility plays a key role in important cell processes such as chemotaxis and biofilm
formation, but is challenging to quantify due to the small size of the individual …

Amongst the major types of archaeal filaments, several have been shown to closely
resemble bacterial homologues of the Type IV pili (T4P). Within Sulfolobales, member …

Archaea are key players in many critical ecological processes. In comparison to eukaryotes
and bacteria, however, our understanding of both the cell biology and diversity of archaea …

The Cdv system is the protein machinery that performs cell division and other membrane-
deforming processes in a subset of archaea. Evolutionarily, the system is closely related to …

Live-cell imaging has revolutionized our understanding of dynamic cellular processes in
bacteria and eukaryotes. Although similar techniques have been applied to the study of …

Since first identified as a separate domain of life in the 1970s, it has become clear that
archaea differ profoundly from both eukaryotes and bacteria. In this review, we look across …

Actin and actin-like proteins form filamentous polymers that carry out important cellular
functions in all domains of life. In this review, we sketch a map of the function and regulation …
