Understanding the structure, functionalities and biology of functional amyloids is an issue of
emerging interest. Inclusion bodies, namely protein clusters formed in recombinant bacteria …

Longevity reflects the ability to maintain homeostatic conditions necessary for life as an
organism ages. A long-lived organism must contend not only with environmental hazards …

The plastic architecture of the mitochondrial network and its dynamic structure play crucial
roles ensuring that varying energetic demands are rapidly met. Given the brain's high …

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) enhance the breakdown of metabolites such as 1, 2-
propanediol (1, 2-PD) to propionic acid. The encapsulation of proteins within the BMC is …

Background: Bacterial persistence to antibiotics relates to the phenotypic ability to survive
lethal concentrations of otherwise bactericidal antibiotics. The quantitative nature of the time …

Bacteria have been thought to flee senescence by dividing into two identical daughter cells,
but this notion of immortality has changed over the last two decades. Asymmetry between …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biomolecules has emerged as a new paradigm in
cell biology, and the process is one proposed mechanism for the formation of membraneless …

The fast-growing Vibrio natriegens is an attractive robust chassis for diverse synthetic
biology applications. However, V. natriegens lacks the suitable constitutive regulatory parts …

Autolysosomal dysfunction and unstable microtubules are hallmarks of chronic
neurodegenerative diseases associated with misfolded proteins. Investigation of impaired …

It has been historically thought that in conditions that permit growth, most unicellular species
do not to age. This was particularly thought to be the case for symmetrically dividing species …
