The proliferation of drug resistance in microbial pathogens poses a significant threat to
human health. Hence, treatment measures are essential to surmount this growing problem …

Exosomes are cell-derived structures packaged with lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. They
exist in diverse bodily fluids and are involved in physiological and pathological processes …

Cell size and cell count are adaptively regulated and intimately linked to growth and
function. Yet, despite their widespread relevance, the relation between cell size and count …

Polyploidy is a key mechanism of genome evolution and speciation, particularly in plants.
Many aspects of polyploidy have been elucidated with the tools that have become available …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD), which leads to polyploidy, is implicated in adaptation
and speciation. But what are the immediate effects of WGD and how do newly polyploid …

Though cell size varies between different cells and across species, the nuclear-to-
cytoplasmic (N/C) ratio is largely maintained across species and within cell types. A cell …

Astrocytes are the largest group of glial cells in the brain and participate in several essential
functions of the central nervous system (CNS). Disruption of their normal physiological …

It is remarkable how robustly a bacterial species can maintain its preferred size. This
capacity is intimately related to control of the cell cycle: cell size and growth rate determine …

Cell size and growth kinetics are fundamental cellular properties with important
physiological implications. Classical studies on yeast, and recently on bacteria, have …
