Microbial single cell analysis has led to discoveries that are beyond what can be resolved
with population-based studies. It provides a pristine view of the mechanisms that organize …

Uncovering the quantitative laws that govern the growth and division of single cells remains
a major challenge. Using a unique combination of technologies that yields unprecedented …

Many aspects of the behaviors of physical, chemical, and biological systems can be
understood simply in terms of the dynamics of the averaged state variables and their …

To maximize their fitness, cells must be able to respond effectively to stresses. This demands
making trade-offs between processes that conserve resources to promote survival, and …

Biomolecular condensates formed via liquid-liquid phase separation enable spatial and
temporal organization of enzyme activity. Phase separation in many eukaryotic condensates …

We study a one-dimensional three-state run-and-tumble model motivated by the bacterium
Caulobacter crescentus which displays a cell cycle between two non-proliferating mobile …

A considerable share of bacterial species maintains multipartite genomes. Precise
coordination of genome replication and segregation with cell growth and division is vital for …

Proliferating bacterial cells exhibit stochastic growth and size dynamics, but the regulation of
noise in bacterial growth and morphogenesis remains poorly understood. A quantitative …

Although diminutive in size, bacteria possess highly diverse and spatially confined cellular
structures. Two related alphaproteobacteria, Sinorhizobium meliloti and Caulobacter …

We investigate the intergenerational shape dynamics of single Caulobacter crescentus cells
using a novel combination of imaging techniques and theoretical modeling. We determine …
