Origins of eukaryotic excitability
All living cells interact dynamically with a constantly changing world. Eukaryotes, in
particular, evolved radically new ways to sense and react to their environment. These …

Cellular organization in lab-evolved and extant multicellular species obeys a maximum entropy law
The prevalence of multicellular organisms is due in part to their ability to form complex
structures. How cells pack in these structures is a fundamental biophysical issue, underlying …

Vertically migrating phytoplankton fuel high oceanic primary production
Marine net primary production (NPP) is remarkably high given the typical vertical separation
of 50–150 m between the depth zones of light and nutrient sufficiency, respectively. Here we …

High-definition DIC imaging uncovers transient stages of pathogen infection cycles on the surface of human adult stem cell-derived intestinal epithelium
Interactions between individual pathogenic microbes and host tissues involve fast and
dynamic processes that ultimately impact the outcome of infection. Using live-cell …
