Excited to share our new preprint on bacterial learning, with @sifangwei.bsky.social. Here we show that single bacterial cells can continually learn in dynamic environments, due to an underlying reaction network architecture that resemble a recurrent neural network

Power-law memory governs bacterial adaptation and learning in fluctuating environments
How do single-celled organisms adapt and learn to survive in dynamic environments without a nervous system? Here, we provide experimental evidence and a theoretical model demonstrating learning-like b...

Read about our latest work on centrosome size control, Version of Record now available @elife.bsky.social
When a cell divides, its centrosome splits in two—and cell division can go catastrophically wrong if the two centrosomes grow to different sizes. How does the cell regulate centrosome size? Deb Banerjee and @shilabanerjee.bsky.social present a novel model in a new @elife.bsky.social paper!

How can subterranean organisms be observed as they move underground? A recent paper from Dan Goldman's CRAB Lab presents Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI) as a non-invasive way to view organisms as they move through granular media. #Physics #Biology doi.org/10.1242/jeb....
Detecting subtle subterranean movement via laser speckle imaging

A betrayal to those who opted for the new framework. Why not simply accept/reject then?
After listening to community feedback, we will provide a partial feed allowing 93% of eLife authors to continue being indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. We will also move from the Scopus Journals Collection to the Scopus Preprints Collection.

How do physical forces influence spatiotemporal cell patterning during tissue morphogenesis? Our latest preprint integrates theoretical modeling with live imaging of mouse embryos to reveal how mechanosensitive feedback drives self-organized cell patterning during hindbrain neuropore morphogenesis.
