The link comes with gorillas! 😂 Persister cells surprising us by forming at peak growth rate. What does this mean for our understanding of their function? tinyurl.com/3r4f97w5 @royalsocietypublishing.org @uphoff.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social @sarandavies.bsky.social
High growth rates can promote persister cell formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Abstract. Bacterial persister cells are characterized by arrested growth and survival in normally lethal antibiotic concentrations. Observations of persist

Big congratulations to @sarandavies.bsky.social on publishing this work from her DPhil. A dogged and determined and brilliant young scientist. And we couldn't have done it without our wonderful collaborator - @divyach.bsky.social from the @uphoff.bsky.social lab. Big team effort 🫶
Excited to share our latest work with Guanming Zhang and @stemartiniani.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com, where we uncover universal long-range structure in three distinct noisy particle systems spanning soft matter and machine learning. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Emergent universal long-range structure in random-organizing systems - Nature Communications
Noise is usually associated with disorder, but it can also generate large-scale order. Here, the authors show that three distinct systems, spanning soft matter and stochastic optimization, self-organi...

Unveiling hidden variables in stressed bacteria
Noise in bacterial stress responses is often dismissed as mere randomness. While true stochasticity exists, much variation reflects hidden variables—cell state, history, and microenvironment—that are ...

1/ With @maxencevincent.bsky.social, we ask: when single bacterial cells behave differently under stress, is it really just “noise”? Read more @cp-cellreports.bsky.social : Unveiling hidden variables in stressed bacteria (doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...)

The master regulator OxyR orchestrates bacterial oxidative stress response genes in space and time
Bacteria rewire gene expression to survive stress, but the logic of these changes can remain elusive in bulk studies. Using single-cell imaging, Choudhary et al. reveal that the gene expression patter...
