120(11):e2214211120.
PMID: 36881625
During the biofilm life cycle, bacteria attach to a surface and then reproduce, forming crowded, growing communities. Many theoretical models of biofilm growth dynamics have been proposed; however, difficulties in...

PMID: 36711513
The evolution of multicellular life spurred evolutionary radiations, fundamentally changing many of Earth’s ecosystems. Yet little is known about how early steps in the evolution of multicellularity transform eco-evolutionary dynamics,...

Biophys Rev (Melville)
. 2022 Jun;
3(2):021305.
PMID: 35673523
The diversity of multicellular organisms is, in large part, due to the fact that multicellularity has independently evolved many times. Nonetheless, multicellular organisms all share a universal biophysical trait: cells...

mBio
. 2022 May;
13(3):e0042222.
PMID: 35604123
Mutations in regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression contribute to phenotypic diversity and thus facilitate the adaptation of microbes and other organisms to new niches. Comparative genomics can be used...

PMID: 35188101
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 their functional...
