The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

L’accent français en Allemagne, l’accent allemand en France - apparition, perception et disparition d'un signe identitaire distinctif [PDF]
L’accent est la prononciation spécifique d’un étranger qui parle une autre langue que sa langue maternelle. Même s’il s’installe dans son pays d’accueil et s’il ressemble physiquement à la majorité de ses habitants, son accent le trahira : ouvrir la ...

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Accents et insécurité linguistique en cours d’anglais : le cas d’étudiants de LEA
This article explores the process of learning a foreign language from a sociolinguistic point of view. More specifically, it investigates students’ accents and linguistic insecurity, in relation to certain linguistic norms prescribed by the curriculum ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

An analysis and description of case marking in four Persian dialects of Khuzestan [PDF]
Case marking is one way of showing grammatical relationships between the constituents in the sentences. In this study, case marking will be discussed in four Persian dialects of Khuzestan, namely Dezfuli, Shushtari, Behbahani and Hendijani.

The Perception of Accent in Nonnative Speakers of English: A Case of Identity
Why is there a hierarchical structure for the acquisition and instructing of the English language? Why are some forms of English pronunciation (namely RP) still considered superior, better or just preferred? Is it prestige?

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Modelling prominence and emphasis improves unit-selection synthesis
We describe the results of large scale perception experiments showing improvements in synthesising two distinct kinds of prominence: standard pitch-accent and strong emphatic accents.
