Shaping Pulses to Control Bistable Biological Systems [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper we study how to shape temporal pulses to switch a bistable system between its stable steady states. Our motivation for pulse-based control comes from applications in synthetic biology, where it is generally difficult to implement real-time ...

Microbiome of Apical Intracanal and Extraradicular Biofilms From the Same Roots of Teeth With Persistent Apical Periodontitis: An Observational Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Bacterial biofilms around the apex are crucial in disease progression and persistence of apical periodontitis. While intracanal biofilms initiate infection, extraradicular biofilms contribute to treatment resistance and persistence. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of these biofilms may help elucidate mechanisms underlying persistent ...

Recurrent diphtheria outbreaks in Nigeria: A review of the underlying factors and remedies

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2023
Introduction The introduction of the diphtheria−tetanus−pertussis (DTP) vaccine into childhood immunization programs resulted in its widespread elimination in high‐income countries. However, Nigeria is currently experiencing an outbreak.

The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

Mono- and multidomain defense toxins of the RelE/ParE superfamily

mBio
Toxin–antitoxin (TA) modules are widely distributed across prokaryotes, often existing in large numbers despite their associated fitness costs. Most type II TA modules are bicistronic operons encoding a monodomain toxin and its cognate protein antitoxin.

Viable but Nonculturable State, a Survival Strategy for Salmonella in Aquatic Environments

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Transition of Salmonella from a culturable state to a viable but nonculturable state under various environmental stresses and current methods for detecting viable Salmonella in environmental samples. ABSTRACT In the relentless battle for survival, Salmonella has evolved mechanisms to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, fluctuating ...

Protein design and RNA design: Perspectives

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Advances in deep learning and generative modeling have transformed the landscape of protein and RNA design, enabling rapid and precise creation of novel biomolecules with tailored structures and functions. In protein design, generative deep learning frameworks now support backbone generation, sequence optimization, and joint sequence–structure

The vapB-vapC operon of Acidovorax citrulli functions as a bona-fide toxin-antitoxin module

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Toxin–antitoxin systems are commonly found on plasmids and chromosomes of bacteria and archaea. These systems appear as biscystronic genes encoding a stable toxin and a labile antitoxin, which protects the cells from the toxin’s activity. Under specific,
