Physically asymmetric division of the C. elegans zygote ensures invariably successful embryogenesis
eLife, 2021 Asymmetric divisions that yield daughter cells of different sizes are frequent during early embryogenesis, but the importance of such a physical difference for successful development remains poorly understood.

Current Biology, 2021 A fundamental and still mysterious question in cell biology is "How do cells know how big they are?". The fact that they do is evident from the strict maintenance of size homeostasis within populations of cells and has been verified by a variety of creative experiments over the past 100 years.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Small erythrocytes might be beneficial for blood rheology, as they contribute less to blood viscosity than large erythrocytes. We predicted that rheological disadvantages of larger erythrocytes could be alleviated by relatively smaller nucleus size in ...

Microorganisms, 2021 Cell size of phytoplankton is known to influence their physiologies and, consequently, marine primary production. To characterize the cell size-dependent photophysiology of phytoplankton, we comparably explored the photosynthetic characteristics of ...

Cell-size control: Complicated [PDF]
Cell Cycle, 2014 Cells usually grow to a proper size before they divide. To ensure an optimal size for cell survival and function, it is crucial that cells develop efficient and sensitive mechanisms for cell-size control. In 2009, 2 independent studies proposed that the DYRK-family kinase Pom1 could serve as a cell-length sensor to negatively regulate mitotic entry ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Relationships between ribotypic and phenotypic traits of protists across life cycle stages remain largely unknown. Herein, we used single cells of two soil and two marine ciliate species to examine phenotypic and ribotypic traits and their relationships ...

Temperature Responses of Heterotrophic Bacteria in Co-culture With a Red Sea Synechococcus Strain
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Interactions between autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria are fundamental for marine biogeochemical cycling. How global warming will affect the dynamics of these essential microbial players is not fully understood.

Cell Cycle Arrest by Supraoptimal Temperature in the Alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Cells, 2019 Temperature is one of the key factors affecting growth and division of algal cells. High temperature inhibits the cell cycle in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
