Single Cell Biology: Exploring Somatic Cell Behaviors, Competition and Selection in Chronic Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 The full range of cell functions is under-determined in most human diseases. The evidence that somatic cell competition and clonal imbalance play a role in non-neoplastic chronic disease reveal a need for a dedicated effort to explore single cell ...

Competition-based screening helps to secure the evolutionary stability of a defensive microbiome
BMC Biology, 2021 Background The cuticular microbiomes of Acromyrmex leaf-cutting ants pose a conundrum in microbiome biology because they are freely colonisable, and yet the prevalence of the vertically transmitted bacteria Pseudonocardia, which contributes to the ...
