Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Evolutionary dynamics of group formation

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2017
We introduce a model, based on the Evolutionary Game Theory, for studying the dynamics of group formation. The latter constitutes a relevant phenomenon observed in different animal species, whose individuals tend to cluster together forming groups of different size.

What makes a successful species? Traits facilitating survival in altered tropical forests

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2017
Background Ongoing conversion, disturbance and fragmentation of tropical forests stress this ecosystem and cause the decline or disappearance of many species.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Survival of dominated strategies under evolutionary dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We show that any evolutionary dynamic that satisfies three mild requirements— continuity, positive correlation, and innovation—does not eliminate strictly dominated strategies in all games.

Light-Driven Ecological-Evolutionary Dynamics in a Synthetic Replicator System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Natural selection is the cornerstone of Darwinian evolution and acts on reproducing entities exhibiting variations that can be inherited and selected for based on, among others, interactions with the environment.

Reconstructing metastatic seeding patterns of human cancers

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Tumours frequently metastasize to multiple anatomical sites and understanding how these different metastases evolve may be important for therapy. Here, the authors develop a method—Treeomics—that can construct phylogenies from multiple metastases from ...

Structurally rich dry grasslands – Potential stepping stones for bats in open farmland

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Agricultural intensification has caused decrease and fragmentation of European semi-natural dry grasslands. While a high biodiversity value of dry grasslands is acknowledged for plants and insects, locally and on landscape level, their relevance for ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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.

Synthetic Symbiosis under Environmental Disturbances

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
By virtue of complex ecologies, the behavior of mutualisms is challenging to study and nearly impossible to predict. However, laboratory engineered mutualistic systems facilitate a better understanding of their bare essentials.
