Statistical Physics of Self-Replication
, 2012 Self-replication is a capacity common to every species of living thing, and simple physical intuition dictates that such a process must invariably be fueled by the production of entropy. Here, we undertake to make this intuition rigorous and quantitative

Defense Systems and Prophage Detection in Streptococcus mutans Strains
Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although the species is extensively studied, limited data are available on antiphage defense systems (APDSs) in Streptococcus mutans. The present study aimed to explore the diversity and the occurrence of APDSs and to search for prophages in the genomes of clinical isolates of S. mutans using bioinformatics tools.

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 ...

Role of RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signalling pathway in sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (SA‐AKI) is a common clinical syndrome in critically ill patients, and its high mortality rate is closely related to complex pathological mechanisms. Existing studies have shown that the pathophysiological process of SA‐AKI involves complex multi‐mechanism interactions, including an uncontrolled systemic ...

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.
