Turbulent mixing controls fixation of growing antagonistic populations [PDF]
PNAS 122 (7) e2417075122 (2025)Unlike coffee and cream that homogenize when stirred, growing micro-organisms (e.g., bacteria, baker's yeast) can actively kill each other and avoid mixing. How do such antagonistic interactions impact the growth and survival of competing strains, while being spatially advected by turbulent flows? By using numerical simulations of a continuum model, we

Direct Stimulation of Gastric Smooth Muscle Cells via Gq Proteins With Light
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Optogenetic stimulation enables direct and selective stimulation of smooth muscle cells and thus provides a new opportunity to restore gastric contractility in cases of gastroparesis. Herein, we demonstrate that hOPN5 is a new and effective tool acting via Gq signaling and is thus complementary to light‐induced membrane depolarization with ...
