In nature, the ten-micron small, single-cell microalgae are fantastic swimmers, propelled by their two whip-like flagella at the front. However, it wasn't clear what would happen if scientists ...

PHYSICOCHEMICAL characterization of components of flagella and cilia is essential for an understanding of the mechanisms underlying flagellar and ciliary movement. The so-called “9 + 2” fibres ...

Understanding archaeal metabolic gene regulation is technically challenging due to the difficulty of measuring gene expression dynamics in individual archaeal cells. Here, Dong et al. develop a ...
