- Mucoidy, a general mechanism for maintaining lytic phage in populations of bacteria2020FEMS Microbiology EcologyThis study demonstrates that overproduction of exopolysaccharides, "mucoidy", allows bacterial populations to be resistant to lytic bacteriophage infection. We found that spontaneous reversion from the mucoid state to the susceptible non-mucoid state allows these phage-resistant bacterial populations to maintain lytic viruses without greatly affecting the bacterial population density.
- Spinal V1 inhibitory interneuron clades differ in birthdate, projections to motoneurons, and heterogeneity2024eLifeThis study characterizes the various subtypes ("clades") of spinal V1 interneurons, describing their relative neurogenesis times, their distributions throughout the lumbar spinal cord, and their connections to motoneurons. It also investigates the molecular identities of further subdivisions within the Foxp2-V1 clade, and demonstrates that some of these Foxp2-V1s have connectivity that resembles reciprocal Ia inhibitory interneurons (IaINs).
