Cryptophycins are a group of cyclodepsipeptides that are among the most potent anti-proliferative agents ever described. The parent compound, cryptophycin-1 was isolated from two Nostoc cyanobacterial strains (ATCC 53789 and GSV224), and it binds tightly to tubulin, inhibits microtubule […]

Podospora anserina (Rabenh.) Niessl is a model fungus that was shown to belong to a complex of seven species with morphologically indistinguishable sexual fruiting bodies. Through the morphological analyses and ITS (Intergenic Transcribed Spacer) sequences of 86 newly-isolated strains, as well as […]

Thanks to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, the diversity of fungi can now be investigated through the analysis of their genome sequences. Naviculisporaceae is a family within the Sordariales, whose diversity is not well-known, with only one genome sequence published for this family. […]

Much of today's sustainability discourse emphasizes efficiency, clean technologies, and smart systems, but largely underestimates fundamental physical constraints relating to energy-matter interactions. These constraints stem from the fact that Earth is a materially closed yet energetically open […]

Proprioception is the integrated sense of self-movement and body position in complex organisms. Here we describe a novel, mechanical form of proprioception driving directional choice making in tip-growing helical organisms. We show that C. albicans hyphae utilize their built-in helicity as an […]

We have developed spontaneously blinking fluorescent probes based on the reversible spirolactamization of rhodamine, to efficiently image the plasma membrane (PM) of live cells with enhanced resolution using SMLM. This study demonstrates that the blinking efficiency of spiroamide PM probes is not […]
