Cell size and the cell cycle are intrinsically coupled and abnormal increases in cell size are associated with senescence and permanent cell cycle arrest. The mechanism by which overgrowth primes cells to withdraw from the cell cycle remains unknown. We investigate this here using CDK4/6 inhibito...
Microorganisms can adopt a quiescent physiological condition which acts as a survival strategy under unfavourable conditions. Quiescent cells are characterized by slow or non-proliferation and deep down-regulation of processes related to biosynthesis. Although quiescence has been described mostly...
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrhea in children and adults in endemic areas. Gene regulation of ETEC during growth in vitro and in vivo needs to be further evaluated, and here we describe the full transcriptome and metabolome of ETEC dur...
