Caulobacter crescentus provides a robust model for exploring the complexities of bacterial cell cycle regulation. Its unique life cycle, typified by an asymmetric division that produces distinct ...

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

This important study implicates that changes in cell regulation may contribute to the evolution of multicellularity. The evidence supporting the conclusions is convincing, with rigorous methods used ...
