Processing-in-memory (PIM) chips that integrate processor logic into memory devices offer a new opportunity for bridging the growing gap between processor and memory speeds, especially for application...
Neuropsychological studies suggest a distinction between neural systems that mediate two classes of spatial mental transformations: egocentric perspective transformations (imagin...
Teichoic acids (TAs) are anionic polymers that constitute a major component of the cell wall in most Gram-positive bacteria. Despite decades of study, their function has remained unclear. TAs are cova...
We have developed several new fluorescent staining procedures that enabled us to study the synthesis of cell wall material in the spherical Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The results o...
Bacterial actin homologues are thought to have a role in cell shape determination by positioning the cell wall synthetic machinery. They are also thought to control other functions, including cell pol...
Actin homologues of the MreB family have an important role in specifying the morphology of many non-spherical eubacteria. The mreC and mreD genes have been implicated in control of cell morphology but...
