Abstract: There are many strategies by which cell fates are decided. In one intriguing case, viruses communicate via the quorum-sensing-like 'arbitrium' system to bias infection outcomes. Through elucidating the detailed molecular mechanisms of such strategies, we… read more here.

Abstract: SignificanceBacteriophages, the most widespread reproducing biological entity on Earth, employ two strategies of virus-host interaction: lysis of the host cell and lysogeny whereby the virus genome integrates into the host genome and propagates vertically with… read more here.
