1. Too close for comfort : The role of Contact-Dependent growth Inhibition (CDI) in interbacterial competition and cooperation
Abstract : Contact-Dependent growth inhibition (CDI) was discovered in 2005 in the E. coli isolate EC93. Since then our knowledge of CDI systems and their impact on bacterial communities have increased exponentially. READ MORE

2. Molecular characterization of the Drosophila responses towards nematodes
Abstract : A sophisticated evolutionary conserved innate immune system has evolved in insects to fight pathogens and to restrict damage in harmful (danger) situations including cancer. A significant amount of knowledge about different infection models in Drosophila has been generated in past decades, which revealed functional resemblances and implications for vertebrate systems.

3. Clonal structures and cell interactions in cancer
Abstract : Despite sharing an identical genome, cells of higher order multicellular organisms display a large degree of phenotypic diversity. This diversity is maintained by a sophisticated regulatory machinery that integrates information from both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, ultimately coordinating the appropriate gene expression.

4. The role of the mitochondrial membrane system in apoptosis : the influence of oxidative stress on membranes and their interactions with apoptosis-regulating Bcl-2 proteins
Abstract : Apoptosis is a crucial process in multicellular organisms in sculpting them, especially during embryogenesis. In addition, apoptosis is responsible for the clearance of harmful or damaged cells which can otherwise be detrimental to the organism. READ MORE

5. Cell-matrix interactions : master regulators of cancer cell fate?
Abstract : The development and homeostasis of a multicellular organism require fundamental biological processes like cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration, and controlled cell death. The extracellular matrix (ECM) guides many of these functions, via cell-matrix interactions that function as mechanical and biochemical signaling hubs. READ MORE
