Transmission Electron Microscopy Studies of Cellular Responses to Entry of Virions: One Kind of Natural Nanobiomaterial by Zheng Liu, Shuyu Liu, Jinming Cui, Yurong Tan, Jian He, Jingqiang Zhang

“…For this paper, we chose Bombyx mori cypovirus 1 (BmCPV-1) interactions with midgut cells from silkworm, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) associated coronavirus interactions with Vero E6 cells, as examples to demonstrate the response of eukaryotic cells to two different types of virus from our previous studies. The bacteriophage-bacteria interactions are also introduced to elucidate how the bacteriophage conquers the barrier of cell walls in the prokaryotic cells to transport genome into the host.…”

Microscopic origin of the spatial and temporal precision in biological systems by Anupam Mondal, Anatoly B. Kolomeisky

“…To illustrate this approach, in this review, we discuss two systems that exhibit precision control: spatial regulation in bacterial cell size and temporal regulation in the timing of cell lysis by λ bacteriophage. In cell-size regulation, it is argued that a balance between stochastic cell growth and cell division processes leads to a narrow distribution of cell sizes. …”
