Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic plant pathogen that causes the corn smut disease. Sexual and pathogenic development of the fungus are tightly connected, U. maydis relies on its host, Zea mays, to complete its life cycle. ...
In the last decade, superresolution microscopy techniques became a valuable tool to study sub-cellular structures with a resolution below the diffraction limit. The use of superresolution for brain research requires to ...
A free-standing fluid fiber must suppress the radial fluctuations described by the Rayleigh-
Plateau (R-P) instability. The stability of such structures are typically restricted to polymers or
naturally-occurring spider ...
