Summary: This passage discusses how leaky biological functions are distributed in microbial communities, with a focus on the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in Escherichia coli based on the market principle of comparative advantage. Results show that antibiotic-sensitive cells can invade communities of antibiotic-resistant cells, leading to fixation of antibiotic sensitivity in one species. The intrinsic resistance level and opportunity cost of resistance, rather than absolute cost or efficiency of antibiotic removal, determine which species becomes the sole beneficiary, highlighting the role of comparative advantage in evolutionary dynamics.

Summary: This study used microfluidic devices to construct a synthetic community composed of two bacterial strains, and found that Escherichia coli is a fugitive species while Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a slower but superior competitor in spatially distributed patchy landscapes. The findings highlight the importance of succession and the trade-off between competition and colonization in the assembly of bacterial communities.

Summary: This study investigates natural variation in predatory performance in the microbial predator Dictyostelium discoideum. The researchers found widespread nontransitive differences among strains in predatory success across different bacterial prey, which can facilitate strain coexistence in multi-prey environments. Furthermore, most mutations had prey-specific effects, highlighting the potential for prey-specific effects to weaken selection and prevent the emergence of an optimal generalist predator.

Summary: In this study, the role of biofilm community evolution in the function of biofilters for odor control in WWTP was investigated. The results revealed trade-offs in biofilm community and functions during different phases of operation, including the start-up phase, stable operation phase, and clogging phase. The findings highlight the importance of considering biofilm community dynamics in improving bioreactor performance.

Summary: This study in a large Dutch adult population revealed associations between leaky-gut markers and metabolic health parameters, suggesting that leaky-gut markers are valuable for identifying individuals at risk of leaky gut and subsequent chronic inflammation associated with metabolic disorders.

Summary: Leaky barriers introduced as environmentally-friendly hydraulic structures in rivers aim to slow down flow, reduce flood peaks, and attenuate downstream flow. However, their impact on hydrodynamics and fish passage is not well understood.

Summary: Heat-stress-induced inflammation may be alleviated by antioxidant supplementation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of antioxidant supplementation on metabolism and inflammatory biomarkers in heat-stressed lactating dairy cows. The results showed that antioxidant supplementation had marginal effects on metabolism but did not significantly alter inflammation during heat stress.

Summary: Macrophages play a prominent role in skin wound healing, with functions including host defense and support of new tissue growth. However, the exact role of macrophages in wound healing remains elusive, as some wounds can heal well even with limited or no functional macrophages. Recent advances in understanding macrophage phenotypes and cellular plasticity in wounds may provide new insights and paradigms on macrophage function in wounds.

Summary: Despite high single-cell variability, the fitness of microbial populations is influenced by the theoretically optimal boundary defined by minimal reduction of metabolic variability, indicating a trade-off between growth and heterogeneity within bacterial metabolism.

Summary: Servitization is a paradoxical and lengthy transformation process in the manufacturing field, where manufacturers need to shift from product-based competition to service-based competition and find a balance between the two. This study, using longitudinal data from case studies, identifies the emergence and evolution of learning, belonging, organizing, and performing paradoxical tensions throughout the servitization journey.

Summary: The leaky characteristic of a 1T-neuron can be controlled by adjusting the relative position of the drain junction to the gate, tuning the gate voltage, and modulating the body doping concentration, which accelerates band-to-band tunneling.

Summary: The research found that labor market outsiders, especially all categories of non-insiders, are more likely to support strong unions compared to insiders. This result holds true both before and after the Great Recession.
