Recent advances in understanding how rod-like bacteria stably maintain their cell shapes [version 1; referees: 3 approved]

Cell shape and cell volume are important for many bacterial functions. In recent years, we have seen a range of experimental and theoretical work that led to a better understanding of the determinants of cell shape and size. The roles of different molecular machineries for cell-wall expansion have b...
