Diauxic lags explain unexpected coexistence in multi‐resource environments by Bloxham, Blox, Lee, Hyunseok, Gore, Jeff

“…How the coexistence of species is affected by the presence of multiple resources is a major question in microbial ecology. We experimentally demonstrate that differences in diauxic lags, which occur as species deplete their own environments and adapt their metabolisms, allow slow‐growing microbes to stably coexist with faster‐growing species in multi‐resource environments despite being excluded in single‐resource environments. …”

Expediting treatments in the 21st century: orphan drugs and accelerated approvals by Domike, Reuben, Raju, G. K., Sullivan, Jamie, Kennedy, Annie

“…The re-use of surrogate markers for oncological diseases has been an advantage in a way that may not be scientifically feasible in many other disease areas that have greater differentiation across disease etiology. For non-oncological diseases, applicability of AA is, in part, dependent upon greater focus on characterization and acceptance of novel surrogate markers.…”
