Researchers uncover how membrane lipids regulate archaellum formation and cell motility in archaea

Archaea, one of Earth’s most ancient microbial groups, thrive in extreme environments such as high temperatures, acidity, and salinity. Their unique cell membranes, composed primarily of ether-linked lipids like glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT), enable survival under harsh conditions. While GDGT cyclization, involving the insertion of cyclopentane or cyclohexane rings on the biphytanyl chains, is […]

Targeted dictionary strategy boosts fuzzing coverage and vulnerability discovery

As software systems increase in complexity, traditional fuzzing methods face challenges in discovering software vulnerabilities. Existing grey-box fuzzing techniques are often inefficient, especially when dealing with program states protected by complex conditions such as constant constraints. Assistant Professor Yuqun Zhang’s research group from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Southern University of […]
