Dictyostelium discoideum as a Platform to Assess the Cytotoxicity of Marine Algal Extracts: The Case of Glossophora kunthii [PDF]
Marine DrugsThe social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a versatile biological model widely used in drug discovery and studying cellular stress responses. However, its application for cytotoxicity evaluation of natural products, particularly algal-derived ...

The ‘Amoeboid Predator-Fungal Animal Virulence’ Hypothesis
Journal of Fungi, 2019 The observation that some aspects of amoeba-fungal interactions resemble animal phagocytic cell-fungal interactions, together with the finding that amoeba passage can enhance the virulence of some pathogenic fungi, has stimulated interest in the amoeba ...

Clinical Characteristic of Bloody Diarrhea in Under- Five Pediatric Inpatients
Archives of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, 2022 Background: Diarrhea is the most common cause of death in under-five children. Bloody diarrhea comprises around 10% of all cases of diarrhea and may lead to severe complications until death.

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2007 We study a statistical model of random plane partitions. The statistical model has interpretations as five-dimensional [Formula: see text] supersymmetric SU (N) Yang–Mills on ℝ4× S1and as Kähler gravity on local SU (N) geometry. At the thermodynamic limit a typical plane partition called the limit shape dominates in the statistical model.

Lopsided approximation of amoebas [PDF]
Mathematics of Computation, 2018 The amoeba of a Laurent polynomial is the image of the corresponding hypersurface under the coordinatewise log absolute value map. In this article, we demonstrate that a theoretical amoeba approximation method due to Purbhoo can be used efficiently in practice.

Amoeba-Resisting Bacteria and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate the role of amoeba-associated bacteria as agents of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), we tested the water from an intensive care unit (ICU) every week for 6 months for such bacteria isolates; serum samples and bronchoalveolar lavage ...

Image Analysis and Stereology, 2015 Filters of the Spatial-Variant amoeba morphology can preserve edges better, but with too much noise being left. For better denoising, this paper presents a new method to generate structuring elements for Spatially-Variant amoeba morphology.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Traditional cysticidal assays for Acanthamoeba species revolve around treating cysts with compounds and manually observing the culture for evidence of excystation. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and low throughput. We adapted and trained

Neurofibromin controls macropinocytosis and phagocytosis in Dictyostelium
eLife, 2015 Cells use phagocytosis and macropinocytosis to internalise bulk material, which in phagotrophic organisms supplies the nutrients necessary for growth. Wildtype Dictyostelium amoebae feed on bacteria, but for decades laboratory work has relied on axenic ...
