A Nullstellensatz for amoebas [PDF]
Duke Mathematical Journal, 2008 The amoeba of an affine algebraic variety V in (C^*)^r is the image of V under the map (z_1, ..., z_r) -> (log|z_1|, ..., log|z_r|). We give a characterisation of the amoeba based on the triangle inequality, which we call testing for lopsidedness.

The large GTPase atlastin controls ER remodeling around a pathogen vacuole
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2018 The ubiquitous environmental bacterium Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires' pneumonia and replicates in free-living protozoa and mammalian macrophages in a specific compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV).

Environmental stress promotes the persistence of facultative bacterial symbionts in amoebae
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Amoebae are one major group of protists that are widely found in natural and engineered environments. They are a significant threat to human health not only because many of them are pathogenic but also due to their unique role as an environmental shelter

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Bordetella bronchiseptica exploits the complex life cycle of Dictyostelium discoideum as an amplifying transmission vector. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Multiple lines of evidence suggest that Bordetella species have a significant life stage outside of the mammalian respiratory tract that has yet to be defined.
