A Computational Model for Tail Undulation and Fluid Transport in the Giant Larvacean
Flexible propulsors are ubiquitous in aquatic and flying organisms and are of great interest for bioinspired engineering. However, many animal models, especially those found in the deep sea, remain inaccessible to direct observation in the laboratory. We

Transport of Biologically Active Ultrashort Peptides Using POT and LAT Carriers
Ultrashort peptides (USPs), consisting of 2–7 amino-acid residues, are a group of signaling molecules that regulate gene expression and protein synthesis under normal conditions in various diseases and ageing. USPs serve as a basis for the development of drugs with a targeted mechanism of action.

Uncharted routes: exploring the relevance of auxin movement via plasmodesmata
Auxin is an endogenous small molecule with an incredibly large impact on growth and development in plants. Movement of auxin between cells, due to its negative charge at most physiological pHs, strongly relies on families of active transporters.

Uptake and transport of antibiotic kasugamycin in castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings
Kasugamycin (KSM), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has been widely used for the management of plant diseases, especially for the control of rice blast in Asia. However, its uptake mechanism and transport in plants are still obscure.

The Importance of Mesozooplankton Diel Vertical Migration for Sustaining a Mesopelagic Food Web
We used extensive ecological and biogeochemical measurements obtained from quasi-Lagrangian experiments during two California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecosystem Research cruises to analyze carbon fluxes between the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones ...

Non-Markovian Persistent Random Walk Model for Intracellular Transport
Transport of vesicles and organelles inside cells consists of constant-speed bidirectional movement along cytoskeletal filaments interspersed by periods of idling. This transport shows many features of anomalous diffusion. In this paper, we develop a non-

The Process of Thermodialysis and Some of its Possible Consequences in Biology
The flow of thermal energy in liquids is associated with the development of ponderomotive forces. In non-isothermal ionic or molecular solutions a drift of the disperse phase is thus produced (thermal diffusion).

Biological and Medical Aspects of Active Heal Transport of Bile Acids
The active transport of conjugated bile acids by the ileum is responsible for the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, a physiological process that ensures an ample supply to the intestine of these key biological surfactants, irrespective of the rate of their biosynthesis from cholesterol.

A Drone-Based Bioaerosol Sampling System to Monitor Ice Nucleation Particles in the Lower Atmosphere
Terrestrial ecosystems can influence atmospheric processes by contributing a huge variety of biological aerosols (bioaerosols) to the environment. Several types of biological particles, such as pollen grains, fungal spores, and bacteria cells, trigger ...
