A Computational Model for Tail Undulation and Fluid Transport in the Giant Larvacean

open access: yesFluids, 2021
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

Synthesis and biological activity of squaramido-tethered bisbenzimidazoles as synthetic anion transporters

open access: yesRSC Advances, 2021
A series of squaramido-tethered bisbenzimidazoles were synthesized and found to exhibit moderate anion transport and cytotoxicity.

Uncharted routes: exploring the relevance of auxin movement via plasmodesmata

open access: yesBiology Open, 2020
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.

Transport of Biologically Active Ultrashort Peptides Using POT and LAT Carriers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
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.

The Importance of Mesozooplankton Diel Vertical Migration for Sustaining a Mesopelagic Food Web

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
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 ...

Uptake and transport of antibiotic kasugamycin in castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
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 Process of Thermodialysis and Some of its Possible Consequences in Biology

open access: yesCHIMIA, 1976
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

open access: yesAnnals of Medicine, 1991
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.

Review: Interactions of Active Colloids with Passive Tracers

open access: yesCondensed Matter, 2019
Collective phenomena existing universally in both biological systems and artificial active matter are increasingly attracting interest. The interactions can be grouped into active-active and active-passive ones, where the reports on the purely active ...

A Drone-Based Bioaerosol Sampling System to Monitor Ice Nucleation Particles in the Lower Atmosphere

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
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 ...
