Foraging in the darkness of the Southern Ocean: influence of bioluminescence on a deep diving predator. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 How non-echolocating deep diving marine predators locate their prey while foraging remains mostly unknown. Female southern elephant seals (SES) (Mirounga leonina) have vision adapted to low intensity light with a peak sensitivity at 485 nm.

Accepting higher morbidity in exchange for sacrificing fewer animals in studies developing novel infection-control strategies. [PDF]
, 2020 Preventing bacterial infections from becoming the leading cause of death by the year 2050 requires the development of novel, infection-control strategies, building heavily on biomaterials science, including nanotechnology.

Repeated and Widespread Evolution of Bioluminescence in Marine Fishes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bioluminescence is primarily a marine phenomenon with 80% of metazoan bioluminescent genera occurring in the world's oceans. Here we show that bioluminescence has evolved repeatedly and is phylogenetically widespread across ray-finned fishes.

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2005 Bioluminescence refers to the process of visible light emission in living organisms. Bioluminescence imaging is a powerful methodology that has been developed over the last decade as a tool for molecular imaging of small laboratory animals, enabling the study of ongoing biological processes in vivo.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Coelenterazine-v (CTZ-v), a synthetic vinylene-bridged π-extended derivative, is able to significantly alter bioluminescence spectra of different CTZ-dependent luciferases and photoproteins by shifting them towards longer wavelengths.

Specific quorum sensing-disrupting activity (A(QSI)) of thiophenones and their therapeutic potential [PDF]
, 2015 Disease caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens is becoming a serious problem, both in human and veterinary medicine. The inhibition of quorum sensing, bacterial cell-to-cell communication, is a promising alternative strategy to control disease. In this

4-aminopyridyl-based lead compounds targeting CYP51 prevent spontaneous parasite relapse in a chronic model and improve cardiac pathology in an acute model of Trypanosoma cruzi infection. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundChagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is the leading cause of heart failure in Latin America. The clinical treatment of Chagas disease is limited to two 60 year-old drugs, nifurtimox and benznidazole, that have variable ...
