Cell Formation and Intra-Cell Optimal Machine Location in CMS: A Novel Genetic Algorithm (GA) Based on Machine Encoding

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Manufacturing industries are in a constant state of competition to attract customers in a variety of methods. Group Technology (GT) is a term used in the field of manufacturing for grouping similar elements based on their similarities in production and ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Modelling cell movement, cell differentiation, cell sorting and proportion regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum aggregations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding the mechanisms that control tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis is a central goal not only in developmental biology but also has great relevance for our understanding of various diseases, including cancer.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Staphylococcus aureus: salt stress, cell wall deficiency, and Biofílm formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of chronic infection and is of particular concern in the infection of implanted prostheses. Biofilm formation offers bacteria innate protection from antimicrobial agents and prevents the eradication of ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Endothelial cell division in angiogenic sprouts of differing cellular architecture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The vasculature of the zebrafish trunk is composed of tubes with different cellular architectures. Unicellular tubes form their lumen through membrane invagination and transcellular cell hollowing, whereas multicellular vessels become lumenized through a

HEURISTIC METHOD FOR SOLVING CELL FORMATION PROBLEM IN CELLULAR MANUFACTURING SYSTEM BASED ON HAMMING DISTANCE

open access: yesIraqi Journal for Mechanical and Materials Engineering, 2019
Cell Formation (CF) problem considers as the most important issue in the Cellular Manufacturing (CM) system particularly the design step. CF deals with the creation of machine cells (MCs) and part families (PFs).

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Spatial and temporal patterns of bone formation in ectopically pre-fabricated, autologous cell-based engineered bone flaps in rabbits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Biological substitutes for autologous bone flaps could be generated by combining flap pre-fabrication and bone tissue engineering concepts. Here, we investigated the pattern of neotissue formation within large pre-fabricated engineered bone flaps in ...
