Endobiotic ciliates of Marwari horses from the Thar Desert, India

Амурский зоологический журнал
This paper examines the species composition of endobiotic ciliates in the faecal samples from domestic Marwari horses (Equus caballus) from the Thar Desert, Rajasthan, India. We discovered nine species of ciliates from the Cycloposthiidae, Buetschliidae,

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Swimming eukaryotic microorganisms exhibit a universal speed distribution

eLife, 2019
One approach to quantifying biological diversity consists of characterizing the statistical distribution of specific properties of a taxonomic group or habitat. Microorganisms living in fluid environments, and for whom motility is key, exploit propulsion

Ciliate Gene Unscrambling with Fewer Templates [PDF]

, 2010
One of the theoretical models proposed for the mechanism of gene unscrambling in some species of ciliates is the template-guided recombination (TGR) system by Prescott, Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg which has been generalized by Daley and McQuillan from a ...

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

Systemic infection of freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus by hymenostome ciliates of the Tetrahymena pyriformis complex [PDF]

, 1996
A survey of cultured freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus in north Queensland revealed systemic infections by hymenostome ciliates in moribund crayfish from one location. The ciliates were identified following protargol impregnation as belonging to

Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

Ciliates in the plankton of the shallow zone of the Rybinsk Reservoir in spring: long-term changes in the community structure and the contribution of ciliates to the formation of the total biomass of the plankton community

Трансформация экосистем
In spring (April 28‒May16, 2022) plankton of the shallow-water zone of the Rybinsk Reservoir, the biomass of large, predatory ciliates with symbiotic algae was 5‒8 times lower than that in the periods of late April‒May of 1971 and 1977, and their share ...
