Experimental Evolution in Tetrahymena
Microorganisms, 2022 Experimental evolution has provided novel insight into a wide array of biological processes. Species in the genus Tetrahymena are proving to be a highly useful system for studying a range of questions using experimental evolution.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Accumulation of Tetrahymena pyriformis on Interfaces
Micromachines, 2021 The behavior of ciliates has been studied for many years through environmental biology and the ethology of microorganisms, and recent hydrodynamic studies of microswimmers have greatly advanced our understanding of the behavioral dynamics at the single ...

Epigenetic inheritance in ciliates [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2009 2009 marks not only the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth but also publication of the first scientific evolutionary theory, Lamarck's Philosophie Zoologique. While Lamarck embraced the notion of the inheritance of acquired characters, he did not invent it (Burkhardt, 1984).

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Structure and dynamics of the protoplankton community in an environmentally protected urban stream [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2019 We aimed to investigate spatial and temporal scales, abundance, and factors that structure the communities of protozoans in a tropical urban stream. Methods: Samples of water for analysis of biological communities (testate amoebae, ciliates and bacteria)

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Under-ice environmental conditions, planktonic communities and ichthyofauna in dystrophic lakes
The European Zoological Journal, 2021 High content of humic substances and low pH values are factors limiting the species richness and abundance of some organisms in dystrophic lakes. Unfavourable winter conditions (i.e.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.In this study, Hammer et al. highlight cyclic‐arginine surface engineering as a highly biocompatible, controllable, and concentration‐dependent regulator of intravitreal nanoparticle mobility in vivo in a translational large animal model. The cyclic arginine surface‐modification supports the development of next‐generation biomaterials for long‐acting ...

Nanomaterial Strategies for Pulmonary Delivery of Immunotherapeutics in Lung Cancer Treatment
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Inhalable immunotherapeutic nanomedicines enable organ‐selective immune modulation by overcoming pulmonary delivery barriers and concentrating therapy within lung tumors. This Review defines how nanomaterial properties govern airway deposition, retention, cellular partitioning, and immune activation across vaccines, checkpoint blockade, STING agonists,
