The Isolated Comet Tail Pseudopodium of Listeria monocytogenes: A Tail of Two Actin Filament Populations, Long and Axial and Short and Random [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1997 Listeria monocytogenes is driven through infected host cytoplasm by a comet tail of actin filaments that serves to project the bacterium out of the cell surface, in pseudopodia, to invade neighboring cells.

COMET Flows: Towards Generative Modeling of Multivariate Extremes and Tail Dependence [PDF]
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2022 Normalizing flows—a popular class of deep generative models—often fail to represent extreme phenomena observed in real-world processes. In particular, existing normalizing flow architectures struggle to model multivariate extremes, characterized by heavy-

Increased DNA damage in blood cells of rat treated with lead as assessed by comet assay [PDF]
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology, 2008 A growing body of evidence suggests that oxidative stress is the key player in the pathogenesis of lead-induced toxicity. The present study investigated lead induced oxidative DNA damage, if any in rat blood cells by alkaline comet assay.
