The cytoskeleton of the electric tissue of Electrophorus electricus, L.
The electric eel Electrophorus electricus is a fresh water teleost showing an electrogenic tissue that produces electric discharges. This electrogenic tissue is distributed in three well-defined electric organs which may be found symmetrically along both

Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Sensory systems have been shaped by evolution to extract information that is relevant for decision making. In order to understand the mechanisms used by sensory systems for filtering the incoming stream of sensory input, it is important to have a ...

Modeling active electrolocation in weakly electric fish
In this paper, we provide a mathematical model for the electrolocation in weakly electric fishes. We first investigate the forward complex conductivity problem and derive the approximate boundary conditions on the skin of the fish.

I argue that we should reject the sparse view that there are or could be only a small number of rather distinct senses. When one appreciates this then one can see that there is no need to choose between the standard criteria that have been proposed as ...

Targeting TNBC: core–shell polycationic polyurea dendrimers with inherent anticancer activity
Core–shell polycationic PURE dendrimers were tested in TNBC‐derived tumor models. Both formulations selectively targeted TNBC and effectively reduced tumor volume. PUREG4‐OEI48 suppressed tumor growth without detectable toxicity, whereas PUREG4‐OCEI24, despite showing efficacy, induced hepatic toxicity.

The Astonishing Behavior of Electric Eels
The remarkable physiology of the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) made it one of the first model species in science. It was pivotal for understanding animal electricity in the 1700s, was investigated by Humboldt and Faraday in the 1800s, was ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of electric catfish Malapterurus electricus and its phylogeny
Electric catfishes evolved the substantial electric organ that can instantly release powerful high-voltage electricity. To better study the phylogenetic position of the electric fish (Malapterurus electricus) in catfishes, in this study, we presented the

Characteristics and outcomes of male participants in the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study (ASCS).
Objective To determine the differences in demographic, serologic and clinical characteristics between male and female patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in an Australian cohort. Methods Retrospective observational study using data from the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study (ASCS). Males (M) were compared to females (F) using chi‐squared, Wilcoxon

Theoretical analysis of pre-receptor image conditioning in weakly electric fish. [PDF]
Electroreceptive fish detect nearby objects by processing the information contained in the pattern of electric currents through the skin. The distribution of local transepidermal voltage or current density on the sensory surface of the fish's skin is the
