The evolutionary roots of creativity: mechanisms and motivations [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 We consider the evolution of cognition and the emergence of creative behaviour, in relation to vocal communication. We address two key questions: (i) what cognitive and/or social mechanisms have evolved that afford aspects of creativity?; (ii) has natural and/or sexual selection favoured human behaviours considered ‘creative’? This entails analysis of ‘

Evolutionary dynamics, evolutionary forces, and robustness: A nonequilibrium statistical mechanics perspective [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance Evolution through natural selection is an overwhelmingly complex process, and it is not surprising that theoretical approaches are strongly simplifying it. For instance, population genetics considers mainly dynamics of gene allele frequencies.

Mechanisms of Resistance in Bacteria: An Evolutionary Approach [PDF]
The Open Microbiology Journal, 2013 Acquisition of resistance is one of the major causes of failure in therapy of bacterial infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), thousands of deaths caused bySalmonellasp.,Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureusorMycobacteria tuberculosisare due to failure in therapy caused by resistance to the chemotherapeutic agents. Understanding

EVOLUTIONARY MECHANICS OF PROTRUSIBLE TENTACLES AND TONGUES [PDF]
Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 2000 This paper provides a comparison at multiple levels of structural organization of the biomechanics of protrusible muscular systems with different origins and phylogenetic history. The high-performance prey capture tentacles in squid, the tongues of frogs and salamanders, and the tongue of the chameleon are used as examples.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.
