Are physiological oscillations physiological?

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 9, Page 3672-3693, 1 May 2026.
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Amoebae: beyond pathogens- exploring their benefits and future potential

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Amoebae, fascinatingly diverse protists, showcase a dual nature that positions them as both friends and foes in our world. These organisms, defined by their distinctive pseudopodia, span a spectrum from harmful to helpful.

Transgenic approaches in the pathogenic free-living amoebae: what are the hurdles?

Parasitology
Naegleria fowleri, Acanthamoeba spp., Balamuthia mandrillaris and Sappinia spp. are free-living amoebae that can infect humans and cause serious disease; therefore, these organisms are commonly referred to as pathogenic free-living amoebae (pFLA ...
