Telecological Collapse: The Inevitability of Climate Breakdown in the Transmedial Podcast Drama Forest 404

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a close‐hearing analysis of Forest 404, a transmedial audio drama that was released to BBC Sounds in 2019. Despite the drama's eco‐dystopian critique of teleological ‘progress’ narratives (that enable and perpetuate the destruction of the natural world), I argue that the series ultimately propagates a sense of inevitability

Application of Biotechnology to Solve Relevant Biological Problems Promotes Understanding of Underlying Concepts [PDF]

, 2001
Although some efforts have been made to modify the curriculum of the Introductory Biology laboratories from a passive to a more experimental form, the use of modern biotechnology had not been implemented at our institution.

Computational Characterization of the Role of LEM2/LaminA Interactions on the Stability of BAF‐Dimer Using Molecular Simulations

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1104-1114, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The effect of the presence of the BAF‐binding LEM‐domain and LaminA Ig‐fold on the stability of the BAF dimer was studied qualitatively using non‐equilibrium pull simulations and quantitatively through the calculation of the potential of mean force profile along BAF–BAF separation distance.

A Novel Adenovirus in Chinstrap Penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) in Antarctica

Viruses, 2014
Adenoviruses (family Adenoviridae) infect various organ systems and cause diseases in a wide range of host species. In this study, we examined multiple tissues from Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica), collected in Antarctica during 2009 and 2010,

The roles of the subunits in the function of the calcium channel [PDF]

, 1991
Dihydropyridine-sensitive voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels are critical to excitation-secretion and excitation-contraction coupling. The channel molecule is a complex of the main, pore-forming subunit alpha 1 and four additional subunits: alpha ...

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Critical Points and Traveling Wave in Locomotion: Experimental Evidence and Some Theoretical Considerations [PDF]

, 2017
The central pattern generator (CPG) architecture for rhythm generation remains partly elusive. We compare cat and frog locomotion results, where the component unrelated to pattern formation appears as a temporal grid, and traveling wave respectively ...

Glutathione Impacts Both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Virulence and Amphibian Cellular Defense in a Chytridiomycosis Model

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Glutathione shapes interactions between Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and amphibian hosts. In Bd, glutathione reductase is essential for survival, and exogenous glutathione enhances zoospore release. In host cells, Bd infection depletes glutathione and increases oxidative stress.

Characterization of NLRP3 isoforms in bullfrog Aquarana catesbeiana and their role in antibacterial immunity

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is essential for innate immunity against pathogens, yet its function in amphibians remains poorly understood. Here, we identified and cloned two novel isoforms of NLRP3 from the American bullfrog (Aquarana catesbeiana), designated AcNLRP3 X1 and AcNLRP3 X2, with open reading frames of 2397 bp (798 aa) and 2874 bp (957 aa)

Frog Virus 3 Morphogenesis: Effect of Temperature and Metabolic Inhibitors

Journal of General Virology, 1977
The different stages of frog virus 3 (FV 3) morphogenesis have been investigated in chick embryo fibroblasts infected at an optimal temperature for virus growth (29 degrees C). The metabolic requirements for morphogenesis were determined by adding inhibitors of macromolecular synthesis at different periods in the virus growth cycle. The effect of a non-
