From Genes to Ecosystems in Microbiology: Modeling Approaches and the Importance of Individuality
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Models are important tools in microbial ecology. They can be used to advance understanding by helping to interpret observations and test hypotheses, and to predict the effects of ecosystem management actions or a different climate. Over the past decades,

Multilevel selection as Bayesian inference, major transitions in individuality as structure learning
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Complexity of life forms on the Earth has increased tremendously, primarily driven by subsequent evolutionary transitions in individuality, a mechanism in which units formerly being capable of independent replication combine to form higher-level ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

David Bowie, o le virtù del mutamento = David Bowie, or the virtues of change
H-ermes: Journal of Communication, 2015 David Bowie, or the virtues of change. Who is David Bowie? Perhaps, it is easier to say who Bowie is not. He is not a rock star, not a movie star, not just a celebrity starring on the covers of magazines.

Homochirality and the need of energy
, 2009 The mechanisms for explaining how a stable asymmetric chemical system can be formed from a symmetric chemical system, in the absence of any asymmetric influence other than statistical fluctuations, have been developed during the last decades, focusing on

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

Improvement of authorship invarianceness for individuality representation in writer identification [PDF]
, 2010 Writer Identification (WI) is one of the areas in pattern recognition that have created a center of attention for many researchers to work in. Recently, its main focus is in forensics and biometric application, e.g. writing style can be used as biometric

Simple model for the Darwinian transition in early evolution
, 2015 It has been hypothesized that in the era just before the last universal common ancestor emerged, life on earth was fundamentally collective. Ancient life forms shared their genetic material freely through massive horizontal gene transfer (HGT).

Molinism, Creature-types, and the Nature of Counterfactual Implication [PDF]
, 2012 Granting that there could be true subjunctive conditionals of libertarian freedom (SCLs), I argue (roughly) that there could be such conditionals only in connection with individual "possible creatures" (in contrast to types).

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...
