'Towards a Conceptual Framework for Innate Immunity' [PDF]

, 2005
Innate immunity now occupies a central role in immunology. However, artificial immune system models have largely been inspired by adaptive not innate immunity.

Phenolic-rich lees from Philippine rice wine (tapuy) increases Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan in spite of having low antioxidant activity

Food Production, Processing and Nutrition
Tapuy is an indigenous wine produced in the Philippines. Rice wine fermentation produces a by-product of rice leftover and microbial biomass, collectively called lees, which usually is discarded as a waste product.

Rapid turnover of life-cycle-related genes in the brown algae

Genome Biology, 2019
Background Sexual life cycles in eukaryotes involve a cyclic alternation between haploid and diploid phases. While most animals possess a diploid life cycle, many plants and algae alternate between multicellular haploid (gametophyte) and diploid ...

The Origin of Life: Models and Data. [PDF]

, 2017
A general framework for conventional models of the origin of life (OOL) is the specification of a 'privileged function.' A privileged function is an extant biological function that is excised from its biological context, elevated in importance over other

The Role of Representation in Biological Modeling

, 2021
Should every transcript and protein be faithfully reconstructed from data, or is it enough to include only those elements for which we are familiar? Or is it enough for the model to be metaphoric in nature, only loosely resembling the problem domain? When considering a biological system, it is important to consider what is the most appropriate level of

Capturing the essence of folding and functions of biomolecules using Coarse-Grained Models

, 2011
The distances over which biological molecules and their complexes can function range from a few nanometres, in the case of folded structures, to millimetres, for example during chromosome organization. Describing phenomena that cover such diverse length,

Unraveling the Dynamics of Host–Microbiota Indole Metabolism: An Investigation of Indole, Indolin-2-one, Isatin, and 3-Hydroxyindolin-2-one

Molecules
The gut microbiota produces a variety of bioactive molecules that facilitate host–microbiota interaction. Indole and its metabolites are focused as possible biomarkers for various diseases.

3D Microporous Scaffolds Manufactured via Combination of Fused Filament Fabrication and Direct Laser Writing Ablation

Micromachines, 2014
A 3D printing fused filament fabrication (FFF) approach has been implemented for the creation of microstructures having an internal 3D microstructure geometry. These objects were produced without any sacrificial structures or additional support materials,

Model Checking Biological Oscillators

Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2009
AbstractWe define a subclass of timed automata, called oscillator timed automata, suitable to model biological oscillators. The semantics of their interactions, parametric w.r.t. a model of synchronization, is introduced. We apply it to the Kuramoto model.
