Physical Constraints on Motility with Applications to Possible Life on Mars and Enceladus [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, Vol. 2, No. 3, 101 (2021), 2021 Motility is a ubiquitous feature of microbial life on Earth, and is widely regarded as a promising biosignature candidate. In the search for motile organisms, it is therefore valuable to have rough estimates for the number of such microbes that one may expect to find in a given area or volume.

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2020 Motile cilia are highly complex hair-like organelles of epithelial cells lining the surface of various organ systems. Genetic mutations (usually with autosomal recessive inheritance) that impair ciliary beating cause a variety of motile ciliopathies, a heterogeneous group of rare disorders. The pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical symptoms and severity of

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Myosin VI (MVI) is a unique unconventional myosin ubiquitously expressed in metazoans. Its diverse cellular functions are mediated by interactions with a number of binding partners present in multi-protein complexes.

Information and motility exchange in collectives of active particles [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2020, Advance Article, 2020 We examine the interplay of motility and information exchange in a model of run-and-tumble active particles where the particle's motility is encoded as a bit of information that can be exchanged upon contact according to the rules of AND and OR logic gates in a circuit.

How myosin VI traps its off-state, is activated and dimerizes
Nature Communications, 2023 Myosin VI (Myo6) is the only minus-end directed nanomotor on actin, allowing it to uniquely contribute to numerous cellular functions. As for other nanomotors, the proper functioning of Myo6 relies on precise spatiotemporal control of motor activity via ...

Motility Assay: Twitching Motility [PDF]
, 2014 Twitching motility is a mode of solid surface translocation that occurs under humid conditions on semisolid or solid surfaces, is dependent on the presence of retractile type IV pili and is independent of the presence of a flagellum. Surface translocation via twitching motility is powered by the extension and retraction of type IV pili and can manifest

Gut, 2020 Objective High-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders can lead to impaired sperm production. We aim to investigate if HFD-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis can functionally influence spermatogenesis and sperm motility.

Cells, 2020 We have previously postulated that unconventional myosin VI (MVI) could be involved in myoblast differentiation. Here, we addressed the mechanism(s) of its involvement using primary myoblast culture derived from the hindlimb muscles of Snell’s waltzer ...

Motility-Induced Phase Separation [PDF]
, 2014 Self-propelled particles include both self-phoretic synthetic colloids and various microorganisms. By continually consuming energy, they bypass the laws of equilibrium thermodynamics.
