A self-driven phase transition drives Myxococcus xanthus fruiting body formation [PDF]
, 2019 Combining high-resolution single cell tracking experiments with numerical simulations, we show that starvation-induced fruiting body (FB) formation in Myxococcus xanthus is a phase separation driven by cells that tune their motility over time.

Annals of HepatologyIntroduction and Objectives: Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP)-2 is lower in serum during obesity and metabolic dysfunction. We have previously shown that the decrease in serum IGFBP-2 follows a diminished expression in liver and heart ...

Effects of caerulein on the gastric motility of rats. [PDF]
, 1985 The effects of caerulein on gastric motility in urethane-anesthetized rats were studied. Caerulein administered into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) and jugular vein (i.v.) caused predominantly an inhibitory effect on gastric motility but ...

A European Approach to Irritable Bowel Syndrome Management
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1999 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by a number of clinical features and probably comprises a cluster of different conditions. The most frequent symptom reported by IBS patients is abdominal pain, although for a number of patients, bowel ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in active droplets provides a generic route to motility
, 2012 We explore a generic mechanism whereby a droplet of active matter acquires motility by the spontaneous breakdown of a discrete symmetry. The model we study offers a simple representation of a "cell extract" comprising, e.g., a droplet of actomyosin ...

Stripe formation in bacterial systems with density-suppressed motility [PDF]
, 2012 Engineered bacteria in which motility is reduced by local cell density generate periodic stripes of high and low density when spotted on agar plates. We study theoretically the origin and mechanism of this process in a kinetic model that includes growth ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...
