Calmodulin in Paramecium: Focus on Genomic Data
Microorganisms, 2022 Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger that plays a key role in cellular signaling. However, Ca2+ signals are transduced with the help of Ca2+-binding proteins, which serve as sensors, transducers, and elicitors. Among the collection of these Ca2+

Optofluidic ptychography on a chip [PDF]
, 2021 We report the implementation of a fully on-chip, lensless microscopy technique termed optofluidic ptychography. This imaging modality complements the miniaturization provided by microfluidics and allows the integration of ptychographic microscopy into various lab-on-a-chip devices. In our prototype, we place a microfluidic channel on the top surface of

Inertial self-propulsion of spherical microswimmers by rotation-translation coupling [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Fluids 4, 023101 (2019), 2017 We study swimming of small spherical particles who regulate fluid flow on their surface by applying tangential squirming strokes. We derive translational and rotational velocities for any given stroke which is not restricted by axial symmetry as assumed usually.

Evolutionary dynamics of a conserved sequence motif in the ribosomal genes of the ciliate
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background In protozoa, the identification of preserved motifs by comparative genomics is often impeded by difficulties to generate reliable alignments for non-coding sequences.
