From Biosemiotics to Semiotics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Biosemiotics and Semiotics have similarities and differences. Both deal with signal and meaning. One difference is that Biosemiotics covers a domain (life) that is less complex that the one addressed by Semiotics (human).

The evolutionary conserved proteins CEP90, FOPNL, and OFD1 recruit centriolar distal appendage proteins to initiate their assembly.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
In metazoa, cilia assembly is a cellular process that starts with centriole to basal body maturation, migration to the cell surface, and docking to the plasma membrane.

When the path is never shortest: a reality check on shortest path biocomputation

open access: yes, 2017
Shortest path problems are a touchstone for evaluating the computing performance and functional range of novel computing substrates. Much has been published in recent years regarding the use of biocomputers to solve minimal path problems such as route ...

Fruit Flies Provide New Insights in Low-Radiation Background Biology at the INFN Underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Deep underground laboratories (DULs) were originally created to host particle, astroparticle or nuclear physics experiments requiring a low-background environment with vastly reduced levels of cosmic-ray particle interference. More recently, the range of

Temperature and Resources Interact to Affect Transmission via Host Foraging Rate and Susceptibility

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
Environmental conditions such as temperature and resource availability can shape disease transmission by altering contact rates and/or the probability of infection given contact. We develop mechanistic models and fit them to experimental data to uncover how temperature and resources jointly affect transmission of fungal parasites (Metschnikowia ...

New European Stands of Paramecium pentaurelia, Paramecium septaurelia, and Paramecium dodecaurelia, Genetic and Molecular Studies

open access: yesFolia Biologica, 2005
New stands of rare species of the Paramecium aurelia complex were found in Europe, i.e. P. pentaurelia and P. dodecaurelia in Italy and P. septaurelia in Germany. The species were identified by mating reactions with the standard strains of each species.

Evaluation of toxicity of nanoclays and graphene oxide in vivo: a Paramecium caudatum study

open access: yes, 2016
We report here the successful use of a protozoan model organism P. caudatum to investigate the toxicity of clay nanoparticles (montmorillonite, halloysite, kaolin, and bentonite), silica nanospheres and graphene oxide nanoflakes.

Genetics and Epigenetics of Mating Type Determination in Paramecium and Tetrahymena.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Microbiology, 2017
While sex is an ancient and highly conserved eukaryotic invention, self-incompatibility systems such as mating types or sexes appear to be derived limitations that show considerable evolutionary plasticity.

Cytoprotective properties of the nerve growth factor and brain derived neurotrophic factor dipeptidic mimetics, GK-2 AND GSB-106, in the model of oxidative stress in paramecium caudatum

open access: yesФармакокинетика и Фармакодинамика, 2018
Resume. Actuality. Dimeric dipeptide mimics of the nerve growth factor ( NGF) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), respectively GK-2 and GSB-106, were created in the V.V. Zakusov Institute of pharmacology.

Interaction of the mechanosensitive microswimmer Paramecium with obstacles

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
In this work, we report investigations of the swimming behaviour of Paramecium tetraurelia, a unicellular microorganism, in micro-engineered pools that are decorated with thousands of cylindrical pillars.
