Nanomaterials as Microglia Modulators in the Treatment of Central Nervous System Disorders
Microglia activation states M1 and M2, besides their physiological roles, play key roles in the onset and progression of various CNS disorders. The modulation of microglia activity using nanomaterials represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of these diseases (created with BioRender.com).

Programmable reconfiguration of Physarum machines [PDF]
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell capable of solving graph-theoretic, optimization and computational geometry problems due to its unique foraging behavior. Also the plasmodium is unique biological substrate that mimics universal storage modification machines, namely the Kolmogorov-Uspensky machine.

How vulnerable is an undirected planar graph with respect to max flow
Abstract We study the problem of computing the vitality of edges and vertices with respect to the st$$ st $$‐max flow in undirected planar graphs, where the vitality of an edge/vertex is the st$$ st $$‐max flow decrease when the edge/vertex is removed from the graph. This allows us to establish the vulnerability of the graph with respect to the st$$ st

An active poroelastic model for mechanochemical patterns in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum. [PDF]
Motivated by recent experimental studies, we derive and analyze a two-dimensional model for the contraction patterns observed in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum.

Computers from plants we never made. Speculations
We discuss possible designs and prototypes of computing systems that could be based on morphological development of roots, interaction of roots, and analog electrical computation with plants, and plant-derived electronic components.

Abstract Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is an important staple crop cultivated in over 100 countries, and the storage roots and vines provide food for humans and livestock. Sweetpotato consumption and demand for its value‐added products have increased significantly in the last two decades and have led to new cultivar development, expansion in acreage,

Spatial mapping reveals multi-step pattern of wound healing in Physarum polycephalum
Wounding is a severe impairment of function, especially for an exposed organism like the network-forming true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. The tubular network making up the organism's body plan is entirely interconnected and shares a common ...

Physarum machines imitating a Roman road network: the 3D approach
Physarum Polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. This is a plasmodial, vegetative stage of acellular slime mould. This single cell has myriad of nuclei which contribute to a network of bio-chemical oscillators responsible for the slime ...

Commodity risk assessment of Corylus avellana plants from the UK
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of Corylus avellana imported from the ...
