Transcriptomic changes arising during light-induced sporulation in
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Physarum polycephalum is a free-living amoebozoan protist displaying a complex life cycle, including alternation between single- and multinucleate stages through sporulation, a simple form of cell differentiation.

Nanomaterials as Microglia Modulators in the Treatment of Central Nervous System Disorders
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 13, Issue 12, May 7, 2024.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).

Physarum Polycephalum Syllogistic L-Systems and Judaic Roots of Unconventional Computing
Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2016 We show that in Kabbalah, the esoteric teaching of Judaism, there were developed ideas of unconventional automata in which operations over characters of the Hebrew alphabet can simulate all real processes producing appropriate strings in accordance with ...

DNA dependent‐RNA polymerases from Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1973 Considerable work on Physarum has dealt with the biochemistry of the life cycle and was recently reviewed [ 1,2]. RNA synthesis has been studied at various stages of development. Differential transcription might play a role during S phase [3], before nuclear division [4], in spherulation [S] and sporulation [6].

How vulnerable is an undirected planar graph with respect to max flow
Networks, Volume 83, Issue 3, Page 570-586, April 2024.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

A revised model of fluid transport optimization in Physarum polycephalum
, 2016 Optimization of fluid transport in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum has been the subject of several modeling efforts in recent literature. Existing models assume that the tube adaptation mechanism in P. polycephalum's tubular network is controlled by

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

Effective mixing due to oscillatory laminar flow in tubular networks of plasmodial slime moulds
New Journal of Physics, 2020 The plasmodium of the unicellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum forms an extended vascular network in which protoplasm is transported through the giant cell due to peristaltic pumping. The flow in the veins is always parabolic and it performs shuttle

Slime mould solves maze in one pass ... assisted by gradient of chemo-attractants
, 2011 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell, visible by unaided eye, which exhibits sophisticated patterns of foraging behaviour. The plasmodium's behaviour is well interpreted in terms of computation, where data are spatially extended ...
