Isolation of Nuclei from Physarum flavicomum: Demonstration of Nuclear Cyclic Acid AMP Phosphodiesterase [PDF]
Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in the nucleus of the myxomycete Physarum flavicomum was demonstrated by cytochemical staining utilizing electron microscopy and by enzymatic assays with tritiated cyclic AMP as the substrate.

Effective mixing due to oscillatory laminar flow in tubular networks of plasmodial slime moulds
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

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

A minimum principle in mRNA editing ?
mRNA editing of sequences of many species is analyzed. The nature of the inserted nucleotides and the position of the insertion sites, once fixed the edited peptide chain, are explained by introducing a minimum principle in the framework of the crystal ...

How to Observe the Inner Space of a Complex Biological System through Speculative Simulation
We present an approach for composition and performance with speculative complex biological systems. This iterative approach engages with both the content and the context of science through generative visual and sound art. We offer a conceptual framing as

Optimal multi-objective discrete decision making using a multidirectional modified Physarum solver [PDF]
This paper will address a bio-inspired algorithm able to incrementally grow decision graphs in multiple directions for discrete multi-objective optimization. The algorithm takes inspiration from the slime mould Physarum Polycephalum, an amoeboid organism
