On the role of the plasmodial cytoskeleton in facilitating intelligent behavior in slime mold Physarum polycephalum. [PDF]
Commun Integr Biol, 2015 The plasmodium of slime mold Physarum polycephalum behaves as an amorphous reaction-diffusion computing substrate and is capable of apparently ‘intelligent’ behavior. But how does intelligence emerge in an acellular organism?

A model for codon position bias in RNA editing [PDF]
, 2005 RNA editing can be crucial for the expression of genetic information via inserting, deleting, or substituting a few nucleotides at specific positions in an RNA sequence. Within coding regions in an RNA sequence, editing usually occurs with a certain bias

Physarum polycephalum: Towards a biological controller [PDF]
Biosystems, 2015 Microbial fuels cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical transducers that generate energy from the metabolism of electro-active microorganisms. The organism Physarum polycephalum is a slime mould, which has demonstrated many novel and interesting properties in the field of unconventional computation, such as route mapping between nutrient sources, maze ...

Slime mould tactile sensor [PDF]
, 2013 Slime mould P. polycephalum is a single cells visible by unaided eye. The cells shows a wide spectrum of intelligent behaviour. By interpreting the behaviour in terms of computation one can make a slime mould based computing device.

Stepwise slime mould growth as a template for urban design
Scientific Reports, 2022 The true slime mould, Physarum polycephalum, develops as a vascular network of protoplasm, connecting node-like sources of food in an effort to solve multi-objective transport problems.

Hybrid Swarming Algorithm With Van Der Waals Force
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 This paper proposes a hybrid swarming algorithm based on Ant Colony Optimization and Physarum Polycephalum Algorithm. And the Van Der Waals force is first applied to the pheromone update mechanism of the hybrid algorithm.
