A first glimpse at the transcriptome of
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Physarum polycephalum, an acellular plasmodial species belongs to the amoebozoa, a major branch in eukaryote evolution. Its complex life cycle and rich cell biology is reflected in more than 2500 publications on various aspects of its ...

Fluid flows shaping organism morphology
, 2018 A dynamic self-organized morphology is the hallmark of network-shaped organisms like slime moulds and fungi. Organisms continuously re-organize their flexible, undifferentiated body plans to forage for food. Among these organisms the slime mould Physarum

Physarum Polycephalum changes polyaniline properties [PDF]
07/20/2015-07/24/2015, 2015 Physarum polycephalum slime mould can modify polyaniline (PANI) features due to its internal activity. We created networks with different conductivity made by the slime mould on PANI substrates. Thus, Physarum's growth results in changing the conductivity state of PANI layers, providing negative and positive patterning of the samples.

All Organisms Can Be Anesthetized, but There's No Point?
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Because of their interest in medicine, most studies on anesthesia have historically focused on the nervous systems of animals. This has often led to the neglect of the fact that all life forms have the potential to be anesthetized. Anesthetics target proteins, such as four‐domain voltage‐dependent Na+/Ca2⁺ channels (4D‐NaV/CaV) and glutamate ...

Physarum-Inspired Bicycle Lane Network Design in a Congested Megacity
Applied Sciences, 2021 Improvement of mobility, especially environment-friendly green mobility, is challenging in existing megacities due to road network complexity and space constraints. Endorsing the bicycle lane network (BLN) in congested megacities is a promising option to

Biohybrid Computing with Proteinoids and Algae
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 36, September 25, 2025.We developed a novel biohybrid computing system by combining proteinoid microspheres with algae. The biological mixture creates spontaneous electrical oscillations. These oscillations can perform simple logic operations, such as AND, OR, NAND, and NOR gates. Environmental factors like temperature and pH affect how the system works.

A Novel -Inspired Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013 There is a tradeoff between routing efficiency and energy equilibrium for sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum , this paper presents a novel Physarum -

Exploiting Environmental Computation in a Multi-Agent Model of Slime Mould
, 2015 Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarum polycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and computational behaviour.
