Applicability of Redirecting Artemisinins for New Targets
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Repurposing of drugs has great practical appeal. However, a systematic approach is essential. Here, artemisinins (ARTS) are used to illustrate some considerations that are critical in this process. Several mechanisms of action are suggested for ARTS, among which only a few are successfully examined in vivo, mainly the induction of oxidant stress and ...

Memory inception and preservation in slime moulds: the quest for a common mechanism. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2019 Learning and memory are indisputably key features of animal success. Using information about past experiences is critical for optimal decision-making in a fluctuating environment.

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2188-2209, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Multicellularity evolved multiple times in the history of life, with most reviewers agreeing that it appeared at least 20 times in eukaryotes. However, a specific list of multicellular eukaryotes with clear criteria for inclusion has not yet been published.

On the evolution of epigenetics via exaptation: A developmental systems perspective
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1529, Issue 1, Page 21-32, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Evolution and development are interrelated processes influenced by genomic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Epigenetic processes serve critical roles in development and operate as intermediaries that connect the genome to the rest of the world. Therefore, it is of interest to consider the evolution of epigenetic processes.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 6924-6939, November 2021., 2021 Summary Nitric oxide (NO) is a signalling molecule in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. NO levels transiently boost upon induction of conidiation in Aspergillus nidulans. Only one pathway for NO synthesis involving nitrate reductase has been reported in filamentous fungi so far, but this does not satisfy all the NO produced in fungal cells. Here we

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract The Cutosea represent a deep‐branching lineage within the phylum Amoebozoa that is still relatively poorly explored. Currently, there are four cutosean representatives known – the monotypic genera Armaparvus, Idionectes, Sapocribrum, and Squamamoeba – with marked genetic distances. Idionectes vortex is the deepest‐branching species and differs

On attraction of slime mould Physarum polycephalum to plants with sedative properties [PDF]
, 2011 A plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell with many nuclei. Presented to a configuration of attracting and repelling stimuli a plasmodium optimizes its growth pattern and spans the attractants, while avoiding ...
