Msphere, 2020 Protist parasites in the marine alveolate group, Syndiniales, have been observed within infected plankton host cells for decades, and recently, global-scale efforts (Tara Ocean exploration) have confirmed their importance within microbial communities ...

Tumor Cell Migration May Be an Inherent “Foraging” Behavior
Medicine Advances, EarlyView.Tumor cells gradually form pseudopodia, migrate to necrotic cells, make contact with them, and absorb necrotic cell debris. During this migration, small vesicles formed by dying tumor cells also gradually migrate toward living tumor cells. Once the nutrients from the necrotic cells have been completely absorbed, the living tumor cells will leave ...

Identification of O-Glcnacylated Proteins in Trypanosoma cruzi
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Originally an anthropozoonosis in the Americas, Chagas disease has spread from its previous borders through migration. It is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi.

Ciliados (Protozoa) de sedimentos secos de una charca temporaria de la Argentina [PDF]
, 2009 Temporary ponds represent special environments that are inhabited by organisms adapted to changing environmental conditions. Ciliates are able to survive complete loss of water in these transient habitats through cyst formation. Nevertheless, ciliates

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

Oikos, EarlyView.The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates [PDF]
, 2013 Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The large declines in Arctic sea-ice age and extent over the last decades could have altered the diversity of sea-ice associated unicellular eukaryotes (referred to as sea-ice protists). A time series from the Russian ice-drift stations from the 1980s to

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.
