Toxins, 2019 Most ribbon worms (phylum: Nemertea) are found in marine environments, where they act as predators and scavengers. They are characterized by an eversible proboscis that is used to hunt for prey and thick mucus covering their skin.

Softening of DNA near Melting as Disappearance of an Emergent Property
, 2020 Near the melting transition the bending elastic constant, $\kappa$, an emergent property of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), is shown not to follow the rod-like scaling for small length $N$.

Energy required to pinch a DNA plectoneme [PDF]
, 2018 DNA supercoiling plays an important role on a biological point of view. One of its consequences at the supra-molecular level is the formation of DNA superhelices named plectonemes.

Identification of RAG-like transposons in protostomes suggests their ancient bilaterian origin
Mobile DNA, 2020 Background V(D) J recombination is essential for adaptive immunity in jawed vertebrates and is initiated by the RAG1-RAG2 endonuclease. The RAG1 and RAG2 genes are thought to have evolved from a RAGL (RAG-like) transposon containing convergently-oriented

Water, 2023 To date, a total of 23 valid species of heteronemerteans belonging to 15 genera have been recorded in Antarctic and Subantarctic waters. The ribbon worm Heteronemertes longifissa (Hubrecht, 1887) is the only heteronemertean species reported to have bipolar distribution, but this statement is doubtful. The phylogenetic relationships of H.

Statistical Mechanics of Developable Ribbons
, 2010 We investigate the statistical mechanics of long developable ribbons of finite width and very small thickness. The constraint of isometric deformations in these ribbon-like structures that follows from the geometric separation of scales introduces a ...

Perceptions and acceptability of piloted Taenia solium control and elimination interventions in two endemic communities in eastern Zambia [PDF]
, 2020 Infections with Taenia solium cause significant public health and economic losses worldwide. Despite effective control tools, long‐term sustained control/elimination of the parasite has not been demonstrated to date.
