The role of active movement in fungal ecology and community assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Movement ecology aims to provide common terminology and an integrative framework of movement research across all groups of organisms. Yet such work has focused on unitary organisms so far, and thus the important group of filamentous fungi has not been ...

Multiarmed Spirals in Excitable Media [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Numerical studies of the properties of multiarmed spirals show that they can form spontaneously in low excitability media. The maximum number of arms in a multiarmed spiral is proportional to the ratio of the single spiral period to the refractoriness of

Balanced version of Slime Mold Algorithm: A study on PEM fuel cell system parameters identification

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2021
A new technique is proposed in this study for optimum selection of the unknown variables in the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). The major purpose is to present an efficient method for minimizing the error between the estimated and the ...

Control of Oscillation Patterns in a Symmetric Coupled Biological Oscillator System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A chain of three-oscillator system was constructed with living biological oscillators of phasmodial slime mold, Physarum polycehalum and the oscillation patterns were analyzed by the symmetric Hopf bifurcation theory using group theory.

Signal transduction in the cellular slime molds [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1982
Intercellular communication in higher organisms depends on the central nervous system and hormones. Simple organisms such as the cellular slime molds communicate intercellularly only by using hormone-like signals. The most intensively studied species of the cellular slime molds is Dictyostelium discoideum.

Identification and purification of an endogenous receptor for the lectin pallidin from Polysphondylium pallidum. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
We report the identification and purification of an endogenous carbohydrate-containing receptor of pallidin, the cell surface lectin implicated in mediating cell-cell adhesion in the cellular slime mold Polysphondylium pallidum.

Dictyostelium: An Important Source of Structural and Functional Diversity in Drug Discovery

open access: yesCells, 2018
The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is an excellent model organism for the study of cell and developmental biology because of its simple life cycle and ease of use.

A revised model of fluid transport optimization in Physarum polycephalum

open access: yes, 2016
Optimization of fluid transport in the slime mold Physarum polycephalum has been the subject of several modeling efforts in recent literature. Existing models assume that the tube adaptation mechanism in P. polycephalum's tubular network is controlled by

An active poroelastic model for mechanochemical patterns in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Motivated by recent experimental studies, we derive and analyze a twodimensional model for the contraction patterns observed in protoplasmic droplets of Physarum polycephalum.

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...
