Advanced optical imaging in living embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Developmental biology investigations have evolved from static studies of embryo anatomy and into dynamic studies of the genetic and cellular mechanisms responsible for shaping the embryo anatomy.

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Food Safety Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions Among Community Kitchens in Lebanon: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Community kitchen managers in Lebanon demonstrated positive attitudes but insufficient knowledge and perceptions regarding food safety. Targeted training programs are urgently needed to improve critical control practices and reduce foodborne illness risks across the country.

Physicochemical property and in vivo prebiotic function of α‐(1 → 2) and α‐(1 → 3)‐branched dextran derived from Leuconostoc citreum KD3

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background We isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Japanese traditional fermented foods and vegetables, and screened for exopolysaccharide (EPS)‐producing strains. The Leuconostoc citreum KD3 was isolated as a strain that produces an α‐glucan (KD3‐dextran) with α‐(1 → 6)‐linked main chain with a considerable amount of α‐(1 → 2) branches ...

Symbiotic Cell Differentiation and Cooperative Growth in Multicellular Aggregates

open access: yes, 2016
As cells grow and divide under a given environment, they become crowded and resources are limited, as seen in bacterial biofilms and multicellular aggregates.

Ocean acidification at the crossroads I: Harmonizing unpurified and purified meta‐cresol purple spectrophotometric pHT measurements based on absorbance data

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been questioned by an evolving method, with changes in parameterization and the purity of the meta‐cresol purple (mCP). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and ...

Bio‐Based Microfluidics With Snail Slime: A By‐Product of Agriculture Plays an Exciting Role in the Chemistry of Microfluidic Reaction Chambers

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Due to a broad spectrum of active ingredients, snail slime presents a variety of exciting physical properties and chemical reactivities. Especially in the role of the reduction‐ and stabilizing agent for the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles, its great potential is revealed. Utilising the proteins found in slime, Nanoparticle‐comprising hydrogels are

Coupled Oscillators with Chemotaxis

open access: yes, 1998
A simple coupled oscillator system with chemotaxis is introduced to study morphogenesis of cellular slime molds. The model successfuly explains the migration of pseudoplasmodium which has been experimentally predicted to be lead by cells with higher ...

A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems

open access: yesMathematical 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.
