Distribution and transmission of American foulbrood in honey bees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The distribution of Paenibacillus larvae spores, the causative agent of American foulbrood, was studied on three different levels in the honey bee system; the apiary level, the colony level and the individual honey bee level.

Identification of bioactive compounds and molecular targets of Fuke Huahuang formulation to treat vaginitis

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Fuke Huahuang formulation (FHF) is used to treat vaginitis, and it exerts a promising anti‐inflammatory effect in clinical use. However, the detailed components and mechanisms of FHF for treating vaginitis remain unreported, and further preclinical evaluation is required to reveal its potential pharmacological activities against vaginitis.

Rheological dynamics of active Myxococcus xanthus populations during development [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The bacterium Myxoccocus xanthus produces multicellular protective droplets called fruiting bodies when starved. These structures form initially through the active dewetting of cells into surface-bound droplets, where substantial flows of the material are needed as the fruiting bodies grow and become round.

Improving Dispersion of Bacterial Endospores for Enumeration

open access: yesKONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2015
Precise enumeration of spores is crucial for accurate evaluation of spore survival in the presence of inactivating agents or extreme environmental conditions. Bacterial endospores tend to agglomerate, leading to low estimates of spore numbers.

Label‐Free Microscale Technologies for Isolation of Heterogeneous Circulating Tumor Cells

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from liquid biopsy samples is crucial for cancer treatment and monitoring. This review evaluates primary label‐free isolation methods for capturing heterogeneous CTCs and examines their potential to provide deeper insights into tumor heterogeneity and dynamics of cancer progression.

Vortex Rings from Sphagnum Moss Capsules [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
Long distance wind dispersal requires small spores with low terminal velocities, which can be held aloft by turbulent air currents until they are deposited in suitable habitats for colonization. The inherent difficulty in dispersing spores by wind is that spores easily carried by wind are also rapidly decelerated when moving through still air. Thus the
