Highly motile nanoscale magnetic artificial cilia

Yves Bellouard, Tanveer Ul Islam

Among the many complex bioactuators functioning at different scales, the organelle cilium represents a fundamental actuating unit in cellular biology. Producing motions at submicrometer scales, dominated by viscous forces, cilia drive a number of crucial b ...

Marine and freshwater micropearls: biomineralization producing strontium-rich amorphous calcium carbonate inclusions is widespread in the genus Tetraselmis (Chlorophyta)

Michaël Bensimon

Unicellular algae play important roles in the biogeochemical cycles of numerous elements, particularly through the biomineralization capacity of certain species (e.g., coccolithophores greatly contributing to the "organic carbon pump" of the oceans), and u ...

Chemical Genetic Screen Identifies Natural Products that Modulate Centriole Number

Pierre Gönczy, Kai Johnsson, Michele Graciotti, Zhou Fang

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and that are critical for the formation of cilia and flagella, as well as of centrosomes in animal cells. The number of centrioles must be strictly regulated in proliferating cells ...

A unique coral biomineralization pattern has resisted 40 million years of major ocean chemistry change

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Today coral reefs are threatened by changes to seawater conditions associated with rapid anthropogenic global climate change. Yet, since the Cenozoic, these organisms have experienced major fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels (from greenhouse conditions ...

Effect of treatment on the microstructural characteristics of bio-improved sand

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis

Bio-chemical processes have recently become the core of several studies in the geoengineering field, where the emphasis is placed on new and emerging applications. Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation has been introduced as an alternative cementation ...

26Mg labeling of the sea urchin regenerating spine: Insights into echinoderm biomineralization process

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Christophe Kopp

This paper reports the results of the first dynamic labeling experiment with regenerating spines of sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus using the stable isotope Mg-26 and NanoSIMS high-resolution isotopic imaging, which provide a direct information about the ...

Role of Bicaudal-C in Left-Right Axis Formation and Kidney Morphogenesis

The KH domain RNA binding protein Bicaudal-C is known to play a role in anterior-posterior (AP) patterning in Drosophila by acting on oskar mRNA. In mammals, its expression is induced at late gastrulation in the mesodermal layer of the ventral node. Renal ...

Brachiopod punctae: a complexity in shell biomineralisation

Perforations ("punctae") are one of the most characteristic morphological shell features in calcite brachiopods. The significance of punctae is that they represent discontinuities in shell biomineralisation and thus add a level of complexity that must be a ...

Self-interaction corrected density functional theory for the study of intramolecular electron transfer dynamics in radical carbocations

Ivano Tavernelli

We derived an orbital dependent Kohn-Sham based scheme for the correction of the self-interaction error in DFT, which is particularly suited for the study of open shell molecular systems. Our approach is based on a weighted form of the Perdew and Zunger (P ...
