TLDR
Six different magneto-aerotactic behaviors that can be described as a combination of three distinct mechanisms are reported, including the reported (di-)polar, axial, and a previously undescribed mechanism the authors named unipolar.About:

TL;DR: The results suggest that harnessing swarms of microorganisms exhibiting magneto-aerotactic behaviour can significantly improve the therapeutic index of various nanocarriers in tumour hypoxic regions.

Magnetosome biogenesis in magnetotactic bacteria
René Uebe,Dirk Schüler +1 more
TL;DR: This Review discusses the diverse properties of magnetosome biogenesis in other species of magnetotactic bacteria and considers the value of genetically 'magnetizing' non-magnetotacticacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Alternative Strategies for Enhanced Nanoparticle Delivery to Solid Tumors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a short overview of the EPR and mechanisms to enhance it, after which they focus on alternative delivery strategies that do not solely rely on EPR in itself but can offer interesting pharmacological, physical, and biological solutions for enhanced delivery.

Magnetotactic Bacteria Powered Biohybrids Target E. coli Biofilms.
Morgan M. Stanton,Byung-Wook Park,Diana Vilela,Klaas Bente,Damien Faivre,Metin Sitti,Metin Sitti,Samuel Sanchez +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that the nonpathogenic magnetotactic bacteria Magnetosopirrillum gryphiswalense (MSR-1) can be integrated with drug-loaded mesoporous silica microtubes to build controllable microswimmers (biohybrids) capable of antibiotic delivery to target an infectious biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biohybrid and Bioinspired Magnetic Microswimmers.
TL;DR: The review of the magnetic biohybrids and bioinspired microswimmers is structured gradually from mostly biological systems toward purely synthetic approaches, and parts of this field ranging from in situ imaging to swarm control are discussed.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.

MEGA5: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis using Maximum Likelihood, Evolutionary Distance, and Maximum Parsimony Methods
Koichiro Tamura,Daniel S. Peterson,Nicholas Peterson,Glen Stecher,Masatoshi Nei,Sudhir Kumar +5 more
TL;DR: The newest addition in MEGA5 is a collection of maximum likelihood (ML) analyses for inferring evolutionary trees, selecting best-fit substitution models, inferring ancestral states and sequences, and estimating evolutionary rates site-by-site.

Chemotaxis in Escherichia coli analysed by Three-dimensional Tracking
Howard C. Berg,Douglas A. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: Chemotaxis toward amino-acids results from the suppression of directional changes which occur spontaneously in isotropic solutions.

Making sense of it all: bacterial chemotaxis
TL;DR: The increasing number of sequenced bacterial genomes shows that although the central sensory mechanism seems to be common to all bacteria, there is added complexity in a wide range of species.
