Chapter 4 Light responses in purple photosynthetic bacteria

TL;DR: Evidence is found that colonies of bacteria, and possible bacteria in dense mats are able to respond to the direction as well as large changes in intensity of light, which may help enhance the flexibility of metabolism seen in many purple bacteria.

New approach to the defibrillation problem: Suppression of the spiral wave activity of cardiac tissue

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of an excitable medium is considered for describing the development of fibrillation (i.e., spatiotemporal chaos) in cardiac tissue through the generation of a set of coexisting spiral waves.

Membrane functionalisation using polyrotaxanes with amphiphilic cyclodextrins

Martin Bauer
TL;DR: It is shown that for sufficiently high polymer densities the STLs form polymer brushes, which follow the scaling laws predicted by the mean field theory, and it is demonstrated that STLs readily insert into phospholipid (DPPC) model membranes.

The biosynthesis of phospholipids is linked to the cell cycle in a model eukaryote

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the synthesis of structural lipids is linked to the control of the cell cycle in the model eukaryote Desmodesmus quadricauda.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and properties of complexes formed by cationic polymers and anionic cholesterol-containing liposomes

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of the synthetic polycation poly(N-ethyl-4-vinylpyridinium bromide) on the surface of three-component lipid vesicles (liposomes) formed from a mixture of anionic cardiolipin, electroneutral egg lecithin, and nonionic cholesterol is studied via laser microelectropheresis, dynamic light scattering, conductometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and UV spectrography.
