has a trans-Arctic distribution and is represented by the same population in all these regions. This is due to the high vagility of its definitive hosts, sea ducks, which make long-distance migrations along the coasts of the northern Palaearctic seas, and the almost circumpolar d...

Nanoparticle Behavior in the Body: Biochemical, Pharmacological and Cellular Aspects
The behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) in the body is a complex, multilevel process governed by a cascade of physicochemical and biological interactions. At the molecular level, these processes include protein adsorption and formation of the biomolecular corona, ion release, and sur...

Tandem repeats (satellite DNA) are prevalent in eukaryotic genomes and contribute to chromosome organization and genome evolution. Amphibians possess unusually large, repeat-rich genomes and therefore provide a valuable system for investigating the origin, diversity, and genomic...

Abstract— In this work we investigated the pore-forming activity of ShlA toxin from Serratia proteamaculans in lipid bilayers modelling the membranes of epithelial cells HeLa and Caco-2 and assessed the role of CaCl2 in its modification. It was found that the addition of conditio...

Molecular Foundations of the IMH Model: The V→U Membrane Actuator
The Ionic-Mechano-Hydraulic (IMH) model of nerve conduction establishes that the action potential is a coupled ionic-hydraulic phase transition in which electrical events are causally secondary to a propagating pressure wave.The present paper identifies and formalises the element...
