Dynamics of Mouth Opening in Hydra.
Hydra, a simple freshwater animal famous for its regenerative capabilities, must tear a hole through its epithelial tissue each time it opens its mouth. The feeding response of Hydra has been well-characterized physiologically and is regarded as a classical model system for environmental chemical biology. However, due to a lack of in vivo labeling and imaging tools, the biomechanics of mouth op...
متن کاملHow a curved elastic strip opens.
An elastic strip is transversely clamped in a curved frame. The induced curvature decreases as the strip opens and connects to its flat natural shape. Various ribbon profiles are measured and the scaling law for the opening length validates a description where the in-plane stretching gradually relaxes the bending stress. An analytical model of the strip profile is proposed and a quantitative ag...
متن کاملStructure that Opens the Gate and Opens the Door
Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to look at it from a different perspective. That is certainly the case in ion channel research. Hodgkin and Huxley must have realized that 50 years ago when they looked at membrane currents with a voltage clamp, and Sakmann and Neher realized it 20 years ago when they measured Possible Symmetries of Tetrameric Channel single-channel currents with the...
متن کاملHow a DNA polymerase clamp loader opens a sliding clamp.
Processive chromosomal replication relies on sliding DNA clamps, which are loaded onto DNA by pentameric clamp loader complexes belonging to the AAA+ family of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases). We present structures for the ATP-bound state of the clamp loader complex from bacteriophage T4, bound to an open clamp and primer-template DNA. The clamp loader traps a spiral conformation of the ope...
متن کاملReflective Practice: How the World Bank Explored Its Own Biases?
While many international organisations have independent evaluations, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Health organization (WHO), uniquely the World Bank in its 2015 World Development Report sought to ascertain the potential biases that influence how its staff interpret evidence and influence policy. Here, we describe the World Bank’s study design, including experiments ...
