In this Review article, we systematically summarize the design and applications of various
kinds of long-lived emissive probes for bioimaging and biosensing via time-resolved …

The soil-dwelling social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum feeds on bacteria. Each meal is
a potential infection because some bacteria have evolved mechanisms to resist predation …

Investigating the ecological context of microbial predator–prey interactions enables the
identification of microorganisms, which produce multiple secondary metabolites to evade …

The social amoeba or cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum is a “professional”
phagocyte that has long been recognized for its value as a biomedical model organism …

Currently, the investigation of Legionella ecology falls into two distinct areas of research
activity:(1) that Legionella multiply within water sources by parasitizing amoebic or ciliate …

Polyphosphate is a linear chain of phosphate residues and is present in organisms ranging
from bacteria to humans. Pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis accumulate …

Both Dictyostelium amoebae and mammalian cells are endowed with an elaborate actin
cytoskeleton that enables them to perform a multitude of tasks essential for survival …

A living cell's interior is one of the most complex and intrinsically dynamic systems, providing
an elaborate interplay between cytosolic crowding and ATP-driven motion that controls …

The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has been a preferred model organism during
the last 50 years, particularly for the study of cell motility and chemotaxis, phagocytosis and …

Much of our knowledge of molecular cellular functions is based on studies with a few
number of model organisms that were established during the last 50 years. The social …
