Researchers have developed a particularly simple model that reproduces the swimming mechanism of amoebas. They show that, by changing shape, these single cell organisms propel themselves forward in a ...

Radiation Research, Vol. 35, No. 1 (Jul., 1968), pp. 132-146 (15 pages) This report describes the radiosensitivity of an amoeboid cell. This cell, which appears closely related to the genus ...

Patient-reported quality of life in men with TURP undergoing proton therapy for prostate cancer.

Rhythmic patterns and precise motions are key elements of proper swimming, and comparable demonstrations of this pattern repetition and power usage can be seen in a microscopic swimmer -- the amoeboid ...

In a new theory to explain the mechanism of motility in amoebae and similar cells,the author proposes that streaming cytoplasm contracts at the front of the cell and literally pulls it along ...

For anyone interested in going into engineering, I can offer a warning: prepare to get your butt handed to you repeatedly by nature. Many of the processes at the forefront of engineering technology ...
