Rogers, Elisa Rigosi, Elisa Frasnelli et al.     Sophisticated cognitive abilities have been documented in honeybees, possibly an aspect of their complex sociality. In vertebrates brain asymmetry enhances cognition and …             ERRATUM: Three-Dimensional Volume Containing Multiple Two-Dimensional Information Patterns ▶     Hirotaka Nakayama, Atsushi Shiraki, Ryuji Hirayama et al.                 On the near-wall accumulation of injectable particles in the microcirculation: smaller is not better ▶     Tae-Rin Lee, Myunghwan Choi, Adrian M. Kopacz et al.     Although most nanofabrication techniques can control nano/micro particle (NMP) size over a wide range, the majority of NMPs for biomedical applications exhibits a diameter of …             Computational microscopy of cyclodextrin mediated cholesterol extraction from lipid model membranes ▶     Cesar A. López, Alex H. de Vries, Siewert J. Marrink     Beta-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) can form inclusion complexes with cholesterol, and are commonly used to manipulate cholesterol levels of biomembranes. In this work, we have used …             The transition state structure for coupled binding and folding of disordered protein domains ▶     Jakob Dogan, Xin Mu, Åke Engström et al.     Intrinsically disordered proteins are abundant in the eukaryotic proteome, and they are implicated in a range of different diseases. However, there is a paucity of experimental …             The Wnt signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of phagocytosis of virus in Drosophila ▶     Fei Zhu, Xiaobo Zhang     Phagocytosis is crucial for triggering host defenses against invading pathogens in animals. However, the receptors on phagocyte surface required for phagocytosis of virus have not …             In vitro circadian period is associated with circadian/sleep preference ▶     Akiko Hida, Shingo Kitamura, Yosuke Ohsawa et al.     Evaluation of circadian phenotypes is crucial for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases associated with disturbed biological rhythms such as circadian rhythm sleep …             Metformin Impairs Glucose Consumption and Survival in Calu-1 Cells by Direct Inhibition of Hexokinase-II ▶     Barbara Salani, Cecilia Marini, Alberto Del Rio et al.     The anti-hyperglycaemic drug metformin has important anticancer properties as shown by the direct inhibition of cancer cells proliferation. Tumor cells avidly use glucose as a …             A novel method for semen collection and artificial insemination in large parrots (Psittaciformes) ▶     Michael Lierz, Matthias Reinschmidt, Heiner Müller et al.     The paper described a novel technique for semen collection in large psittacines (patent pending), a procedure which was not routinely possible before. For the first time, a large …
