Lectins modulate the microbiota of social amoebae Open
Sticky bacteria tolerated as future food Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae consume bacteria until the supply is exhausted. Then the amoeba cells clump together into a “slug” and initiate a complex multicellular reproductive phase. Specializ…

Asymptotic Properties of Parameter Estimators in Fractional Vasicek Model Open
We consider the fractional Vasicek model of the form dXt = (α-βXt)dt + γdBHt, driven by fractional Brownian motion BH with Hurst parameter H ∈ (0,1). We construct three estimators for an unknown parameter θ=(α,β) and prove their strong con…

Social amoebae trap and kill bacteria by casting DNA nets Open
Extracellular traps (ETs) from neutrophils are reticulated nets of DNA decorated with anti-microbial granules, and are capable of trapping and killing extracellular pathogens. Various phagocytes of mammals and invertebrates produce ETs, ho…
