Industrial Biotechnology Conservation Processes: Similarities with Natural Long-Term Preservation of Biological Organisms

Corinne Scaletta, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Alexis Laurent

Cryopreservation and lyophilization processes are widely used for conservation purposes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and food industries or in medical transplantation. Such processes deal with extremely low temperatures (e.g., -196 degrees C) a ...

Pulchelloid A, a sesquiterpene lactone from the Canadian prairie plant Gaillardia aristata inhibits mitosis in human cells

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Tatiana Favez

Background The Canadian prairie ecosystem presents a rich source of natural products from plants that are subjected to herbivory by grazing mammals. This type of ecological competition may contribute to the production of natural products of interest in cel ...

Local plasticity rules can learn deep representations using self-supervised contrastive predictions

Wulfram Gerstner, Bernd Albert Illing, Jean Ventura

Learning in the brain is poorly understood and learning rules that respect biological constraints, yet yield deep hierarchical representations, are still unknown. Here, we propose a learning rule that takes inspiration from neuroscience and recent advances ...

Perspectives on Individual Animal Identification from Biology and Computer Vision

Alexander Mathis, Maxime Michel André Vidal

Identifying individual animals is crucial for many biological investigations. In response to some of the limitations of current identification methods, new automated computer vision approaches have emerged with strong performance. Here, we review current a ...

Uncertainty reduction in biochemical kinetic models: Enforcing desired model properties

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Michaël Roger Germain Moret

A persistent obstacle for constructing kinetic models of metabolism is uncertainty in the kinetic properties of enzymes. Currently, available methods for building kinetic models can cope indirectly with uncertainties by integrating data from different biol ...

Virus lasers for biological detection

Gabriel Aeppli

The selective amplification of DNA in the polymerase chain reaction is used to exponentially increase the signal in molecular diagnostics for nucleic acids, but there are no analogous techniques for signal enhancement in clinical tests for proteins or cell ...

Bacterial iron reduction and biogenic mineral formation for the stabilisation of corroded iron objects

Julien Maillard, Arnaud Michel Gelb

Exploiting bacterial metabolism for the stabilisation of corroded iron artefacts is a promising alternative to conventional conservation-restoration methods. Bacterial iron reduction coupled to biogenic mineral formation has been shown to promote the conve ...
