Simulation of single-species bacterial-biofilm growth using the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg model and the CompuCell3D modeling environment by Nikodem J. Poplawski, Abbas Shirinifard, Maciej Swat, James A. Glazier

“…The CompuCell3D modeling environment provides a convenientplatform for biofilm simulations using the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg (GGH)model, a cell-oriented framework designed to simulate growth and patternformation due to biological cells' behaviors. We show how to develop sucha simulation, based on the hybrid (continuum-discrete) model of Picioreanu,van Loosdrecht, and Heijnen (PLH), simulate the growth of a single-speciesbacterial biofilm, and study the roles of cell-cell and cell-field interactions indetermining biofilm morphology. …”

Regulation and Function of the Peg3 Imprinted Domain by Hongzhi He, Joomyeong Kim

“…This Peg3 domain shares several features with the other imprinted domains, including an evolutionarily conserved domain structure, along with transcriptional co-regulation through shared cis regulatory elements, as well as functional roles in controlling fetal growth rates and maternal-caring behaviors. The Peg3 domain also displays some unique features, including YY1-mediated regulation of transcription and imprinting; conversion and adaptation of several protein-coding members as ncRNA genes during evolution; and its close connection to human cancers through the potential tumor suppressor functions of Peg3 and Usp29. …”

A Neural Circuit For Bergamot Essential Oil‐Induced Anxiolytic Effects by Meng‐Yu Zhu, Wan‐Ying Dong, Jin‐Rong Guo, Ji‐Ye Huang, Ping‐Kai Cheng, Yumeng Yang, An Liu, Xin‐Lu Yang, Xia Zhu, Zhi Zhang, Yuanyin Wang, Wenjuan Tao

“…Optogenetic or chemogenetic manipulation of this pathway can recapitulate or abolish the BEO‐induced anxiolytic‐like behavioral effects in mice with ARS. Beyond depicting a previously unrecognized pathway involved in stress response, this study provides a circuit mechanism for the effects of BEO and suggests a potential target for anxiety treatment.…”
