    In-line swimming dynamics revealed by fish interacting with a robotic mechanism

    Robin Thandiackal, George Lauder
    Fish in the thrust wake of a flapping foil reduce tail-beat frequencies, synchronize with oncoming vortices, and swim energetically more efficiently.

    Mapping spatial patterns to energetic benefits in groups of flow-coupled swimmers

    Sina Heydari, Haotian Hang, Eva Kanso
    Fish swimming in groups can either conserve or expend energy during collective movement, depending on their spatial position within the school.

    From single neurons to behavior in the jellyfish Aurelia aurita

    Fabian Pallasdies, Sven Goedeke ... Raoul-Martin Memmesheimer
    A multiscale computational nerve net model describes how the activity of individual neurons controls the swimming motion of a jellyfish in its hydrodynamic environment.

    Human and macaque pairs employ different coordination strategies in a transparent decision game

    Sebastian Moeller, Anton M Unakafov ... Igor Kagan
    Using novel approach to study real-time social interactions shows that mutual action visibility facilitates static and dynamic coordination in both species, but whereas humans employ dynamic turn-taking to equalize rewards, macaques, after training with a human, compete between themselves.

    Inferring characteristics of bacterial swimming in biofilm matrix from time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy

    Guillaume Ravel, Michel Bergmann ... Simon Labarthe
    A new mathematical method has been developed, implemented and validated for the analysis of time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy images to characterize the swimming behavior of bacterial swimmers moving in the exogenous matrix of pathogenic biofilms.

    High-molecular-weight polymers from dietary fiber drive aggregation of particulates in the murine small intestine

    Asher Preska Steinberg, Sujit S Datta ... Rustem F Ismagilov
    Polymers from dietary fiber can control the aggregation of particulates in the murine small intestine in a manner qualitatively consistent with depletion interactions.

    Outer hair cells stir cochlear fluids

    Choongheon Lee, Mohammad Shokrian ... Jong-Hoon Nam
    Inner-ear drug delivery experiments show that the fluids in the cochlea circulate due to the peristaltic action of motile auditory receptor cells.

    Ciliary chemosensitivity is enhanced by cilium geometry and motility

    David Hickey, Andrej Vilfan, Ramin Golestanian
    Chemical receptors located on cilia can achieve particle capture rates that are many times higher than receptors located on a flat epithelial surface.

    Many-molecule encapsulation by an icosahedral shell

    Jason D Perlmutter, Farzaneh Mohajerani, Michael F Hagan
    Computational and theoretical models reveal mechanisms by which protein compartments assemble around enzymes and reagents to facilitate reactions in bacteria, allowing the identification of strategies for reengineering such compartments as customizable nanoreactors.
