Over the past few years, people have generally become more conscious about the food they consume. Thanks to easier access to information as well as public health campaigns and media coverage, people are more aware of how nutrition ties in with both health benefits and chronic diseases. As a result, there is an ongoing cultural shift in most countries, with people prioritizing eating healthily. In turn, the demand for healthier food options and nutritional supplements is steadily growing.
Turning #microalgae into light-controlled, soft bio-#microrobots.

Micro/nanorobots, due to their small size, high controllability and precise navigation capabilities have emerged as an important tool to execute biomedical tasks in microenvironments. However, it is still a big challenge to maneuver rigid microrobots in complicated and sinuous narrow spaces (such as blood vessels and intestines) due to their inability to deform.
Parasite of the Day: Euglenaformis parasitica

"#Euglena and its kin are mostly free-living, photosynthesizing when the sun's out, absorbing organic matter from the environment when it's dark. But the ancestor of E. parasitica was not content with this mostly peaceful lifestyle, and has evolved to live inside the body of #animals. These #euglenids were found parasitising #ostracods & #flatworms in a rice field in #Ibaraki, #Japan."
Japanese scientists find a simple method for #cultivating an edible, highly #nutritious #microalgae.

Euglena (Euglena gracilis) is a microalga containing chloroplasts and producing organic matter through photosynthesis in a well-lit environment, while taking in organic matter from outside in an unlit environment. It is known to be rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, such as DHA and EPA. Owing to the lack of cell walls, Euglena has a high digestion and absorption rate, making it attractive as a new source of nutritious and health enhancing food.
Aus dem #PrincipiaArchiv: Vom Punkt- zum Streifenmuster
Wir blicken von oben auf eine dünne Schicht einer Kultur der einzelligen Alge #Euglena gracilis, mit der ich mich in meiner Diplomarbeit befasst habe. Wie bei der thermischen Konvektion entstehen auch #Biokonvektion|smuster durch Umwälzung: Schwere Flüssigkeit von oben verdrängt die leichtere am Boden. Allerdings kommt der Dichteunterschied hier nicht durch einen Temperaturgradienten zustande ...
