Resurrecting the Dead (Molecules)

Resurrecting dead-water phenomenon

We revisit experimental studies performed by Ekman on dead-water (Ekman, 1904) using modern techniques in order to present new insights on this peculiar phenomenon. We extend its description to more general situations such as a three-layer fluid or a linearly stratified fluid in presence of a pycnocline, showing the robustness of dead-water phenomenon. We observe large amplitude nonlinear inter...

Reciprocal Altruism—the Impact of Resurrecting an Old Moral Imperative on the National Organ Donation Rate in Israel

Israel’s organ-transplantation history dates back to 1964, when the first kidney transplantation from a living related donor was performed. In 1965, the first kidney transplantation from a deceased donor was successfully accomplished. Currently six Israeli medical centers perform kidney, heart, lung, and liver transplantations. The Israel National Transplant Center (INTC) coordinates all donors...

Title Resurrecting Inactive Antimicrobial Peptides from the Lipopolysaccharide Trap Resurrecting Inactive Antimicrobial Peptides from Lipopolysaccharide (lps) Trap Singapore 637551, Singapore

26 Host defense antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising source of antibiotics for the 27 treatment of multiple drug-resistant pathogens. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the major 28 component of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, functions as 29 a permeability barrier against a variety of molecules including antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). 30 Further, LPS or endot...
