Predator-Prey Interactions02:39

Predator-Prey Interactions

21.2K
Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

Levels of Organization

139.2K
Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.
Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:
The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

339
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Accessory Organs

74.0K
Accessory organs are those that participate in the digestion of food but do not come into direct contact with it like the mouth, stomach, or intestine do. Accessory organs secrete enzymes into the digestive tract to facilitate the breakdown of food.

Multi-input and Multi-variable systems

403
Cruise control systems in cars are designed as multi-input systems to maintain a driver's desired speed while compensating for external disturbances such as changes in terrain. The block diagram for a cruise control system typically includes two main inputs: the desired speed set by the driver and any external disturbances, such as the incline of the road. By adjusting the engine throttle, the system maintains the vehicle's speed as close to the desired value as possible.
In the absence of...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering
  • Microfluidics
  • Organ-on-a-chip technology

Background:

  • Existing multi-organ culture platforms lack flexibility in simultaneous control of culture conditions, device architecture, and fluidic connections.
  • There is a need for adaptable systems to better mimic physiological interactions between multiple organs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a modular microfluidic platform enabling flexible assembly of multi-organ perfusion systems.
  • To facilitate the integration of existing organ-on-a-chip models for complex physiological studies.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a modular microfluidic platform with self-aligning magnetic interconnects for easy assembly of tissue and fluid control modules.
  • Creation of backward-compatible tissue culture and flow control TILE modules.
  • Assembly of recirculating multi-organ systems using the developed platform.

Main Results:

  • The modular platform enables a 'stick-n-play' approach for constructing planar perfusion circuits.
  • The platform supports both bioimaging and analytical measurements.
  • Successful emulation of liver-mediated bioactivation of nutraceuticals and prodrugs in multi-organ systems was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • The developed modular microfluidic platform offers an intuitive and flexible solution for configuring multi-organ perfusion systems.
  • This technology facilitates the integration of diverse organ-on-a-chip models for advanced physiological research.
