Formation of spicules by sclerocytes from the freshwater spongeEphydatia muelleri in short-term cultures in vitro - In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal Cells from the freshwater spongeEphydatia muelleri were isolated by dissociating hatching gemmules. During the first 24 h the cells reaggregated, but the aggregates progressively disintegrated again t...

Evolution of Cell Adhesion Systems: Evidence for Arg‐Gly‐Asp‐Mediated Adhesion in the Protozoan Neoparamoeba aestuarina ABSTRACT. Developmental processes in multicellular organisms require structural elements, such as adhesion molecules, to stabilize cells at functional positions. In vertebrates, a series of extracel...

Springer Nature Discovers MDPI – The Strain on Scientific Publishing Home page for the paper ‘The Strain on Scientific Publishing’ by Mark A Hanson, Dan Brockington, Paolo Crosetto and Pablo Gomez Barreiro

Has someone found a good way of getting money out of research? Don't stop it.

Copy it.

APC charges cost billions. MDPI leads with over $1.7bn (est. 2015-2023). Springer-Nature ‘only’ got $1.1bn and so what do they do?

They copy MDPI.

The curse of “Open Acce$$”. A good idea hijacked and killed by the same corporations that create the problem it purports to solve. Now anyone publish anything, no matter how irrelevant.

OA$$, as it is now, has to end. There are better models for making science open and accessible (e.g. SCIELO).

Science =/= research.

Who knows them by the article title...?

"Protein measurement with the Folin" = Lowry
"Cleavage of structural proteins" = Laemmli
"A rapid and sensitive method" = Bradford

Congratulations. Following
