La liofilización, deshidrocongelación o criodesecación, es un proceso de deshidratación usado generalmente para conservar un alimento perecedero o hacer el material más conveniente para el transporte. La liofilización funciona congelando el material y luego reduciendo la presión circundante para permitir que el agua congelada en el material se sublime directamente desde la fase sólida a la fase gaseosa, sin pasar por el estado líquido. Para acelerar el proceso se utilizan ciclos de congelación-sublimación con los que se consigue eliminar prácticamente la totalidad del agua libre contenida en el producto original,[1][2] pero preservando la estructura molecular de la sustancia liofilizada.

Free PMC article Abstract This paper for the first time discusses a computational study of using magneto-electric (ME) nanoparticles to artificially stimulate the neural activity deep in the brain. The new technology provides a unique way to couple electric signals in the neural network to the magnetic dipoles in the nanoparticles with the purpose to enable a non-invasive approach. Simulations of the effect of ME nanoparticles for non-invasively stimulating the brain of a patient with Parkinson’s Disease to bring the pulsed sequences of the electric field to the levels comparable to those of healthy people show that the optimized values for the concentration of the 20-nm nanoparticles (with the magneto-electric (ME) coefficient of 100 V cm(-1) Oe(-1) in the aqueous solution) is 3 × 10(6) particles/cc, and the frequency of the externally applied 300-Oe magnetic field is 80 Hz. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22957042/

Scientists reveal that plants can feel when we touch them
Fiona MacDonald , ScienceAlert May 31, 2016, 11:15 AM https://www.businessinsider.com/plants-can-feel-touch-2016-5
It’s something that plant lovers have long suspected, but now Australian scientists have found evidence that plants really can feel when we’re touching them.
Not only that, but different sensations trigger a cascade of physiological and genetic changes, depending on the stimulation the plants are receiving, whether it’s a few drops of rain, or a little soft pat, which is probably the coolest thing we’ve heard all week.
“Although people generally assume plants don’t feel when they are being touched, this shows that they are actually very sensitive to it,” said lead researcher Olivier Van Aken from the University of Western Australia.
“While plants don’t appear to complain when we pinch a flower, step on them or just brush by them while going for a walk, they are fully aware of this contact and are rapidly responding to our treatment of them,” he added.
Plants are ‘in touch’ with the world around them Wednesday, 25 May 2016
But first thing’s first, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and anthropomorphize the crap out of this situation, as we humans love to do. Although this whole thing sounds super adorable and touchy feely, plants don’t have brains and they don’t “think”.
We also don’t have evidence to suggest that they actually “feel” in any way resembling our perception of the sense.
That said, previous research has shown that plants do have pretty good awareness of their surroundings. For example, they can “hear” when they’re being chewed on by insects, and release chemicals to stop it. And they’re also able to communicate with each other via a subterranean “internet” of fungus.
Plants Can “Hear” Themselves Being Eaten Plants know when they’re being chewed on, researchers have found, and they release defensive chemicals to try to stop it.FIONA MACDONALD21 OCTOBER 2014
Plant-microbe-animal interactions – Original research Open Access Published: Plants respond to leaf vibrations caused by insect herbivore chewing H. M. Appel & R. B. Cocroft Oecologia volume 175, pages1257–1266 (2014)Cite this article 99k Accesses 127 Citations 1078 Altmetric Metricsdetails Abstract Plant germination and growth can be influenced by sound, but the ecological significance of these responses is unclear. We asked whether acoustic energy generated by the feeding of insect herbivores was detected by plants. We report that the vibrations caused by insect feeding can elicit chemical defenses. Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) rosettes pre-treated with the vibrations caused by caterpillar feeding had higher levels of glucosinolate and anthocyanin defenses when subsequently fed upon by Pieris rapae (L.) caterpillars than did untreated plants. The plants also discriminated between the vibrations caused by chewing and those caused by wind or insect song. Plants thus respond to herbivore-generated vibrations in a selective and ecologically meaningful way. A vibration signaling pathway would complement the known signaling pathways that rely on volatile, electrical, or phloem-borne signals. We suggest that vibration may represent a new long distance signaling mechanism in plant–insect interactions that contributes to systemic induction of chemical defenses. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00442-014-2995-6
Plants have an internet of fungus, and they’re hacking each other
Published December 30, 2014This article is more than 2 years old.
The world wide web has been called the greatest ever human invention, but what if plants had a vast and equally complex set of communication networks?
A BBC article tracked the “internet of fungus,” an intricate underground information network where plants and fungi communicate with each other through a mass of threadlike strands, known as mycelium, that spread over great distances.
Paul Stamets, an American mycologist and fungus expert, has said that mycelia works much like ARPANET, one of the US Department of Defense’s earliest digital communication networks that would serve as the foundation for the global internet.
In the so-called “wood wide web,” plants and fungi depend on each other for survival through mutually beneficial relationships. This fungal network provides plants with nutrients like phosphorus and carbon nitrogen and with defense-related chemicals that protect against disease in a process known as “priming.” Meanwhile, plants provide fungi with food. The exchange takes place via the fungi’s mycelia strands.
And much like the human internet, outsiders are unwelcome. Plants compete with each other for crucial resources like water and light. In an effort to gain an advantage, some release harmful chemicals that are intended to destroy their rivals, what scientists refer to as allelopathy. Essentially, plants hack each other.
The attacks can be more hazardous to their victims than a malicious internet hack. In a 2001 paper, for example, Indian researchers in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu identified the allelopathic effects of four eucalyptus plants on redgrams, a type of bean. They found that the eucalyptus species inhibited the “germination and vigour index” of redgrams in their immediate habitat.
German researchers from Berlin Free University found (pdf) that the American black walnut tree engaged in similar hacking attacks. It inhibited the growth of various plants around it, like potatoes and cucumbers, by releasing a chemical from its leaves and roots. The researchers found that the accumulation of the chemical, known as juglone, resulted “in more effective target plant growth reductions.”
Allelopathy, however, may be beneficial to biogeographers, those who study the distribution of plants and animals within a given environment. They point to allelopathy as potential evidence of the impact of climate change on biodiversity. As plants’ resources are depleted, they may engage in more allelopathic attacks for survival. By tracking those changes, researchers are able to identify erosion and other threats to biodiversity.
In other words, the damage caused by plant hacking may actually enhance our understanding of the impact of climate change on the natural world. https://qz.com/318847/plants-have-an-internet-of-fungus-and-theyre-hacking-each-other/
While there’s no visible response to any of this stimulus, what this input does is help the plant stay aware of its surroundings and prepare itself for any potential danger, or get ready to take advantage of changing weather conditions.
One thing the scientists found was that spraying water droplets on plants caused them to change the expression of thousands of genes – a dramatic physiological response that started within minutes of the stimulus and stopped within half an hour.

“We were able to show that this response was not caused by any active compounds in the spray but rather by the physical contact caused by water drops landing on the leaf surface,” says Van Aken.
Curious to know how else they might respond, the team also found that gently patting the plants or touching them with tweezers could trigger a similar physiological cascade. So could a sudden shadow falling over their leaves.
All of this information could be essential to plants survival in the wild, the researchers explain in the journal Plant Physiology.
Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Stress Responses Are Modulated in Distinct Touch and Chemical Inhibition Phases Olivier Van Aken, Inge De Clercq, Aneta Ivanova, Simon R. Law, Frank Van Breusegem, A. Harvey Millar, James WhelanAuthor NotesPlant Physiology, Volume 171, Issue 3, July 2016, Pages 2150–2165, https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.16.00273Published: 09 May 2016 Article history PDF Split View Cite Permissions Icon Permissions Share Abstract Previous studies have identified a range of transcription factors that modulate retrograde regulation of mitochondrial and chloroplast functions in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). However, the relative importance of these regulators and whether they act downstream of separate or overlapping signaling cascades is still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that multiple stress-related signaling pathways, with distinct kinetic signatures, converge on overlapping gene sets involved in energy organelle function. The transcription factor ANAC017 is almost solely responsible for transcript induction of marker genes around 3 to 6 h after chemical inhibition of organelle function and is a key regulator of mitochondrial and specific types of chloroplast retrograde signaling. However, an independent and highly transient gene expression phase, initiated within 10 to 30 min after treatment, also targets energy organelle functions, and is related to touch and wounding responses. Metabolite analysis demonstrates that this early response is concurrent with rapid changes in tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates and large changes in transcript abundance of genes encoding mitochondrial dicarboxylate carrier proteins. It was further demonstrated that transcription factors AtWRKY15 and AtWRKY40 have repressive regulatory roles in this touch-responsive gene expression. Together, our results show that several regulatory systems can independently affect energy organelle function in response to stress, providing different means to exert operational control.Issue Section: SIGNALING AND RESPONSE https://academic.oup.com/plphys/article/171/3/2150/6115508
“Unlike animals, plants are unable to run away from harmful conditions. Instead, plants appear to have developed intricate stress defence systems to sense their environment and help them detect danger and respond appropriately,” says Van Aken.
Importantly, the study also identified two proteins that could switch off the plant’s touch response. In the future, this could help plants in controlled environments, such as greenhouses, from changing their genes and responding to “false alarm” stimuli.
One study on its own obviously isn’t enough to overhaul our understanding of plant stimulation perception, and more research is needed to replicate the finds. But for now, maybe we should all be more thoughtful when we’re prodding and poking our plants, or blocking their light with our giant human heads.
The good news? Singing seems to be pretty safe. “As yet, there’s no evidence to back the idea held by some people that the vibrations caused by just talking to plants has a strong enough effect to move plants,” Van Aken told Peter Spinks from the The Age.
Believe it or not: plants respond tenderly when patted or touched New findings suggest we ought to think differently about our interactions with supposedly unresponsive plants and vegetables.

The University of Western Australia The simple act of water droplets landing on a leaf causes an elaborate response inside of plants, scientists at The University of Western Australia have found. A similar reaction is seen when plants are patted or touched, suggesting that they are highly aware of what is happening to them. The study, published in the journal Plant Physiology, suggests that this touch response may prepare a plant to defend itself from danger or take advantage of changes in the weather.
