Bioblast about

Bioblast wiki

Bioblast was launched on 2010-07-12 as a glossary and index for Mitochondrial Physiology [1] and high-resolution respirometry (OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS), to find topics quickly, as a dynamic tool for summarizing definitions of terms, symbols, and abbreviations.

What is a wiki? A wiki (from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning “fast”) [2] is a technology for creating dynamic and collaborative websites. Quoting Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software WikiWikiWeb, it is “the simplest online database that could possibly work” [3]. Any user of the Bioblast Wiki will recognize the navigation tools of the software MediaWiki - that make the Wikipedia so popular and easy to use.

Contributions are invited by students and experts in the field. If successful and with support by active organizations, Bioblast Wiki may extend to cover mitochondrial health and disease, in nutrition and sports, for patients and practitioners, diagnosis and therapy - for all who care about Life and a life style in cooperation with the bioblasts.


OROBOROS

The Bioblast website is edited and moderated by (OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS)[4]. This website´s potential benefits as an innovative, self-developing database make the Bioblast Wiki much more than a service by OROBOROS. Find out more on the Bioblast track.


MitoPedia

What is the aim? Catalytically working as an Information synthase, Bioblast supports the decentralized evolution of a glossary of scientific terms, for developing a consistent nomenclature in the growing field of mitochondrial physiology.


Publications in the MiPMap

The corresponding category Publications provides a portal for sharing, disseminating and commenting relevant literature in mitochondrial physiology, with context-related 'filters' for references. Bioblast allows the “evolution” of a scientific publication – providing space for open discussions and extensions of an otherwise static ‘paper’. This applies specifically to Methods and Materials, Discussion, and References sections, which may be limited by space in original publications. For example, O2k-Protocols are found now more quickly and users are encouraged to contribute and share their expertise.


Gentle Science

Bioblast provides a platform for Gentle Science [5] in the spirit of Scientific Social Responsibility. The icon of Gentle Science is Ganesha.



MitoGlobal

MitoGlobal provides a world-wide platform for societies and organizations supporting mitochondrial research and medicine. MitoGlobal is moderated by the international MiPsociety.



MitoFit

MitoFit establishes an inter-university Network in Mitochondrial Physiology.



Bioblast wiki

How does it work? We invite scientists, students and technicians in the field of mitochondrial physiology and pathology to join as ‘active users’ in the spirit of Gentle Science, to ensure that the Bioblast Wiki will develop into a database of top-quality scientific information. This can be achieved only by an expert-moderated wiki – with input and feedback of a large benevolent user community of experts in mitochondrial physiology.

All of you can shape the Bioblast Wiki by bringing together scientists working in divergent disciplines, to discuss, to resolve differences, to spread new knowledge and techniques; thus meeting the demand to integrate current developments in the methodologically and conceptually complex field of mitochondrial physiology.[6]

How to register? A gradually increasing community of ‘active users’ implies a growth of the Bioblast Wiki following the concept of Tempo giusto (the appropriate speed). To be able to log in, you have to create your personal account. Please use your real name, as you would do in a scientific publication. Anonymous or pseudonymous contributions to Bioblast do not follow the scientific attitude of publication, and may be removed from the Bioblast Wiki.

Bioblast editors

Bioblast wiki by OROBOROS

This Bioblast wiki - Bioblast logo is derived from original artwork by Odra Noel on the inner mitochondrial membrane showing the ATP synthase - appropriate for the concept of Bioblast as an information synthase. The information synthase is combined with the OROBOROS logo - cooperation and feedback in science. To help us maintaining a high scientific standard in the Bioblast wiki, we invite scientists and students to join our Bioblast editorial board.


Company of Scientists

The Company of Scientists evolves as a new concept and project on Bioblast.
